Lefty or righty, batters seem to be able to hit well off of Bobby Parnell.
Parnell vs. LHB: 18-62 (.290 AVG), 5 BB, 12 K
Parnell vs. RHB: 14-39 (.359 AVG), 6 BB, 9 K
Parnell is sporting a 3.20 ERA in 2009, but has seen that rise over his last three appearances.
Entering the series against the Phillies last year, Parnell had a 1.96 ERA. After letting in four earned runs over his last 2 1-3 innings (three appearances), his ERA has jumped over a full point.
Yikes.
