Runs Lost Part #4

Game 16 versus Houston

This will be brief...

First inning, after a ManRam single scores Raffy, Andre hits a flyball to center that's deep enough to move the O-Dawg to 3rd. Russ strikes out swinging and James grounds out to 1st. It didn't end up hurting the Dodgers as they won 2-0, but I will remind you that the Astros had runners on 2nd and 3rd with two outs in the ninth. A base hit there ties up the game; however, if that second run had been pushed across in the first inning, it would have rendered those two base runners in the ninth inconsequential. Let's thank Big John that it didn't end up mattering.

That's five "Runs Lost" due to poor execution in three games versus the Astros. The result? Dropping 2 out of 3 games to one of the worst teams in baseball.
