Actual blown saves are more like 4, with 2 of them from this past weekend on the road. It's a concern that we don't have a closer, but the guys we have need to execute better. The moment seemed too big for some of the guys. Hopefully, they can get some mental toughness and be ready to compete the next time.
Did I say that losing close games was only a pitching thing? No, I didn't.
That 2-word sentence: "Can't Finish" doesn't just apply to relief pitching. It also pertains to hitting/scoring runs.
