Runners on 2nd and 3rd with one out and they can't manufacture a run. ****.

They have done this 4 score times this year. Arod prattling about walking Caratini obviously hasn't seen Caratini bat much. Almora's lead was not good....I don't know, maybe he thought the LA catcher would throw behind him with Caratini batting lefty I think.

Caratini obviously has to do a better job but for once I actually agree with A-Rod. If Almora isn't standing flat footed on the swing of the bat I think he sneaks in and scores. Got caught watching the game, IMO

Honestly 2-5 against those teams on the road isn't horrible. Both were on long home winning streaks prior to the Cubs coming in.

I wanted at least 3 to call it a successful trip, but I'm not losing any sleep over 2. Finished the season series with both, and still only 1 game out of first place.

Strop is not the answer....I don't get paid anything by Ricketts and I know more than Maddon or Epstein on that one.
