Two hits in the book, but two misplays on the field. You can be a lot better than the other team is, you can have played a lot less baseball and logged a lot fewer air miles in the last few days than they have, but if you give them five outs in an inning, you’re going to regret it.

Today, they’re on the brink of elimination because that defense let them down. Playoffs, man.
