re: It's baseball. How are you wizards proclaiming this CCU team better than us

You think we didn't hit well?

Not in comparison to them.

And I'll change "hit" to "bat", and it becomes even more evident.

We racked up a numerically large number of hits, but we had a horrible time advancing the runners.

Runner on second and less than two outs, how many times did we hit grounders to 3rd base, or infield popups- that prevents our baserunner from advancing?

Sometimes you have to put the ball into play where it will advance the runner, and accept that your swing, at that pitch, will result in your being out. Put the ball on the ground towards 1st base, move the guy to 3rd (or score 1 run), and play for the longer game, instead of trying to get a hit every at-bat. Trust that people are getting on, and you will have another chance in a later inning to get your hit.

Didn't seem like we did that at all, and they did a lot. That made the difference in the series.
