MLB Daily Thread: 10/13/17 You know what Day it is... Nats Blow it, Brady's Commercial WTF

[The Q]

Death
Taxes
Nats choking in october.

 

[The Q]

Seems like the Umps screwed the Nats though

They did.

 

[The Q]

Also - Nationals blow it big time! Gio Gonzalez didn't have it at all.. Baker should have removed Gio earlier..

Schezer yikes!

Some serious bad luck in there.

Max Scherzer's unbelievable, impossible, unprecedented loss

plus they don't mention how Rendon wasn't even ready to field when Russell hit that routine ground ball

Wish I actually saw the collapse so I would know what you meant

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

I went to bed early but thought that Cubs lineup sucks

Gio is a real shit bag

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Yanks Cubs would be awesome

He was totally flat footed when Russell hit the ball. Was not in an athletic stance.

I haven't skipped a WS since the subway series.

I would skip that one.

Cubs don't deserve to even still be alive.

I just don't see how the Cubs beat the Dodgers 4 of 7 with that terrible bullpen they have

sounds about right

well people were counting the Cubs and Yankees out sooo

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Girardi and the Yanks must see something in Sonny Gray that they really dont like

Game 4 starter, and by time we get to Game 4, I bet he doesnt even get that start depending on how the series stands

 

[anotheridiot]

They did.

I dont know if they messed it up. Its not the first time Weiters has been hit this series, he sets up too close. Its part of his game making players uncomfortable. We also see why he was not pursued as a free agent. It cost them. Baker needs to step down and not force the Nationals to fire him.

Yea I was pretty stunned by that. I thought he was a lock for a game in Houston this weekend. I do expect him to make the game 4 start though unless they're down 3-0.

Be interesting.....If they are down 2-1 and Tanaka looks great tonight, I could see them go with Tanaka, but I think something is up....CC Getting Game 3 is surprising considering this Houston lineup is so RH hitting heavy

Ill add this....Sonny Gray is known to have crazy movement on his pitches, a lot of stuff that lands in the dirt....I wonder if Sanchez' problems behind the dish contribute to the decision

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

The nats are a fucking embarrassment

See, I don't get this. It's as if people think they lost a 5-game series to an inferior team.

Heading into the postseason, I felt as if the Cubs were the best team in the NL.

 

[SlinkyRedfoot]

Fvck the Cubs.

Go Dodgers

Yeah, much like the ALCS, I'm having a hell of a time deciding on my rooting interest.

Anthony Rizzo bothers me; can't really root for him. On the other hand, it's against my nature to root for a Goliath.

In the AL, Dallas Keuchel annoys the shit out of me and I dislike Verlander, but again, how can I root for the fucking Yankees? I will say, though, that since the Yankees beat the Indians, I hope they dismantle the Astros so that everyone sees how good they really are. I'm not sure there's much distinction in overall talent between the Astros, Indians or Yankees this year.

It's not that. It is more about the consistent losing in this round and almost always at home in a deciding game 5. Have to get over the hump eventually

I find myself feeling overconfident in this series, after feeling we had no shot at the tribe

I just keep thinking back to KLuber/Carrasco/Bauer/Miller/Shaw/Joe Smith/Allen

And I look at Houston and see none of those guys, and thin the Yankees could really destroy some baseballs this series
