Nats 2014 Regular Season

[apachef4]

Welp. At least Nats picked a good night for a clown show - little league baseball play. They werent gonna score tonight anyway

The whole inning was bad. From Fister going 3-0 to Kershaw, to the Harper throw, to the Rendon decision to not tag the guy running at him, to the defensive positioning, to the Desi throw. Should never have given up 1 run that inning, much less two.

To get to Kemp?

Yes. A-Gon is an RBI machine. And a lefty.

 

[apachef4]

Maybe all the running on the basepaths tired Kershaw out. I seriously doubt it, but maybe...

Yup. And the previous inning, where Fister bobbled the bunt. Got lucky to throw Kemp out at home. Just a clown show game defensively. But like i said, get it out of their system on a Kershaw start, they're not gonna get a run anyway.

Ouch, Uribe 2-run homer puts the Dodgers up 4-0. I think I shall go to bed now.

Zim for the series win tomorrow? Can't remember the last series win Nats had in this park. Will look it up later

Last time Nats won a series in Dodger Stadium: 2005

Three of the last four years Nats won the 1st game of the series, still wound up losing. Nats won the 1st game this year..

 

[hokiehi21]

Last game of the year outside of the NL East. I'll have more on that in the next series thread. But for now, we gotta win this game. It's Frias' 1st major-league start.

Hanley Ramirez - 9 for 20 lifetime off Zimmermann.

 

[hokiehi21]

Desi is 1-for-10 this series. Lotta 1st-pitch outs. Not going to cut it. Bryce should have batted cleanup.

This is not last years Han Ram or the Florida Marlin pre Miami Marlin Han Ram. This is the Han Ram the Marlins traded for good reason. Bad glove, no situational hitting and rarely cares. You guys will be fine. The Dodgers are a hot mess if Kershaw or Grienke are not on the mound.

Frias has 4 scoreless innings. Breezing thru Nats lineup easily.

Dodger stadium day game, many a unproven or crap pitcher has succeeded during a day game at Chavez Ravine. Senators need to keep it close and then pounce on our dogs*t bullpen.

This is kinda depressing. Nats had a better chance of scoring against Kershaw than they do against this dude making his 1st career start. Nats cant get out of LA fast enough.

It's not easy hitting a guy making his first career start. You don't know his tendencies and little scouting available. He got pulled and this is where Donnie Dumb Dumb "Sends in the Clowns" aka the 2014 Dodger bullpen.

 

[hokiehi21]

I'm shocked they pulled him. Looked to me Frias was getting stronger as the game went on, retiring the last 10 Nats.

He's young, pitch count issue. Standard for how the Dodgers treat their young pitchers. JP Howell is in right now and he has not been sharp of late.

I think you're trying to get my hopes up. I'm expecting 3 scoreless innings from your bullpen

Ha, I'm really not. The Dodgers are 19-4 when Kershaw starts, so now you know why they are in first place. This team is mediocre otherwise.

 

[hokiehi21]

Wow Span what a catch. Game saver. Robs Hanley of a leadoff double.

 

[hokiehi21]

Of course Crawford doubles right after. Time to pull Zim
