The Fickle Game of Baseball and Getting Patrick Corbin another Win
Patrick Corbin; snake bit as a long-time starting pitcher, but highly paid. Bittersweet, this game, sport, and business. The career itself of Mr. Corbin.
He has lost a lot since the World Series winning team of which he was a great contributor to their success in 2019. But it has been pretty rough since.
Tonight he had a 5-0 lead early and left up 5-3.
So, the Nats blew it in extra innings.
Ah, to get win 99, or 100. Taking many more YEARS than expected.
Tough go.
It was, however, a quality start, and Patrick much deserved the win. Great start, lamentable finish by his teammates. Once again. AGAIN.
