With so many games in a baseball season, every team is bound to have its share of stinkers. Sometimes a starter just doesn’t have it. Sometimes, the offense can’t hit its way out of a paper bag. Other days, the starter goes seven scoreless, only to see the bullpen implode.
This game wasn’t like those kind of stinkers. There are other bad games that live in an irritating gray area, where the team plays well enough to win, but frustratingly finds ways to fall short. That’s the category a night like tonight falls into. Rookie Jonathan Loaisiga wasn’t great, but the bullpen was in relief of him.
