So Olson is facing WAY more LHP than most LHH typically face, and it at least partly has to do with Snit failing to protect him against them in any way. Snit just leaves Olson out there to struggle with LHP, and his results are suffering. But of course Dino-snit has no clue and will just keep allowing opposing managers to throw RHP against Acuna/Albies/Riley, and then a LHP vs Olson/Ozuna/Harris, and leave it up to the talent to overcome...no help from the skipper as usual.
