I hate it when Washington plays around with the bullpen. I mean our bullpen is fantastic, but let a starter finish an inning when he's still got a decent pitch count... When Wash costs us the most is when he pulls our starters too early

You do realize your way didn't work. With runners on second and third there is more than one way to score. Should have bunted them over.

Again, a decision is right or wrong regardless of the outcome. Only shortsighted people judge a decision based only on the outcome. Letting a guy hitting .361 with risp swing away when our offense can't seem to bring runners home is the right call. Sometimes good decisions don't work.

Btw, the way the inning played out, your way wouldn't have worked either.

It's really become a damned if you do and damned if you don't with Wash for fans. That was not a bad decision to take him out with lefties coming up and only a 1 run game. He was not pulled early.

Will Cotts or Ross face Cano instead of Nathan/Soria/Scheppers?

Cotts threw great. A couple runs here would be great too.

Nathan will come back out tonight. Book it.
Wash will probably pitch him a hundred nights in a row if it's a 1 run game. >.<
I would feel much more comfortable with Soria out there to shut them down.

Nathan has been pretty damn shut down this year again.

Yeah, but could have changed the inning. SF, squeeze, past ball all score a run. Swinging from the heels gave us what so many times we get with men on. Nothing. If you only have one man who can drive in a run you are up a creek.
