To me it's most egregious because the Nationals have made it clear they hate bunting. Seemed like a total cave to "conventional wisdom". Coward move.

it looked like it was all espinosa to me (similar to simmons the other day). Morse didn't even try to come home.

 

[d[-_-]b]

LOL BOTH OF THESE TEAMS ARE SO BAD

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Thanks NL East fielders!

still headed home from the Packers game, they called it a clear sac on the radio

 

[Little Green Yoda]

pinch run with your fastest player
give up an out to move a guy from first to second

[RobotHaus]

Advanced the runner, better make something of it this inning.

oh. well espinosa dropped the bat down to bunt at the last minutue, so he was probably trying to get a hit or a squeeze. Now the cardinals just bunted, that was a sac, he squared up.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

Kozma better atone for his fucking error here

 

[Joey Fox]

I think Espinosa was trying to bunt for a hit. Dumb decision by him.

Huge popup, I'm nervous as Hell.

 

[Windu]

suddenly two outs.

 

[Joey Fox]

Do this, Clippard.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

lol at that call

that ball was closer to me than it was the batter.

 

[Joey Fox]

Yes!

Revenge for the outside strike to Hawpa

 

[Little Green Yoda]

wtf was that strike call

 

[Tobor]

I'll take it. 3 outs away.

 

[Windu]

infield fly make up call

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

infield fly make up call

The baseball gods giveth, the baseball gods taketh away.

 

[Joey Fox]

I'll take it. 3 outs away.

Three outs to guarantee a second home game at Nationals Park. That would be huge.

 

[RobotHaus]

infield fly make up call

Rip the flesh, salt the wound.

 

[Tobor]

Three outs to guarantee a second home game at Nationals Park. That would be huge.

If there's a game on Thursday, I'm hopefully going. I'm trying to work out the details with a couple of friends.

0-5

Not bad for Harper in his postseason debut

I wouldn't want to hit this time of day at Busch, either.

Only Ian Desmond the King has the skills.

 

[cashman]

Profar: 1-1

 

[Joey Fox]

It's all up to Storen and the Nats D, now.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

This is it. Top of the order. Let's make them work for this win.

 

[Tobor]

One out away.

 

[Joey Fox]

Oh crap. One out away from Winning the first playoff game in Nats history!

 

[HarryDemeanor]

You can do it Nats!

That was more like a half-day.

 

[RobotHaus]

[cashman]

Cardinlols

 

[HarryDemeanor]

[Tedesco!]

Suck it, St. Louis.

 

[Joey Fox]

[TheDarkKnight774]

Good. These wildcard teams shouldnt be playing at home.

 

[Brashnir]

Got tickets to Thursday and Friday's Nats games.

Here's hoping I don't get to use either one.

 

[Little Green Yoda]

We still have a chance at the series, depending on how well Garcia and Carpenter pitch. But pissing away a golden opportunity to win game 1 sucks. Bad situational hitting (especially that fucking 7th inning) and lousy managing late don't win many close games.

Congrats, Nats GAF.

 

[newjeruse]

Good. These wildcard teams shouldnt be playing at home.

Nats have a 1-0 lead with 3 out of the 4 remaining games at home. They're made in the shade.

 

[Opiate]

Great game, congrats to the Nationals.
