But they've win games... 2015... 4-5 postseason 2017... 4-6 postseason 2018... 0-2 WC 2020... 0-2 WC Those days seem like decades ago...you start piling up losses and it's hard to remember what it was like before that. |

As a Cubs fan, I don't think I've been alive long enough to see 10 playoff losses. Pirates fan . . . I haven't even seen 10 playoff games . . . Only (3) playoff appearances since 1992 NL championships series. But better than the Orioles the have won playoff games in the last decade+... 2013 the won the WC game vs the Reds, then lost the next series to the Cards 3-2. 2014, 2015 made the WC game and shut out twice! One winning season since, 2018. Sadly I did not realize how futile they've been... Since the (3) year run losing in the NL championship series, 1990-1992, they have (4) seasons above .500, and only (11) since the 1979 WS title. Since then almost as many 100 loss seasons (5) as playoff appearances (6). At the time I thought their 70's (?) "pillbox" striped cap was the best hat ever! i.ebayimg.com/images/g/j5QAAOSwwWpmKsqu/s-l960.webp |

Rough article about Adley on Yahoo Sports. In the fifth, with bases loaded, two outs and an 2-0 count, Adley sat on the next two pitches to get into a 2-2 count. Then he grounded out.
He should be money in that situation, the article says, but maybe next year.

Sounded like he hit an absolute rocket that Witt made a nice play on. Sometimes all you can do is hit the ball and hope for the best. |

He should be money in that situation, the article says, but maybe next year. Yep added comments from his manager that said he's been too passive the last month in positive counts. Needed him to get more aggressive. The 2-0 pitch was GROOVED. As the announcer said, paraphrasing, "... right where you put the ball doing tee drill..." He had a tough September. Happens at that level, especially at that position. |
