Neither team deserved to win that debacle. The dubious new pitching record speaks for itself. Had we been playing a team that could make occasional contact, we'd have been blown out. Of course, we didn't exactly tear it up at the plate, either, though we did have some tough luck at times (Downs, Salem). Avila taking home the platinum sombrero was difficult to watch - four K's looking is just plain inexcusable, especially for a hitter that talented. But, this team has consistently managed to find ways to bounce back this season, and I don't doubt that they'll put this one behind them and come out sharp tomorrow.
