The only solace I have in how awful our pen is, is that everyone else's is terrible too.

bad loss, rough way to lose a great winning streak.
Lol, “bad loss”. Like any loss is a good loss, especially coming off an 8 game winning streak.
Swarzak and Blevins are both just terrible. Hard to believe no one in AAA is better

It shouldn't as it is more a reference to losing to a struggling or bad team on a day you had chances to win. No fan will call any loss a good loss for obvious reasons, they wouldn't be a fan of that team if they did so. But we will tip our hat when a good team's ace pitches a gem against us.
I expected a let down this week with the crazy travel, I just thought it would be in Toronto or at home against Chicago. Hopefully we got our only loss this week out of the way.
We were due for a stinker like this. No other way to put it. During our 8 game streak we certainly had a few wins the other teams would call bad losses. So it evens out
Julio was great again today in the loss, too bad he rarely gets good run support this year compared to others.

Agree Swarzak has been not good lately but to blame the "BP" is way off base. Blame Swarzak not the whole BP.
Truthfully want to blame something, try 1-12 w/RISP!! Or blame all of our "big guns" going 0fer--Acuna, Freddie, JD, and Swanson. Combined 12 LOB
I didn't see anyone blame Snits for his inability to manage the BP.
Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......
And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.
High Flight
