It’s the difference between winning 5 consecutive series and losing 3 of their last 4 games.

Good teams don’t lose 3 of 4.

Sure they do.

This is just nonsense.

Gallen vs Flaherty is a guaranteed loss if there ever was one.

Guess there never was one.

So glad we avoided another sweep.

Good teams lose 3 of 4 all the time. Find me a world series winner that didn't lose 3 of 4 at some point. Most of them probably did it multiple times in their championship season.

Dodgers are a bad team man.

And the Braves, they've lost four games in a row this year...more than once.

The 83  Orioles had two separate seven game losing streaks.  They turned out ok.

Glad we won our 5th consecutive series instead of losing 3 of last 4. Must win game, accomplished.

You can thank me for the reverse jinx. Nailed it.

Well, we already lost 6 of 7 back in June, so I guess we’re terrible.  

I’d venture a guess that there has almost never been a team that didn’t lose 3 of 4 somewhere along the way.  This statement is really ridiculous.

Naahh, you're not a reverse-jinx type of guy (but it doesn't matter !)

The 2001 Mariners lost 4 in a row at one point, including getting swept by Oakland.

The 1998 Yankees started their season 1–4 and got outscored 36–15 in the process. They lost four out of five from July 16–20, four in a row from August 23–26, four out of five from September 2–7, and five out of six from September 11–16. They finished with 114 wins, a +309 run differential, and a World Series title.
