"It’s the same thing that kind of got us last year, and why we didn’t maybe move on. Because we couldn’t close games out both pitching and defense-wise. We need to get better at that and learn from our mistakes."

Braves 6, Nationals 4: Bullpen blows late lead, Zim's poor throw did 'em in (video here).
Fair or not, from now until they win something the Game 5 ghosts will come out to haunt Nationals Park each and every time the bullpen implodes.
At least this time Davey didn't throw his closer under the bus:
"We’re just not locating the ball. We’re all over the place. I’ve got to take responsibility. Probably overusing them or something. ...Det’s pitched two great ballgames and come out with nothing. I feel real bad about that."

Good news: 152 games left. Go get 'em today...
