Nothing sums up futility as much as a sentence such as “Nomar Mazara lines an RBI double to second baseman Tommy La Stella.” RBI doubles to an infielder are just not very common. But combine that with the other observation from last night: “Calhoun stars in ‘When HR robberies go wrong’ “. And here we are.
0 runs on 3 hits. On the history of Major League Baseball, nobody has ever won a game when their side scored 0 runs. We didn’t change that history last night. We couldn’t even be bothered to chase the starting pitcher, a rarity anymore.
