5 Games that Screwed Us

[Orange602]

The Dbacks had no business losing these 5 games.

April 17th
Yankees 4 Dbacks 3 (Road game)
Dbacks led 3-0 with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th inning, Wade Miley and Tony Sipp then give up 3 runs. Hernandez gives up a solo shot in the bottom of the 8th.

May 1st
Giants 9 Dbacks 6 (Home game)
Dbacks led 6-4 through 7 innings, David Hernandez and Heath Bell proceed to give up 5 runs in the final 2 innings. Embarrassing home loss.

May 12th
Phillies 4 Dbacks 2 (Road game, 10 innings)
Dbacks led 2-0 going into the bottom of the 9th, Heath Bell gives up 2 runs. Matt Reynolds proceeds to give up 2 in the 10th.

July 1st
Mets 5 Dbacks 4 (Road game 13 innings)
Dbacks scored 3 runs in the first 2 innings, then go into offensive hibernation. Bullpen gives up 3 in the final 3 innings as the Mets force extras. The Dbacks take a 1 run lead in the 13th, but lose in the bottom of the inning.

July 28th
Padres 1 Dbacks 0 (Home game)
Corbin throws 8 innings of 1 run ball (giving up the run in the first inning), the Dbacks offense manages only 3 hits off of Tyson Ross.

The Dbacks would be 74-61 had they won these games.

Just as painful to read about those games as it was watching them.

No mention of the game in Colorado in April (idk the exact date) Late in the game we had RISP with 1 out and 2 batter struck out looking on questionable calls. We lost that game in extras.

May 21st? I considered listing that game, but I felt that we had a better chance to win these five games. If I had listed 10 games, then I would have included it.

Yep it was that game. I thought it was in April but I guess it was May.

Yeah I remember all of these games... and the sad part is there are probably another 5 we could add to this list.

There were 12 games that I was going include on this list, but I got depressed and stopped typing after 5.
