    The team does have to learn how to play well on the road. It doesn't help that McCullers totally crumbled, screwing everything up.

    It says something about the psyche of this team. They play well at home but something changes on the road. That will haunt them in the playoffs if they can't fix that

    Straily and Sipp only giving up 4 runs in 7 innings is pretty fantastic

    It was stupid, especially after not pinch hitting Valbuena for Jed in the 6th inning.

    Thats what i said, we dont win on the road, we dont win series.

    So, we need to win a lot of home games because on the road, we are not good.

    We have WORSE road record in our division, and probably we have top 5 worse record in the American League.

    We are more than bad on the road, is pitiful.

    With the team turning into a bad road team, it could be showing a lack of mental toughness.

    Hinch has managed this game horribly. The major one being not PH'ing Jed for Valbuena.

    You almost have to try and intentionally be that inept.

    Not worried about being a bad road team. We get home field in the World Series.

    Agree, but we are third behind NY and KC.

    it is what it is. at the end of the day, you got to leave it all there on the field and move on to the next one. that's baseball.
