Well, we struggled to beat COL and ARI too (and also lost to both of them), so it's par for the course. This "score 2 runs and rely on pitching to win" is a losing strategy once the playoffs start.
Can't help asking how far are we going against post season calibre pitchers when we struggle against the likes of Gallen, Yu, Mantiply,etc., and the others the rest of the league was knocking around. Seems to me we are laying the foundation for pitching performances that have to be near perfect consistently with this little more than nothing offemse we've morphed in to. Maybe the old superstition that post season teams can do 180°s as soon as the post season begins will bail us out...I hope so...because right now we look pretty harmless going in. Can't win if you don't score. I also wonder where the hell would we be with the team we started the season with ??? In other words, without Max and TT ???
Probably not a popular opinion, but Scherzer is getting barreled up like crazy. Lotta hard hit balls...ever since that demonic Coors...
