Nats 2014 Regular Season

Look at the line to get Werth's gnome!

At some point Bryce is going to have to realize that pitchers are going to pitch him away exclusively. They've been doing it all season, and he can't hit it. Even if he did, the way he's swinging at it he'll just roll over the ball and pull it to 2nd base. If he doesn't figure out how to drive the ball the other way instead of trying to pull everything, he will never reach his potential.

 

[apachef4]

We need a new 3rd base coach. That was an AWFUL send. There were no outs, and it wasn't close at the plate.

 

[hokiehi21]

The situational hitting on this team is horrendous and makes me cry at night

 

[hokiehi21]

Time to get Desi out of the 5-slot. Too streaky of a hitter to be in the middle. Kills a lot of rallies. .245/.298 OBP. Tied for 2nd in MLB in strikeouts with 133. :frown:

Pretty crappy game tonight - caught a lot of bad breaks and they made the key defensive plays tonight whereas we did not.

Desmond has to stop getting down 0-2 every count and Harper's swing looks terrible right now. He was lost tonight.

On the plus side... I got one of those gnomes!!

 

[hokiehi21]

Wut's this about? Can't handle the pressure of big home crowds?

 

[elocomotive]

Woooo!!! Espinosa hits his first home run since mid-May to take a 6-0 lead here.

How good is Doug Fister? Why'd the Tigers give him up again? We killed them in that trade. I joke a lot about who the Nats ace is, but if the Nats had a 1-game playoff tomorrow, i'd feel most comfortable with Fister starting.

 

[hokiehi21]

2-tater night for LaRoche!

 

[hokiehi21]

Curly Dub in the books, Nats rock the Mets 7-1 to even the series. Rubber game tomorrow afternoon (12:35), Jordan Zimmermann vs Jacob deGrom. Looking forward to seeing the impressive rookie pitch.

What a lovely problem to have.

Welp.. might need Zim to pitch a shutout

Desi hits a 2-run homer in the 2nd. He can give up 1 now.

 

[apachef4]

...and he does just that in the 3rd. Fuckin' Daniel Murphy.

 

[hokiehi21]

Time for the Nats to stop pitching to Daniel Murphy. Pitch around him to get to Wright and i'm 100% serious. Murphy is so damn good at hitting.

 

[hokiehi21]

Nats are seeing deGrom well. LaRoche with 2 doubles. Desi a homer and sharp single. Bryce just rocketed a ball right to GrandyMan.

 

[hokiehi21]

Murphy with another hit.

3 for 3 today, 8 for 11 this series

To be honest i dont remember the 3 outs he made, must have been liners right at someone.
