There are a lot of simple explanations floating around, so here's mine. The team is simply played out. They have expended a ton of effort all season battling through injuries and playing in a ton of close games. That can wear a team down and I think we've been seeing that for the past month (especially after the big series against the Nats in August where we basically put them away). It's not about Fredi. It's not about physical conditioning. It's about having been through the wringer.
What Gomez did is a prime example of why I support pitchers throwing at batters (below the head, of course).
