Houston Astros: Nobody to Blame for the 2015 Collapse

When I arrived at work on Thursday morning, a co-worker who teaches across the hall immediately popped in:

“It’s over. Our manager just doesn’t know how to handle a bullpen. Sickening.”

This reaction is, of course, human nature. An event happens that causes us some level of emotional distress, and we immediately search for someone to blame. The goal is to transfer the feelings of sadness and/or anger that we do not deserve, I personally did not throw a flat slider to David Freese in the eighth inning Wednesday, onto someone who does.
