Natstown is back.Welp, the Nats look much more like the 12 games below.500 team than the 8 straight postseason wins team.
Just have to give you major props for this post.Fuck, this really is 1986 redux isn't it?
* Scrappy upstart team that really wasn't expected to make it to the World Series.
* A powerhouse at its peak
Road team wins the first game by one run.
Road team wins game two by a blowout.
FUUUUUUUUUCK.
When Rodney retires, he's got a future as a pitch man for a gas can company.Rodney was their main setup guy maybe a month ago, it's in large part because Hudson and Rainey jumped him that WAS made it this far.
That GS was so huge, now HOU can probably stay away from Osuna tonight, maybe Smith too although he already warmed up.
Also a month in the winter dedicated to learning better baserunning instincts, don't recall a young potential star with such bad instincts on the basepaths.Tucker could use a hamburger

Prom nightnow the Nats are crushing balls and they're finding gloves.
That was MoDidn’t Frank Howard hit one to the Citgo sign once.
It would help him if he is throwing to Suzuki (who reportedly will be a gametime decision after getting hurt in game 3):Scherzer is gonna nut the fuck up.
I'm dumb and can't pull out the data...It would help him if he is throwing to Suzuki (who reportedly will be a gametime decision after getting hurt in game 3):
16 games with Suzuki this year, he had a 2.08 ERA and 12 games with Gomes, he had a 4.09 ERA (regular season stats only).
I don't know how to easily see game by game without looking at each box score, but the combined lines are near the bottom here.I'm dumb and can't pull out the data...
How many of the 12 games with Gomes are bad starts?
I mean to ask, are the numbers skewed by a disaster start or two, or is he consistently bad when Gomes is catching?
That does seem substantial, but even Pedro got bombed in a game or two.I don't know how to easily see game by game without looking at each box score, but the combined lines are near the bottom here.

.578 OPS allowed in 394 PAs with Suzuki catching, .713 OPS allowed in 299 PAs with Gomes catching, that seems substantial.
