This was a team loss.
* Cabrera mostly did well I thought, but 4 runs against one of the 5 worst teams in MLB is still 4 runs. His WHIP was about 2 through 6 1/3.
* Jones went 3 for 3, but IMO, cost us the key run of the game in the first with not a 1, but 2 base error. Bad baseball there.
* Millar went a big fat 0 for 4 and stranded 4.
* I am usually a Melvin apologist, but wow ... was that horrendous in the 9th. Tailor damm made DP. Might as well bunt in that situation ... I mean, it is the NL.
* Fahey CAN'T get thrown out at 2nd like he did after driving in the 2nd run. If he plays the inning right, coupled with Jones playing the single in the 1st, maybe we go up 3-1 at that point of the game.
* Finally, Payton has been tearing it up, and a lefty was going last night. Why not go with the hot bat? If the argument applies to Huff ... and I think it does ... it applies to Payton. Still, the 0 for 4 and the misplay in the 7th were bad.
* As a team we left 11 on base.
If you're upset with one in this game, then you've got to pick on everybody. We stunk up the capital last night. I hope we bounce back and win the next 2. C'mon O's.
