I think this loss is one of the hardest to accept because it breaks the momentum of winning while the primary opponents lose, and we continue with the same problems seen all year.
Falling behind quickly, become dependent on a perfect bullpen, leave RISP innings 1-5 before making a move. Poor defense, not just errors but misplays or lack of athleticism to make plays currently just out of reach. Also playing guys like Arauz and Motter while Jose Iglesias became available.
