It is definitely more fun to write this blog when they are winning. I couldn't see last night's 5-4 loss to Cleveland. From the broadcast it sounds like the home plate ump called some key questionable pitches as strikes. I can't confirm that. What I do know is the M's struck out 11 times , six of them called of them called and at key moments leaving seven runners on base. I can't get the exact number but I recall a couple on full counts.
In viewing the video replays a couple of those called strikeouts with runners in scoring position do look marginal, but a couple of days ago they were fouling them off. Since when are the M's taking close pitches on two-strike counts.
The eighth inning was a bullpen disaster. Two runs, four walks and a HBP along with two errors by Beckham.
M's weaknesses totally exposed. Try to do better tonight.
