Last night I brushed off a one-run loss. I said it is what it is, that tight losses just happen sometimes, that there was still a chance to win the series, all that good stuff.
I’m having a tougher time tonight. Once again the Braves took the lead in the first inning, once again the starting pitcher failed to establish a rhythm or go deep in the game, and once again the Braves lost a seesaw by one run. The final score was 7-6 tonight, but the bigger picture is that it was another very winnable game that got away.
