WALK!!! B2B great ABs!!

Back to back great ABs by Inciarte and Flowers.

 

[Chewbaccer]

Eh...seems like he had a valid complaint. I will still never forgive him for how he managed our Bullpen in 2011 though.

When Mike Minor was mowing down the Yankees and we were ahead 4-0 and he only had like 80 pitches in the 8th inning, and Fredi pulled him after a lead off infield single, and then later in the inning, A-Rod broke the grand slam record, I was done with him.

ANOTHER GREAT AB!!

Swing the fucking Bat Flaherty.

Ozzie cant lay off high FBs.

Managing the Pen was something Bobby was really good at so going from him to Fredi was infuriating.

Damn nice throw.... I thought Freddie was easily safe.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Nice.

 

[Mistaken4193]

ENDER!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

I think Ender needs to go back to leadoff, Ozzie back to 2nd, and Acuna to 5th or 6th.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Another Win!!

 

[Chewbaccer]

Big win there.

Overcame 4 unearned runs.

Had we lost, we would have lost the division lead and lost ground to every other team in the division, and the Nats would have been within .5 games.

His bat has heated up, but Ender definitely needs to bat leadoff. Albies is just too young. Albies has been great, don't get me wrong, but the leadoff man needs to see more pitches IMO. Albies will be a stud no matter where he bats, and he did just fine in the 2 hole earlier.

I'd move Acuna down to 6th. I think he's pressing a bit at the plate.

It seems like Acuna is trying to hit every ball 500ft. And now teams have started shifting on him.

He has trouble laying off the outside slider.

He's the youngest guy in the Majors, so there's gonna be some growing pains.

He'll battle out of it, but I think for now, it would be better for us and for him to drop him to 6th or 7th.

 

[Mistaken4193]

I'll Take it!!

 

[Mistaken4193]

Great start by Newk.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Newks control isnt there...but he is still finding a way.

 

[Mistaken4193]

Fuck. Big opprotunity about to be blown
