Not when you run a scrub like Kikuchi out there who has been throwing a baseball the past 15 years of his life and still has no clue where the strike zone is, no. Not when your top 4 hitters combine to go 2 for 17 with 2 singles.. it's not like there aren't obvious reasons for the loss, you cannot tell me last night was not a winnable game in every way. Not to mention I was complaining about Espinal being benched yesterday and his replacement Biggio went 0 for 3 with 3 Ks and 3 LOB. Had they just played Espi that right there might've been enough difference to win the game. Losses don't just "happen" because that's how baseball works
