Nats 2014 Regular Season

[apachef4]

Soriano in to pitch the 9th with a 4 run lead. Simmons immediately hits a double.

 

[apachef4]

And JUp doubles to bring home Simmons. 4-1 Nats.

 

[elocomotive]

Soriano is done. Middle relief only from here on out.

I'm actually glad he's cracked the last couple months because better to know now than trusting him in the playoffs.

 

[elocomotive]

Time for the hook...

 

[apachef4]

Soriano gets 2 outs, gives up 2 hits and a walk. Storen in to try and close it out. Please put Soriano at the end of the bench, Matty. If it's a 7 run lead either way, go ahead and bring him in. Otherwise, just leave him in the 'pen.

 

[elocomotive]

Ugh... c'mon guys. Finish it off.

Wild pitch gets the tying run to 2nd...

I could not feel more uneasy coasting to home field advantage if I was a Caps fan....

:sick:

Man, can't believe Desmond got that throw there in time.

Why they continue to put Soriano in these positions is unbelievable to me. I get that a 4 run lead is supposed to be "low leverage", but has he not seen Soriano pitch lately? He can give up 4 in about 2 minutes. Let's clinch the division and then go for home field advantage. If you need to "prove" yourself for the post season roster now, you've waited too damn long.

Oh come on... this is probably a more complete baseball team than the Caps have ever had as a hockey team.

Strasburg gets a well deserved win tonight. He even had the game winning rbi!

Yeah, Strassy is heating up at the right time. Aside from some issues in the bullpen, lots of parts of this team getting better at the right time.

I don't really think there are many issues with the bullpen, other than Soriano. Sure, they all struggled a bit a few weeks ago, but they seem to have righted the ship lately.

2009-10 baby. That team was legit!

At least we have a ton of cap sp.....fuck.

We do lead the league in locker room guys, grit, intangibles, glass groins and guys named Brooks.

Absolutely and he was dealing!

 

[Forty_Sixand2]

My wife is an eagles fan so I had to flip back and forth tonight. Why did Bryce leave in the 4th? Did they ever say?

Oh yeah, but this team is more well rounded. Also, baseball players have 1/2 the teams and 1/2 the randomness of hockey playoffs!

Lol. Hard to believe our once glass groin might now be the best goalie in the league.

Well, not hard to believe... just... typical of our luck.

He was feeling light headed, so they pulled him. They've had the flu bug running through the locker room lately.

Soriano should not be on the NLDS roster
