Good team played a bad game.
I'm defining "good" as having a 64-52 record.

I really don't think that fundamental lapses by players equates to having a low baseball IQ or low IQ in general. In fact, I think that assertion is silly. There isn't a person in this world that hasn't made mistakes in their job. It's the human condition.
The Rockies have the third best offense in the NL. Of course, they are 11 games under .500 and 13 games back, but I bet their fans sure are excited!Quote:

Thanks Jack and Xavier both of your WARs should lose a full point tonight.
Lose one game after winning a few in a row and the sky is falling.
We're bad again. Win tomorrow and take the series.
We finally threw in the white towel on that disaster. Hopefully the concussion doesn't last till tomorrow.
So when they played their top 8 they won about half of those games?Quote:

This team was really banking on Ludwick having a good season. Injuries have really hurt us...more than other teams who have had injuries as well. I think this goes back to management not having much of a bench.
Nice.Quote:

We have a chance to take the series at home against a bad team missing two of their best players!!!Quote:

Both guys are already negative.... not sure you can get a lot worse than that.Quote:

Four errors, two unearned runs, two outs given away on the bases, and a failure to get a runner in from third with 0 outs. Reds completely gave this game away.
