286: Yeah that’s one that looks like a double off the bat, but is pretty obviously a single out of the batter’s box. Clark is not a fast man.

Doh, I misread ya … yes, I definitely thought Clark should have had the double. But he is slow, and it was hard hit and played nicely by the left fielder.

284: It was actually Peavy on first I believe. I was wondering if he could have made it … fwiw, if he had, their avg. win expectancy would have gone up. That’s a real spot where you want to take the lead, I think, rather than just tie — not that they weren’t essentially trying to do that.

283, How did Clark not wind up a second base, on the hit right before Giles sac?

279: Hey, cool, Richard. 15 in a row for the Pirates — unreal.

As for my “keys to the loss” — obviously you could point to many things, but the base running mistake by Kouz was a killer. Also, I’ll go back to the 9th, the Giles sac fly … not sure that’s really what we wanted there, but it looks good at the time … anyway, it’s not like he was necessarily trying for the sac fly — he gave it a pretty good ride. Ehh, frustrating loss.

They are going to need luck, it doesn’t look like talent will be enough.

the problem with setting yourself up to win with pitching and defense is that it leaves you open to losing these kind of games…

We MUST do a better job of bringing runners around to win this division this year. Small ball? Taking more chances on the base paths? Productive outs? If I knew the answer, I would have Buddy’s job.

Timmons did us no favors.

Well, that sucked. And that winning/losing season streak list is up.
