Its not the losing money that i'm pissed. Its how the game turned its course. Here's why i'm really dont get it.
You are a professional player. You makes million dollar just to throw the ball. We all human and mistake happens and i get that. But, last night situation was difference. Score was 2-5. 1st and 2nd bases were loaded. Romo managed to strike twice which give 0-2 count. Now, if in this situation, anybody would know the next shot would be. I dont care if your manager tell u to strike him out or not, but you would throw anywhere NOT to let ur opponent hit the ball since its more likely he will hit a sacrifice shot to score when they have zero out... But no, he threw right smack down the center to give a guy a single with 2 runs when you have zero ball. Thats what get me. Sorry for the legnthy and misspelling words.

Zobrist hit a 3-1 pitch off Romo. It was a double.
If you've ever played baseball at any level, you would know its not that easy. At this level everyone can play. The Giants have had an awful bullpen for months, so you shouldn't have been surprised at all with the outcome.
Bryant hits a ball just out of the reach of Crawford. Lopez walks Rizzo, that was the inexcusable one. Romo had no command whatsoever, ended up throwing a meatball that Zobrist hammered. Contreras bounces one up the middle for a hit. Then when Hayward gives them a gift for a DP, Crawford throws it away. Make that play and you are tied and still have a shot. Baez hits soft liner for a hit and its game over.
Pressure makes people do things they don't normally do. Lopez usually very good but he couldn't throw a strike. Rizzo bailed him out on the second strike, that was a ball too. Lopez was definitely gripping, all of them were. You could see it in body language and performance. Crawford is a Gold Glove caliber SS. He straight yanked that throw to first. He was feeling the pressure to make a play, gripped too hard and yanked it. They are humans, not machines. Sometimes people forget that.
