As the designated Saturday Recapper for the Snake Pit, I’ll admit, I’ve been thinking about this for awhile. I hadn’t actually gone and looked up our weekend records before now—I had a vague but growing conviction that we’ve been playing really bad weekend ball, but after writing yet another “hey, come see if we can salvage a series win/split the series/avoid the sweep” paragraph in the Saturday afternoon recap, I decided to examine more closely. And, as will be shocking I expect to no one, I found that I was right.
Going into this morning’s avoid-the-sweep effort against Cincinnati, we are sporting a scruffy if not totally unconscionable 31-33 record.
