Offense went 22 up, 22 down to end the game.

Started the game going 12 up and 12 down.

As bad as Snit was today with his pitching management, the fact that the game got to the 14 is by and large on the offense.

They fucking Sucked...but we had the lead with our Starter rolling and Snit unexplainably took him out. And then not to use your Horses in Extras is unforgivable. If the gNats beat Winkler or Viz then thats fine but Fucking Socoloshit is not.

Oh without a doubt, Snit's pitching management was God awful today.

I was hoping him letting finish off last night's game was a sign that he had learned to stay with the hot hand unless the pitch count really gets up there, and even then, I only worry about pitch count for young guys, not a veteran like McCarthy.

McCarthy had retired 8 straight. Had struck out 7 with 0 walks, and only had 83 pitches, and the only runs he allowed was on a home run where Michael Taylor dropped to a knee, closed his eyes, swung hard and got lucky, and his spot didn't come up in the lineup.

No reason at all for McCarthy to not go out for the 7th.

I agree.

But even still, you can't end the game going 22 up, 22 down on offense.

Also the decision to take out Dansby...Dansby would have gotten to Scherzers hit. And then PH Bourjos for Flaherty....Just awful.

But I wonder If Washington finishes their perfect game they got going tommorow??

 

[Chewbaccer]

They warmed up was his excuse? So fucking what?

And a tough inning on Thursday for Winkler? It was a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.

Bullshit excuses.

You play to win the game. Worry about tomorrow when it gets here.

If we win today, losing tomorrow's game isn't that big of a deal.

Now we have to win tomorrow to just stay in first.

Jeremy Hellickson gives us trouble, and we have zero momentum going, so it's possible. I never doubt Freddie or Markakis, but if they get out in their first AB, I wouldn't be shocked for them to go perfect through the first time in the order.

 

[Chewbaccer]

I really don't want to fire Snit. He's been here for over 40 years. I'm hoping that he'll agree to swap roles with Ron Washington.

That way he'll still be around for the players that apparently love him, and we'll be managed by a guy that took a team to back to back World Series.

You see this @Mistaken4193 ?

You see this @Mistaken4193 ?

You dont know whats gonna happen tommorow.....So WHY NOT TRY TO WIN TODAY WHEN YOU HAVE THE CHANCE??

Winkler was playing Catch in the BP yesterday....he wasnt even pitching. And Viz didnt even get up because we had a 4 run lead after 7 so there was no point in it, why Lie??

 

[Mistaken4193]

Scanning twitter and this post is easily the best way to sum it up:

 

[Mistaken4193]

The Phillies lost again. Had a chance to be clear of everyone by 2.5 games.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Fuck outrighting him to AAA. Get this bum out of our organization to ensure he'll never be used by us again.

 

[Chewbaccer]

No Harper in the lineup for the Nats today.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Great start for Sanchez

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Hellicksons hurt...big advantage for us considering yesterdays game went 14

 

[Mistaken4193]

Markakis!!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Hellickson owned us pretty bad when he was with the Phillies. We caught a big break there. We need to take advantage.

First inning run is big.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Maybe Sanchez was just rusty his last time out.

17 pitches through 2 today. If he could go 7, that would really help our cause going forward.

Lets not get our hopes up for Snit letting that happen after yesterday.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Damn, Freddie didnt catch it. We almost take him catching those short hops for granted
