When you start blaming officials/refs and that becomes your focus you are done.

My thoughts exactly. I understand being upset in the moment but once that play or pitch is over you move on to the next one and adjust. The first out in the 9th is a perfect example. The umpire made a horrible strike call no doubt but the batter didn't adjust. He should have known you get that call he is going right back there with the next pitch if it's close you have to swing. I will never feel bad for a player that looks at strike three. If it's close enough to call it's close enough to foul off at minimum.

Also when Pat Casey came out to argue a play at first and mentioned the foul ball from he day before I knew it was over. They never moved on from that one play in the 3rd inning the game before. It's baseball you have to overcome things.
