Our team can easily comeback and win, but that was a really god awful inning to watch & the Stankess fans at our park made it worse.
I can't imagine how pissed McCullers must be, he only gave up a single run yet is charged for 3. Left with a 2 run lead and not 2 outs later isn't in a position to win the game.
Bingo. If Lance should be pissed at anything it's at himself for not throwing strikes to that guy. Was that their 9-hitter?
This isn't every game. These games are a bit different and this situation determines if your starting pitcher gets the win.....stop.
Yes we have the talent to come back, but innings like that can demoralize a team and suck the life out of their offense. I won't be surprised if we have 3 runs at the end of the game. (Of course Alex Bregman may hit a solo HR in the 9th you never know.)
I'm thinking you may be standing all alone with this one. Bad thing is, he's contributing to this killing of us even though he doesn't mean to.
Yes, they're just games before the ASB against a good team from another division. That's all. No different than Cleveland or Boston or Washington or whoever.
I don't think these games are all that different. Especially with a 3-1 lead in the series and 3 to play (if you think their H2H record vs the Yanks is THAT important at this point in the season) And I really don't think Hinch is managing to ensure the starter getting the win ahead of thinking about team concerns.
