Every loss seems to play out the same way these days. The starter pitches okay but not great, the offense doesn’t get The Big Hit, and the Triple-A bullpen allows an insurance run or two. That’s exactly what happened in Friday night’s 5-2 loss to the White Sox. It followed the script perfectly.
Three Bad Innings
Earlier this season, CC Sabathia seemed to fall victim to the One Bad Inning start after start. He’d pitch well for a few innings, allow like four runs at once, then continue to pitch well afterwards.
