Can't blame the pitchers, Doug, Kane and Turnbow held the fish to 1 run on 5 hits through 9. Can't really blame the offense they had 10 hits and 2 walks through nine. So why did we lose today?
Bad luck, that's it. Simple bad luck. The hits came, they just simply didn't come when we needed them most. Namely the third inning after singles by Overbay and Lee and the seventh inning after a Wes Helms pinch hit leadoff double.
I applaud Yost for not bunting in those two situations, and despite the unfortunate outcomes we had our chances.
