Phew...

Soriano coming in now. MW knows we can't lose this game, right?

 

[apachef4]

Soriano gets a 1st pitch fly out to left. It feels like the Giants got a lot more than 1 run that inning.

 

[hokiehi21]

how many teams lose a postseason series on a wild pitch? any? just a DC thing? thats so fucked up

 

[apachef4]

Top of the order due up for the Nats in the 8th. If you can't do it now, fellas, you don't deserve it.

We're lucky they didn't.

C'mon Nats!!! Believe!!!

 

[apachef4]

Top of the order hits 3 lazy fly balls in the 8th. Very un-clutch.

 

[hokiehi21]

CHOKE JOB. this is up there with Caps/Habs round 1.

 

[apachef4]

Soriano starting the 8th.

LaRoche or Desi HAVE to get on base for Harper.

Relatedly, why in the hell would you actually pitch to Harper?

Hockey and baseball are both brutal in the playoffs. If we lose, you have 3 of the best 4 teams in baseball out in the first round. It happens.

Game ain't over yet though...

 

[hokiehi21]

i'm so glad Soriano is still out there. that makes so much sense

 

[apachef4]

 

[hokiehi21]

oh hey he falls behind 3-1 and gives up a hit. i am so surprised

 

[apachef4]

Leadoff single, of course. Because Soriano can't pitch anymore. Everyone knows this but Matt Williams.

 

[hokiehi21]

seriously, this is a fireable offense for Matt Williams. this is absurd

 

[apachef4]

He survives it. LaRoche, Desi and Harper to save the season. Now or never.

 

[elocomotive]

Deeeeeeeep breath....
