So, following the Pirates 16-5 loss to Arizona today, which included the D'backs scoring 13 runs in one inning, charismatic Bucco Skipper John Russell had this to offer:
"Thirteen runs in one inning. What are you gonna do?"
I'm sure that JR will, as Charlie Dressen once said, think of something.
Actually, as easy as it is to make fun of the emotionless John Russell, he probably makes a good point with the above quote. When you give up 16 runs in one game, it is probably best to forget about it and not even try to analyze it. Still, I see it pointed out that in the three games the Pirates have lost, the combined scores have been 34-7.
Do three lopsided losses (out of six games) constitute a trend? Let's hope not, but if it does, "what are you gonna do?"
