Our failures were too many to count.  Our lack of adding on in the middle innings.  Brice's failure to make a routine DP to end the game.  Olson serving up hittable pitches in the 1st 2 innings.  Shay giving up lead off singles all 3 innings.

Gotta blow up those pesky Golden Gophers.

I didn't see the play, but I would think that overturning it would be very difficult especially with the limited camera view.

I sure hope so.  Max will most likely be gone so we can move Brice to 2nd.

We are now 0 -14 - 1 when the opponent scores 6 or more runs.  I don't believe this stat, we are 17 - 2 when leading after 8 innings.  It feels like we have blown more games than that.  We are 0 - 13 when trailing after 6 innings.  If you are ahead of us after 6, you pretty much have the game wrapped up.

Just can't survive down 2-0 and 4-1 every night. Chasing runs constantly is no way to live.

 

Olson did a good job of battling back after the horrific start, but this team is definitely finding ways to lose right now instead of making plays to win.

 

And I have to defend Matthews on the play in the 9th - he has blown some easy plays in the field this season, but that ball in the 9th was absolutely stung right at him and he had no chance but to try to field the short hop and it came up on him. Incredibly difficult play. At least half of major league shortstops would've had that bounce off their chests too.  It's an error technically, but a very tough one.

 

We never should've been in that spot, honestly. 4 straight batters hit bullets on 2-strike pitches to open the 9th. That should never happen. Clearly, Shay wasn't spotting well last night, as he grooved those 2-strike pitches. Plus, two of those hitters were trying to sacrifice before being forced to swing away with 2 strikes. Unreal. Then Bunz gives up the bases clearing double on another 2-strike pitch.

 

Plus we load the bases in the 8th with our best hitter at the plate and can't score. Then we get the go-ahead run at the plate in the 9th with our other best hitter and can't score. Meanwhile, their #9 hitter who's below .200 blasts a key HR.

 

It's really hard to believe sometimes.

We need to do that all the time.

 

Yes. It seems like, clearly, they need to be ticked off in order to perform well against inferior competition. It's one of the reasons why this team is so frustrating.
