True, but this isn't anything new for Rickie. Mental mistakes and extremely costly errors are something you can depend on him to commit. If he didn't inexplicably walk a lot, there would be no reason for him to even be in the majors. I don't know many teams that are allowing a .225 hitter to stay in their lineup. That's another thread, that's been hashed out a million times here (with good reason, generally). But he is not the sole or even primary reason this team lost tonight, and a huge reason we were even in it.
