Casey Schmitt goofed a grounder in the 9th inning of the Colorado Rockies series, allowing for their dismal division rivals to work a tables-turning comeback on Thursday and spoil a perfectly pleasant series.
Despite his performance at the plate that loss could be hung on Schmitt. That screaming baby of regret, of disappointment, of shame squirmed on his lap the whole plane ride from Denver to LA, from the tarmac to the hotel, from the hotel to Dodger Stadium on Friday.
The error is the kind of play that could crush a player like him.
