And now all of a sudden, you're cold, cold.
Because you look at what the top five people, or excuse me, two, three, and four did after a two-for-four day for Nico Horner, who was kind of scuffling a little bit.
Nico was the only person who got in scoring position.
To go 0-for-11 with nine strikeouts, 2-3-4.
0 for 11, 9 strikeouts between Moises Ballesteros, Seiya Suzuki, and Ian Happ, who's on base streak, came to a screeching halt at 30 games.
I think this was just one of those circumstances where you're not going to hit all the time.
But when you have a pitcher of Jacob deGrom's caliber going up, and you're already, as a team, not getting it done, that's a lot of opportunities with runners in scoring position not to push things across.
It struck me as, all right, this is just kind of how it goes.
This is going to be ups and downs.
This was a down and a much appreciated, much needed, simply day off.

in theory clearly it's not going to happen in practicum with the injuries that they've suffered a six-man rotation made sense to me from jump like yo just get six guys out there you'll be fine but of course starting pitchers start dropping like flies and you just have to make do with what you have i mean ben brown's out here giving people four no hit innings right you
you have to understand, and that's the, by the way, the most exciting part of this series coming up.
Ben Brown versus Chris Sale.
I'm here for it.
