Certainly if we had a Landon Sims type closer it would cover up a lot of mistakes but the main reason we don't win is we are a 'sloppy' baseball team. Been put in another thread that's it's about the little things that we screw up that don't matter in decisive games but get you beat 9 out of 10 times in close games. It's baserunning blunders, late game fielding errors, walks and hit by pitches at the wrong time, strikeouts in key situations that are non-productive outs and on and on. We don't perform when the chips are down and that is why we don't win close games. May not show up in overall stats buts it's very obvious when you watch us play. Choke factor is high with this team when the pressure is on and we don't perform the fundamentals in those situations. I think that flows down from leadership or lack thereof from Lemonis.

Those little things get magnified more when you don't have a closer.
