Man we just SUCK in close games especially in our own division. We're toast after the past three nights.
Our pen which should be pretty good gives up 8 runs in the 8th and 9th to lose 12-11 to Jeep in extras.
Then Feliz and Wilson give up 4 in the top of the 8th to lose by 2 to Jeep.
We lose 2 of 3 to Poorly who has struggled against most teams except for us.
Then, to top it off, DT, a good, and very lucky team against us, sweeps us winning by one or two runs. We leave 11 on in the first game (to his 3) and lose by 1, We give up an unearned run inthe bottom of the 9th when CJ Wilson, with two out, makes back-to-back errors and then walks two LHBs off of his own card. Granted he's no gold glove, but you only have 2 chances in 216 to get a PX and his OB v LHB isn't *that* bad. Then in game 3, we lose giving up 3 unearned runs in the 8th when Gold Glvoer Span (1e6) makes an 2base E that costs us three runs and we lose by 2. Oh, did I mention we left 10 on in that game?
Man this team has just been brutalized by the dice. Still have the third best Pythag (even with Feliz performing horribly) and we're once again a game below .500. Brutal.
We're playing .315 ball against our division. :shock: That's just horribly bad luck. I mean our division is good, but no way we're *that* much worst than them, especially with Poorly. We have -3 run diff with Poorly and are -4 won/loss and 8 fewer runs than Jeep with also -4. And, to top it off, 10 of 16 losses to DT have been by 1 or 2 runs or in extras. :shock: that's just F-UGLY and it pisses me off!
Nothing against anyone here at all, just very frustrating. I thought things would even out, but.....Man! This has been a very tough NLD for me. :evil: :cry: Just hoping to finish above .500 now.
