Not enough hits in a row

It's tough sometimes to look at the box score and see a team winning even though they only had 1 more hit. Sometimes the winning team has less hits, this happends when a team does a number of things (draw more base on balls (Walk), steal more bases, sacrificed more runners into scoring position/home etc...). It is really hard to win a baseball game however when you don't score any runs at all. We had enough hits to put up a couple of runs, they just happened to come when there were no runners on base. It is also tough to continue pitching without the lead for the whole game. Your job is to try not to make the come back any harder for the offense, yet tonight the offense didn't produce anything. With the weather being the way it has been for the past few days no one is out of any game at any time. Your mentality going into a game has to be the same whether it is 90 degrees and sunny or 60 degrees and raining. This isn't always easy, sometimes you field a ground ball that is soaking wet, or you slip on the dirt when you are rounding a base! Yet you can't complain because both teams have to play on the same field.
