    No, actually, it’s not the home run or even the walk and error before the home run. It’s the utterly, completely, disastrous offense.Yeah, there were no runs, so obviously that’s bad.
    But there were scarcely even any decent at bats. Let’s count them:Isaac Paredes fought through ten pitches to draw a walk in the second. Brandon Lowe also drew a walk lat
