GDT - Nationals @ Teh Champs 6/7/11

[ElJimador]

I don't mind it. Although, I'd like to see a bunt to move a runner from second to third with zero outs, and a squeeze occasionally.

Agreed. I wouldn't have taken the bat out of Torres' hands there either. Just didn't work out.

Sanchez bloop, Huff blast, three K's by Wilson, we go home happy. Who's with me?

not Sanchez....

 

[Stokes1931]

Well, the numbers say it's generally bad to give up an out to do that. But super late in a close game like this, for 1 run, it might be a good idea. And if the batter is scuffling, even more so.

But again, I have to refer to the math: Bochy rings = 1. Mine = 0.

I have several rings, actually. None having to do with sports, however.

I should add the qualifier "when you need one run".

 

[msgkings322]

Creative managing there with the two bunts...

 

[filosofy29]

Hindsight 20/20 here, but why not bunt Torres there? Probably wouldn't have made a difference, but feck. 9th inning comeback, let's roll!

 

[gp956]

yep, looks like up and in should work against Morse. Lets see if they go back there.

 

[calsnowskier]

Do we tie it here, or win?

 

[gp956]

....low and away to induce the line drive DP works too.

 

[msgkings322]

NOICE!

Win or lose here, another fucking awesome display from the pen. Granted, the Nats don't hit much, but still...what is that, 13 scoreless innings from the pen in the 2 games?

Calm down Liberace...

MSGs wife is not here...

 

[msgkings322]

Do we tie it here, or win?

Easy answer: whatever is more torturous. So, tie, and a win in the 12th.

Outstanding. Rep.

Cain will, I'll bet on that.

Okay, let's go Huff!!!

 

[ElJimador]

Not what I had in mind.

 

[msgkings322]

Huff is so fucked up lately. Jeebus.

 

[gp956]

Lets go Nate

 

[filosofy29]

Huff sure knocked the shit outta that one. Cmon Late Nate.

 

[ElJimador]

Nate with a bloop, Rowand with a blast.

Hey, why not?

 

[Stokes1931]

1-0 count and Huff swings at a ball a foot outside?
