Yeah, strategical arguments aside, it was simply one of the worst games all year. Eickoff put us in a hole in the first three pitches, and was still XBH-prone even when going 6-8 batter stretches of pitching effectively. The offense stunk, the defense was worse, and it took one pitch for an aging PH to re-put the game out of reach when we got to the pen. After a while I was having trouble paying attention and/or caring ... but at least the pace of the game was slow and tedious.
