Five straight losses against the Phillies and Nationals are unsettling, for sure. It’s important to remember that there were some mitigating circumstances that helped that along. It’s also important to remember that no playoff losses are ever remembered with a side of “boy if only Team X had won all those games down the stretch”. Even if it does cost home field advantage. Playoff losses will be remembered for what happens in playoff games. Not games where Bobby Parnell has to pitch against the Phillies and doubleheaders against the Nationals where Yoenis Cespedes and Lucas Duda sit out to rest for the playoffs.
