The Senators had 19 hits last night but they also had 13 guys left on base and 2 errors. Oh, don't forget the base running errors as well that aren't accounted for. You and I would've both thought that when you read 19 hits you expect victory. Well those 19 hits turned into only 6 runs because of untimely strikeouts and mental errors. They lost the game 7-6.
This is probably the most frustrating loss of the season so far because this was the breakout game at the plate that the team really needed. They just made too many mental errors that cost them the game. 2 fielding errors and at least one caught stealing will cost you games no matter how many hits you get. I know when you are 2-15 and in the midst of a long losing streak these things, "just happen" but I am beginning to wonder if these things are habits and not accidents.
The physical errors and just not being good enough is something the coaches and fans alike should be able to deal with, but Mr. Stearns please do something about the mental errors that are costing this team. It's only April but we are 1o games out of the playoffs and with games like this one and mental mistakes like this, I don't see this getting any better anytime fast.
Oh by the way, we lost today 9-3. I don't mean to be so negative and I am honestly not trying to upset anyone, I am just speaking from my point of view. I will be at the games supporting the guys either way but I really hope they can turn this thing around because before this losing streak, I had thought this team had a chance to really compete!
Come On Senators!
