We've all been there. My team couldn't have picked a worse time to score 6 runs in 4 games, and half those were in a 10-3 blowout.

Oh well, posting link to the team to show that you can win with pitching. In the regular season at least...

Seems to happen all too often.
Very nice team though!

Very unique lineup - looking at the roster, I would have said before the season that it would struggle to score 4 runs a game, but they really jelled and cranked out 5 per - well constructed without using the usual suspects. Picked a bad time to go cold, that's for sure.

The other team spending over $40M on starters didn't help. The guy who filled his staff with .50 pitchers shows you can lose big without it.
