We had plenty of the opportunities to expand the lead or flat out win the game, and couldn't get it done. So many runner left on base, how many did Varsho alone leave on base tonight and this series.
This one stings cause we were better team overall, and should have won, but just like for whatever reason baseball gods didn't want us to take it. #9 hitter Rojas hit a HR in the 9th? You kidding me, yet the next batter othani he gets out!
I was scorebaord watching, Vlad gets a double, his only hit in the game for the tying run with no one out, and for some reason, I knew we just weren't going to cash him in. Our best hitter actually delivered in a high stakes moment but it wasn't enough because it simply wasn't a home run.
