How bad is the Nats pen? Is Strasburg pitching still?

nats pen is god awful. doolittle is alright but not a guarantee

 

[Pablo's TB Lover]

That fanbase is LOSING THEIR SHIT! Saw 10 beers in the air during the bleacher shot lol.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Cannot let that ball by you...oh well

I mean, the kid makes that play 999/1,000 times or else he doesn't even sniff the roster, let alone a play-in game. He is young but will now have that as a stain on the rest of his career. Ugh.

 

[Just a bit outside]

How bad is the Nats pen? Is Strasburg pitching still?

Removed for Taylor. Probably Doolittle?

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

You know, the single elimination wild card play-in is a pretty great idea.

 

[Ale Xander]

Second guessing going to Hader in the 8th?

 

[DeadlySplitter]

like I said this past weekend, Hader just hasn't been quite as dominant.

 

[rymflaherty]

Whoa!

Only reason I wanted the out there was for DFS purposes, as that just cost me quite a bit of money. But that was quite the inning from the Nats.

 

[Seabass]

Talking shit as you’re tagged out has got to feel incredible

 

[Ale Xander]

Removed for Taylor. Probably Doolittle?

Eliza?

 

[BaseballJones]

Why go with Hudson here? Strasburg was dominant.

Oh duh punch hit for....

 

[Remagellan]

They could use Corbin to close.

 

[sean1562]

Why go with Hudson here? Strasburg was dominant.

Oh duh punch hit for....

taylor PH for him

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

You know, the single elimination wild card play-in is a pretty great idea.

Agreed. Its fantastic.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why go with Hudson here? Strasburg was dominant.

Oh duh punch hit for....

Saving for game 2 probably

and he was PH for

So so good - so rare. Don’t know if I’ve ever seen that.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Wish Piniella had played RF like that in 1978.

 

[Ale Xander]

Can Cain still run?

 

[sean1562]

this pen is terrible. would be a classic nats game to catch up in the bottom of the eight and blow it in the ninth

 

[jon abbey]

Rooting for the Nats in this one hard, but if you are using Daniel Hudson up by 1 in the 9th of a single elimination, not sure you deserve to advance.

Two outs though!!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Daniel Hudson was a career mediocrity until this season. Its staggering how good he has been for the Nats down the stretch.

 

[jon abbey]

Can Cain still run?

He is playing with a couple of leg injuries, if that's what you mean, he was a gametime decision.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Milwaukee must spend a fortune in hair conditioner.

 

[Ale Xander]

Damn

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Gamel hit that on the screws...if only he pulled it.

 

[strek1]

MIL sure gacked the hell out of that game.

 

[jon abbey]

Heh, Robles started celebrating before he caught that, got to love kids.

Congrats, Nats Town!!

 

[sean1562]

juan soto is the hero!

 

[canderson]

Congrats NatsTown!

Enjoy losing in 4 to LA though.

Edit: Forgot it was best of 5.

 

[thehitcat]

Wow just wow tough way for Milwaukee to go out but happy for the Nats.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

This game was great. It had everything. Congrats Nattitude fans!

 

[TomBrunansky23]

If/when the Sox get into one of these things we are all going to be basket cases

 

[Ale Xander]

Brewers fans never gonna forget tonight.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

that's a game-tying double if hit to a different spot. oof

 

[Sam Ray Not]

That’s what you get for replacing Pom with Hader.

 

[TheDivision]

Unbelievable and absolute dejection for Milwaukee. Feel bad for Grisham.

 

[Mugsy's Jock]

Hader is 700 times more culpable for that loss than that right fielder.

 

[Ale Xander]

Congrats NatsTown!

Enjoy losing in 5 to LA though.

In 2 1/2

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Unbelievable and absolute dejection for Milwaukee. Feel bad for Grisham.

Yeah and I agree with Darling, that ball took a shitty hop on him at the last second.

 

[sean1562]

probably would have won with yelich

 

[jon abbey]

If/when the Sox get into one of these things we are all going to be basket cases

They're the worst if it's your team, just the worst.

 

[BigSoxFan]

A Yelich-less Brewers team didn’t excite me much. Go Nats.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Lost in all this was Zimmerman fighting for that bloop. Hell of an AB and good for him.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Hey, I’ll get some October baseball after all. *sigh*

 

[SoxinSeattle]

Didn't Hader also suck last year in the playoffs?

 

[Seabass]

Didn't Hader also suck last year in the playoffs?

Couldn’t have happened to a better guy.

 

[ernieshore]

Yeah and I agree with Darling, that ball took a shitty hop on him at the last second.

Yep. Looks like it kicks to his right as he’s running hard to get to the line it’s hit on.

 

[Ale Xander]

Hader is 700 times more culpable for that loss than that right fielder.

With a capable play in RF, it goes extras, where the Brew Crew have advantage in RP

 

[santadevil]

Yeah and I agree with Darling, that ball took a shitty hop on him at the last second.

Ya, looking at it again, something must've happened
Heat of the moment too, trying to throw out the tying run. Just a touch ahead of himself

 

[RedOctober3829]

Baseball, man.
