Game #36: A's offense wastes Sonny in horribly depressing series finale, lose 2-0.

Every fan of every team in baseball is convinced that they have a problem driving in runners in scoring position. In reality, it’s not really a problem for most of them. An RISP failure is one of those things that stick in your head, and RISP failures are something that make up the most frustrating losses.

The runs are RIGHT THERE. Just put a ball LITERALLY ANYWHERE IN PLAY. Come ON.

Apparently it’s harder than it looks!

Today’s game was a very different type of loss than we’re used to, and I suppose that counts for something.
