Game Thread: 8/16 Nats @ Champs

[tzill]

as expected a struggle the first time through the order against Ross. Let's see how we do in the fourth inning.

 

[1phlapdown]

95mph sinker, and only g/o or SO so far.

 

[Stokes1931]

Nothing happening in the game. Giant bats are slumbering. Time for a wakeup call.

 

[ColinCoby]

A hit!

Let's see how Ross does in the stretch.

 

[ColinCoby]

Loud contact in this inning!

1-0

So far, so good.

That ball was CRUSHED by Pence! Wow!

3-0

 

[SFGRTB]

Pence then Craw annihilated those balls!

 

[ColinCoby]

Ross has been hanging that br

Pence then Craw annihilated those balls!

Pence swings like I do when I play whiffle ball.

Except that he makes loud contact.

 

[ColinCoby]

Throw one in the dirt Bum. (trying to sound like gp)

 

[tzill]

As expected, a much better second time through the lineup.

 

[ColinCoby]

What was more impressive, Pence's blast or Craw's play on the ball in the hole?

 

[Stokes1931]

Chubs lose. Mutts lose.

 

[SFGRTB]

OUTSTANDING THROW! B-Craw!

 

[ColinCoby]

It will be interesting to see if Bum bunts here.

He could hit a hanging breaking ball as far as Pence did.


Edit: and there it was!!

Well, he just missed the hanger, but he still hit that one hard.

 

[ColinCoby]

Ross on the ropes.

I'll actually be surprised if he makes it out of this inning.

 

[moxie]

Wow, does Kelby have some wheels!!

 

[SFGRTB]

The Nats' starting pitching this series has been about as good as the Giants' last weekend in Chicago.

Question: how long until our guy Matt Williams is given the boot?
