Not really. Yeah, no kidding; the game was still easily winnable after the 8th. Winning by one run or eight is the same end result. So scoring a couple runs when they had 1st and 3rd with one out in the seventh or bases loaded with no outs in the eighth with 1-2-3 in the order coming up wouldn't have mattered? Of course not, but to say it "all goes back to" them not scoring in those situations isn't accurate; a game is still overwhelmingly in the favor of the team leading, even just by one run, when the final half inning comes up. I was frustrated as hell when they didn't add on, but they still should have walked away with a win being up 5-4.
