If I had to come up with one sentence to describe my reaction to this series this might be it.
Especially today, until the 8th inning rally, I was stewing over the general lack of offense, including some really awful at bats in scoring situations. I just about lost it when Frelick hacked at a high inside pitch against a pitcher who had just walked two batters, including the previous one on 4 pitches. Same feeling when Adames chased a 2-0 pitch about a foot outside with the bases loaded and none out in the 8th.
Then there were the defensive and base running mistakes that can be fatal against anyone, not just one of the league’s best teams.
Hopefully the young players will learn from and grow from this series. At times they looked like a team that was playing tight, and that won’t work in the playoffs or if they get challenged in the division race.
