Mine:  1st and 3rd or Bases loaded nobody out and my team does not score a single run.  

Number of times it happens?  At least once per day.  When other team has same situation, it is a minimum of 3 runs.  It has gotten to the point where if I have said situation, I am frustrated because I know the inning is lost.

I hate living this frustration daily.

What is your greatest frustration in bettting the sport of baseball?

Getting moosed in baseball is worse than any other sport. I think it's because runs can come and go so quickly. Sometimes you're comfortable with 2 runs other days five run swing suddenly changes your whole thinking and you adjust but then the game changes again. It's a girl.

Same as in every sport - Managers play to not lose instead of playing to win

How about when the umpires reverse a call in the 9th inning when your team gets the go ahead run in and reverse the call to a double play game over. for example blue jays

Managers letting a starter go out for the 6th or 7th when he's obviously spent. Starter promptly gives up a lead-off extra base hit then gets pulled: why the fcuk was he sent back out there if you pull him the moment the lead-off gets on, you fcuking morons.

When it goes into extra inning and you are holding the -1.5 RL card and your team is battling second with bases loaded and no outs.  A single shot just to drive the 3rd baseman in and calling it a day.  Your team wins by 1 but you lose on your -1.5 RL. 

Just like in football.  Get a TD but don't need to kick that extra point for the game is already won in OT.
