With that being said, I’d like to turn to the words of the sage Emmit Smith.

“Don’t quit. Don’t even quit.”

All they need is Tampa for the full AL East collection.

My point

is that while we needed to score runs, we needed to score runs with base hits and walks to have base runners on continually.
