I'd rather give up 6 solo homers that don't cost me any games than two 3 run shots that cost me two ballgames. I know sequencing is mostly luck, but in my opinion its better to have a lucky pitcher than a good one. When that luck runs out, then he can be cut... a good one has to be ridden through storms, and still needs some luck to get through the great hitting teams.
