Nats 2014 Regular Season

[hokiehi21]

Curly W in the books, Nats blank the Brewers 3-0, holding them to 3 hits. Very impressive.

Zimmermann against his home state team for the series win tomorrow.

 

[hokiehi21]

Danny and Lobaton are a combined 0 for 18 this series. The bottom 3rd of the lineup is a giant black hole. Thank God Ramos will be back on Thursday.

Nats are 1-7 in extras, soon to be 1-8. How the hell does that happen with the best bullpen? Does our offense just swing for the fences every AB? That record is very disappointing.

 

[hokiehi21]

Zimmerman crushes a motherfucking 2-run tater in the top of the 16th!!!

[hokiehi21]

It's the Z-Man show in the 16th. Now he dives full out to rob a potential leadoff double.

Thats at least 4 web gems by the Nats tonight. Youre missin a classic apachef

 

[hokiehi21]

Curly W in the books. Nats win 4-2 in 16 innings and take the series. Strasburg on the bump for the sweep tomorrow.

Day game too, i bet we see a lot of bench guys starting on both teams, also need Stras to go at least 7, no pressure.

I saw the first 11. That was as deep as I could go and still function this morning. Glad RZim came through late, feels good to get an extra inning win for the first time in what feels like forever.

Oh, and props to Detwiler for his performance last night. He's been a punching bag all year, but it looks like he had a heck of a night.

I just watched the condensed game on mlb.tv (which, by the way, is badass). Looks like you were right, RZim had himself a hell of a 16th!

First extra inning win since the first game of the season at New York.

No doubt about it. Craziest thing was he literally threw no off speed pitches. 4 innings, 46 pitches, 46 fastballs. Boggles my mind how that can happen in the Major Leagues.

 

[hokiehi21]

Man we were SO close to this.

It's like real estate: location, location, location. And a pretty free-swinging Brew Crew. One of Det's biggest problems since he moved to the 'pen is his control. The Brewers don't let you throw many balls.

 

[hokiehi21]

Wow, 7-pitch first inning for Estrada. Not surprised they're swinging early but man i would love to see them get into the Brewers' tired bullpen

 

[hokiehi21]

Strasburg, why arent you Kershaw? Come on man this is the Brewers' B lineup.

33 pitches so far, only 4 outs. Bases loaded. Really need him to go 7 or 8 innings.

 

[hokiehi21]

Grand slam by their leadoff guy. Strasburg is no ace.

 

[apachef4]

Bad Stephen.

 

[Flambo Gus]

Let's go Crew. Salvage one of these games.

 

[hokiehi21]

That's mean, but Strasburg pisses me off even more than Gio, just because of his potential that he hasnt lived up to.

What happened to his 98-100 mph fastball? Why can he only top out at 94? His fastball gets rocked all the time.

 

[Flambo Gus]

Ahh... It seems this is a Nationals thread...
