The Oakland series was a blessed relief. I don't think baseball was ever supposed to look like what the Ms have shown us over the first nine weeks of the season, be it double-digits wins or losses. 8 runs total between two teams, a 5 to 3 game, feels about right. So these last two games seemed normal... still plenty of excitement and suspense, but not that dizzy sensation of seeing six or seven runs scored at a time.
This team needs a little bit of normalcy. If the hitting and pitching are to settle down, if they are to establish an identity and a template for winning there needs to be less chaos. Here's hoping the nightmare in Boston last weekend marks the end of the craziness. Less hope for some regular baseball, win or losing, so these players can master the technique of that kind of game.
