Wyatt Lee blames the extra heavy
hitting done in the International

er and the poor condition the pitchers
were in last spring. you'll find that
most of the shutout games are pitched
on hot days, when the pitchers are
feeling good. Toronto's phenomenal

was due to the cool wind which swept
across the bay and made it bad for
