2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

[phrenile]

game?

Ongoing.

 

[canderson]

This is pretty remarkable.

 

[strek1]

I find it extremely amusing that the MFY couldn't couldn't score off Cole but The Nats can

 

[Soxy]

Soto's going to be a total fucking monster huh?

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Wow.

 

[Ale Xander]

Cole is actually mortal after all.

He sucks. Send him back to AAA


/hot take

 

[nolasoxfan]

Let’s go you Nats!

 

[sean1562]

opposite field again from the 20 year old

 

[Ale Xander]

Soto's going to be a total fucking monster huh?

wrong tense

 

[gedman211]

holy shit

 

[mikeot]

come on juan soto become a legend

Say hey!

 

[BornToRun]

Fuckin’ A.

 

[uncannymanny]

Houston wins 2-5!

 

[InsideTheParker]

Well, well, well. Don't bother predicting the future, folks. This is lovely, so far.

 

[JCizzle]

Didn't expect this, but a long way to go!

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

But wait. I was told the Nats were doomed. False advertising!

 

[mauidano]

Is it me or did Brantley give up on the ball? He could have caught that.

 

[uncannymanny]

Lucked out there.

 

[mauidano]

Great catch.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Correa suspends time and gravity to snag that one. Wow.

 

[rajendra82]

That was bad defense by Astros.

 

[Harry Hooper]

Brantley could be doing a number of things differently tonight.

 

[E5 Yaz]

And the mortal Cole shuffles off after surrendering the lead

 

[gedman211]

Well my week just got more fun

 

[rajendra82]

That was bad defense by Astros.

I was speaking about Brantley. Bad delay.

 

[Ale Xander]

I find it extremely amusing that the MFY couldn't couldn't score off Cole but The Nats can

I find it extremely amusing that the MFY didn't sign Soto.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Soto's going to be a total fucking monster huh?

He's the NL's Devers

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Damn that was some play by Correa . But that ball was smoked too.

 

[jon abbey]

Not sure how either of these teams expect to win with this level of SP.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

But wait. I was told the Nats were doomed. False advertising!

That's a wrap. See ya in Fort Meyers

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

And the mortal Cole shuffles off after surrendering the lead

You are a regular Ronald Raygun

 

[jon abbey]

I find it extremely amusing that the MFY didn't sign Soto.

They were waiting for Jasson Dominguez.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Before tonight, Cole had given up 5 ER in his last 59 innings.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

That's a wrap. See ya in Fort Meyers

Au contraire. I am banned from visiting Florida. I am prevented from discussing reasons why. But your point is taken. The Astros are winning this thing going away.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

They were waiting for Jasson Dominguez.

Is he as good as Greg Bird?

 

[jon abbey]

He's the NL's Devers

Two years younger than Devers and Gleyber, one year younger than Acuna, he is ridiculous.

 

[patoaflac]

They were waiting for Jasson Dominguez.

Continue waiting.........

 

[sean1562]

corbin coming out of the pen? why?

 

[Ale Xander]

wow going to Corbin up 3 with a week's worth of rest for the BP. No confidence in Sanchez, or is he targeted for tomorrow?

 

[uncannymanny]

Two years younger than Devers and Gleyber, one year younger than Acuna, he is ridiculous.

Omg

 

[patoaflac]

Scherzer has a high pitch count and in theory Nats bullpen is not good, but if the Stros continue to miss scoring chances, Nats could pull the game.

53 minutes ago.

 

[uncannymanny]

Most Vanishing Player

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Max Scherzer is straight-up mowing pricks DOWN!

 

[Ale Xander]

They were waiting for Jasson Dominguez.

I remember when they were greedy enough to get both.

 

[jon abbey]

wow going to Corbin up 3 with a week's worth of rest for the BP. No confidence in Sanchez, or is he targeted for tomorrow?

Either way they would be giving away their biggest edge in this series, which is that they have four starters and HOU only has 3.

 

[rajendra82]

corbin coming out of the pen? why?

Dave Martinez called Cora before the WS.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

corbin coming out of the pen? why?

Because that is where he is watching the game, silly.

 

[jon abbey]

I remember when they were greedy enough to get both.

Soto didn't even cost much, he wasn't super highly regarded. Then he signed and went crazy.

 

[Bob Montgomerys Helmet Hat]

Either way they would be giving away their biggest edge in this series, which is that they have four starters and HOU only has 3.

Need to do everything they can to steal this game. If that's Corbin for a couple innings, so be it.

 

[DennyDoyle'sBoil]

Soto is one day short of two years younger than Devers.

I wonder if they ever played together. I think they are from different towns and I know there’s like 10 million people on the island, but, wow, that’s two pretty amazing and similar lefty hitters who were both MLB ready very young.

Edit: I see I am a bit late on Soto.
