The missed ball four on Holliday was particularly damaging after the Beltran homer. Instead of first and third with not outs or first and second you have one on one out. That could have been a big inning. That said, take care of business tomorrow and I like our chances in 5.
Also, could we bump the regular season thread and let this rally killer fade into the abyss?
