[Mistaken4193]

No Hitter through 7

Shildt needs to send some f bombs to the hitting coach at some point

 

[Mistaken4193]

Just the Braves fucking luck the Cardinals blew their offensive load in the 1st inning against us and can’t hit shit tonight. We are Fucking Cursed

Get em anibal

Wow...what a play by Zimmerman

 

[Mistaken4193]

There is always that 1 play in every no hitter....that was it.

Time to bring in a reliever. It was fun while it lasted. Sanchez was starting to lose his edge and you could tell against Edman.

 

[Cedrique]

It's like the Nationals watched a replay of the Braves in that game 5 against the Cardinals and said "let's just do the opposite of what they did"

Matthew McConaughey should do a Lincoln commercial and just say alright, alright, alright as he’s driving......

Unbelievable. I think most people were looking at this as the game the Nats would give up. It doesn’t get much easier on paper for the cards. Scherzer on five days rest and Daniel Hudson rejoining the nats. I think the Cards needed game 1 much more than the nationals did.

They did.

Dodgers and Nationals might have been the real NLCS.

I’m not counting the cardinals out yet. They got a lot of grit and seem to be good at coming back.

I'm not counting them out, either, but they had a lot of issues hitting against the Braves outside of 2 innings in that series. It was fine if the Braves pitching was better than anticipated but if its actually just the Cardinals being a bad hitting team than they really don't belong in the World Series against the Yanks or Astros.

Why make the defensive change when you’re down a run? Hindsight is 20/20.

they have done in previous series, why change strategies now.

 

[molsaniceman]

lets go cards tie this up

Meh, I seriously doubt the runner at third base doesn’t make it home on that play either. You are just looking for a scapegoat. The cards got outplayed in game 1. It wasn’t just 1 play or mismanagement.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Cards 1-37 so far this series.

 

[bksballer89]

Cards forgot how to hit?

 

[Yo Tee]

If Washington keeps pitching the way they are, this is gonna be a short series.

 

[Clayton]

Cards forgot how to hit?

They never knew how. They've been a bad hitting team all season.

Braves just had a couple of really terrible innings.

That being said, it almost seems like Washington scouted the Cardinals perfectly and we have no answer at all. Cardinals actually hit the Nationals fairly well in the regular season.
