Series Thread: San Francisco Giants vs. Washington Nationals

[podsox]

best 3 abs came in the 18th (span, ronden and werth) if they were they were that focused in the rest of the extras they would've won

Nats fans, don't get too down. No one knows more than the Giants tat his thing ain't over yet...

 

[calsnowskier]

No dog in this race, but was fun as hell to watch!

Welcome to NL baseball.

Give me an incredible 2-1 game over an 8-6 game any day if the week (heart attacks aside, of course)

I feel like the Giants don't get enough respect. If this was basketball, they'd be getting 'favorite' treatment

It's over. It was over after SF won game 1. Now it's a sweep

It's going to be tough, but I still gotta hope!

Umm Dodgers Cards yesterday?

But yeah that's the beauty of the AL it can do both. NL only has a few teams.

That was my feeling in '12.

SOOO glad I was wrong.

Of course, I hope you are right here, but take it from me. It can happen.

The Dh isn't baseball but it certainly makes the game more exciting. Pitchers are too specialized today sadly

I feel confidant our "next day's starting pitcher", but I would guess that Dodger fans felt confident yesterday as well.

I LOVE the strategy that is implemented with the pitcher having to hit. Bochy letting Petit hit may have been the game-winning decision in his game.

The playoffs are just a shit-ton of short sample size crazy. All outcomes still in play.

I hate the DH, but it will never go away. If anything, the NL will adopt it before the AL drops it. The DH adds an extra hitter, which leads to more runs in the AL game, but I don't agree that it makes the game more exciting. I enjoy the managerial moves in an NL game. Also, when you do have a pitcher who can actually hit (like Bumgarner), it's exciting and you want to keep that advantage over the other team.

And go Cards!!!

Royals series has been great.

Just cause I am Tiger don't mean we don't watch. My NL teams as a child was Braves and Cubs... Only because you could always watch them.

I think those still there at the end of the game with tickets for another series game (for either team} should have gotten money back and be able to go to another game for free. They sat through 2 games in 1 game.

Shouldn't it be the opposite? They got 2 games for the price of one, they should have to pay more!

Since the DH is like an old folks home for aging sluggers, the union will never let it go. Nor will owners.

I can't fucking stand the Nats, but I think Maddie Bumfarter is due for a stinker.....but in the event he isn't, and the Gigantes go on to sweep...Kudos, and good luck in the NLCS.

Would be totally epic should it end up being the Dodgers & Giants because I really don't care for the Cards either.

They're also known for stupid team names (Bullets, Wizards , 'Nats', Senators, Redskins) and logos (Walgreens Nationals) and slogans ('Nattitude'? Really?)
