2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

[Fratboy]

Okay chief, let's just get through the first. Stop nibbling and mow down these fuckers.

 

[donutogre]

Not sure he has that put away stuff tonight. Though maybe he is trying to hold in reserve.

He's throwing 97 with nice movement... but I don't know if he's got the location he needs.

 

[RedOctober3829]

No 1st inning woes tonight.

 

[Fratboy]

Not sure he has that put away stuff tonight. Though maybe he is trying to hold in reserve.

Or he was just feeling things out.

Clean first, but I worry about the pitch count.

I'm gonna say the Nationals do some damage in the 4th inning.

 

[jon abbey]

Thought he looked better that inning than he did in game 1.

 

[Al Zarilla]

“Popping home runs.” Buck is terrible.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Basehit!

 

[staz]

Isn't the point of having a dome to avoid inclement weather?

 

[durandal1707]

Ump seems to be calling a good zone (so far).

 

[uncannymanny]

Jesus Howie is slow.

 

[sean1562]

damn way to blow that howie

 

[Al Zarilla]

Greinke is so smooth.

 

[donutogre]

Well that's a tough turn of events.

 

[jon abbey]

Greinke is so smooth.

Fantastic athlete, still a great fielder and hitter at 36.

 

[pokey_reese]

Few non-Boston sports things have made me happier than seeing Greinke get to start Game 7 of the World Series. That dude has earned this.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Frak me.

 

[shawnrbu]

Yuli!

 

[mauidano]

Damn, Gurriel got ALL of that from his shins. Launch angle.

 

[Al Zarilla]

That’ll give ya a pain in the neck.

 

[Fratboy]

Fuuuuuuuuuuck

 

[donutogre]

Sonofa...

 

[InsideTheParker]

I was proposing walking Gurriel because he scared me.

 

[shawnrbu]

Anybody warming?

 

[nolasoxfan]

Where tf was that last pitch ump?

 

[Wingack]

Anybody warming?

Nats may need to act quickly.

 

[sean1562]

max just hasnt been the same guy he was before his injury. when he is on he is the best pitcher in baseball but he hasnt had a truly dominant outing since like July.

edit: alright yes i did forget about the cardinals series. but he was medicore in the second half generally

 

[durandal1707]

Thanks for the gift.

 

[shawnrbu]

HR, single, single. Reverse the order and Astros have a 90% chance to win.

 

[InsideTheParker]

Anybody warming?

This is no longer a joke. Pitch seemed to lack movement.

 

[strek1]

LOL - Good ol bunting

 

[BigSoxFan]

Asking a catcher to bunt against struggling pitcher. Genius.

 

[S. H. Frog]

Yay bunting.

 

[staz]

Bunting. How can you not lay down a damn bunt?

 

[donutogre]

Nationals are very much in trouble here if they can't get out of the inning.

... wow that is a huge out right there.

 

[mauidano]

As good as a sac bunt.

 

[mauidano]

Max is missing a lot close with the FB.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Command isn't there yet for Max. Need to get by on guts and guile tonight.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

think you have to warm someone up.

 

[shawnrbu]

This is scary.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

that was VERY lucky.

 

[staz]

Benny!

 

[Van Everyman]

Gah

 

[Wingack]

OMG

 

[nolasoxfan]

Scherzer isn’t right. The Nats were lucky to only give up one.

 

[RedOctober3829]

Shades of Benny

 

[LogansDad]

OMG Soto, way to make my heart stop for a second.

 

[BigSoxFan]

Wow

 

[The Filthy One]

That was an adventure.

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Lucky to escape with only one run: Scherzer looks about as sharp as a crayon

 

[InsideTheParker]

Woah!
