Hunter Strickland brought back memories of the 2014 postseason, and not in a good way.
Is there anything worse than giving up a three-run homer with a two-run lead? You, in the back.
Giving up a grand slam with a three-run lead, moron.
Fair enough. But they’re spiritual cousins. It’s hard to give up a three-run homer and win any game, but it’s especially painful when it happens to be the exact lead you’re trying to protect. A curve pounded into the dirt, right to Brandon Crawford, and the eighth inning is over.
