There’s nothing that irks me more in baseball than when a major league hitter cannot deliver with a runner on third and fewer than two outs. Nothing.
In the fourth inning, Francisco Arcia had one such situation, and he proceeded to strike out swinging.
In the fifth inning, Eric Young Jr. had a crack at the apple, and he struck out looking, which might be better or might be worse. Arcia proved he couldn’t make contact with the ball, but EYJ proved he wasn’t even TRYING to make contact with the ball.
In the seventh inning, Andrelton Simmons popped up with the bases loaded.
