Historically has a playoff team ever been so terrible that they were shutout in every game of the series?

This was just posted. Looks like only the 2nd time a team has been shutout the first two games of a series.

They did it!!! The Braves finally scored a run...and who was it that received that elusive RBI??? Sean Newcomb...the pitcher

ACUNA GRAND SLAM!!!!!!

 

[death2redemptions]

Very Andruw Jones like....

 

[death2redemptions]

Ronald Acuna just became the youngest player in MLB history to hit a grand slam in the postseason. The previous? Mickey Mantle

ACUNA GRAND SLAM!!!!!!

YES!

 

[death2redemptions]

YES!

Your letters can't be bigger than mine!!! I'm more excited!!!!!!!

Acuna gave one run back though. Our pitchers are walking too many batters. That trend has been an issue for a while now.

Well, when he's the only position player who has scored a run this entire postseason, he's allowed to give one back. Although I'd prefer he didn't.

Oh yeah, way too many free passes from our pitching lately. I'd like to blame it on our losing ways this postseason but it's clearly the offense (or lack thereof) that has been the biggest contributor to our problems.

And just like that we no longer have a lead.

Freddie!!!

Our bullpen really needs to come through.

Nice inning from Sobotka.

Nothing comes easy in the postseason....

 

[manningmurphyfan]

AJ made it interesting. Up to Arodys to close this out. Insurance run would be nice.

 

[death2redemptions]

This is just bad....

 

[Letch77]

They're tryin' to F it up...at least it seems like it.

 

[death2redemptions]

We're just an out away......but there are also runners on 2nd & 3rd now.
