Nats 2012 Regular Season Thread

[Lumbee09]

Zimmermann looked like he had another solid outing. He has been by far our most reliable pitcher this year.. it's too bad he isn't getting the run support.

Gained a game on the Braves. I'm hoping they go into one of their monthly slides where they lose 8 games in a row or something.

Game on! Let's go Nats!

 

[apachef4]

Lombo and Harper K on 6 pitches, Zim with a single up the middle. Zim on first with 2 outs for Morse.

 

[apachef4]

Morse grounds into the FC to end the inning.

 

[apachef4]

Gio throws 6 pitches in the 1st and gets 3 ground ball outs.

 

[apachef4]

Dickey pitches around a leadoff walk to LaRoche in the 2nd.

 

[apachef4]

Espinosa pulls LaRoche off the bag on a groundball by Hairston. E-6.

 

[apachef4]

Cedeno gets a 2 out single to drive in Hairston from 2nd. Cedeno thrown out at 2nd by Harper to end the inning. 1-0 Mets.

 

[Lumbee09]

Sigh... I always hate unearned runs. That's only Espinosa's 5th error of the season or something like that... so I can't hate on him too much. Especially since he's more used to throwing from 2nd than SS.

 

[apachef4]

Hey, Lumbee, how was the movie?

 

[apachef4]

Nats down 1-2-3 in the 3rd.

 

[Lumbee09]

Solid. But saw it in IMAX and got in line late. Ended up with shitty seat craning my neck the whole time. Barely missed a wild 10th inning last night.

Yep, it was nice to not be worried going into the bottom of the 10th. Most runs the Nats have scored in a single inning all season.

 

[Lumbee09]

A nice quick inning there. Should help Gio with his pitch count.

 

[apachef4]

Yep, 34 pitches through 3. Not too shabby.

 

[apachef4]

Rulebook double for Zim to leadoff the 4th. Nice.

 

[apachef4]

Up to Espinosa with 2 outs and Zim on 3rd.

 

[apachef4]

Danny comes through! Double past Wright down the left field line. 1-1, middle of the 4th.

 

[apachef4]

Gio's pitch counts per inning: 1st - 6, 2nd - 22, 3rd - 6, 4th - 5.
