Either he is a strike throwing machine (and if so, why aren't we hitting them?), or we are swinging at everything.

It has been easier for Pence to be productive in the Phils lineup, he doesn't have to be the man. It has been harder for Beltran, as he has been "injured", and he has to be a leader. Tough to be a leader when everyone else around you is failing. But that is when leaders lead, d@mmit. He gets a few hits here and there, but he has done nothing to strengthen this lineup. In fact, his presence may have hurt it. Or so it appears.
