AAR opened yesterday’s recap by noting how “streakingly inconsistent” this year’s team is. That’s no doubt true, but isn’t it odd how such an inconsistent team can be so maddeningly predictable?

Chance to get back to .500 but coming up short of that goal? Check. (I believe this was the 10th time they’ve lost when a win would have put them at .500).
Lose after being tied through six innings?
