On June 21, Arizona Diamondbacks third baseman Jake Lamb took a golden sombrero against Marco Estrada and the Toronto Blue Jays' bullpen. But Lamb’s story is not about this game. It’s about what happened before and after it.
“Last year, if I went 0-for-4 with four strikeouts, I would have been thinking about it for three days,” Lamb said. “I’d be thinking, 'How am I going to get it back?'
"Now, I just accept that it’s a bad game and I get back to it the next day. I’ve had plenty of bad games, but that’s all they are, one game.
