Good pitching is essential, but you need to score runs to win

Increasing your personal cash flow is a simple proposition. Increase the amount of money coming in and decrease the amount of money going out. Make more money and spend less of it. In baseball terms, that means score more runs and don’t let the other team score runs. Having a good set of pitchers and sound defensive play from your fielders will keep the opponents runs to a minimum. But this alone is not going to win you the championship. You need to be able to put runs up on the board to make up for any inevitable mistakes from the defense.
