I kind of feel bad for Vogelsong... he doesn't deserve this. Nobody deserves this.

 

[Windu]

i think the nationals sold their soul to the devil for all this luck.

Zito does.

 

[endresults]

What did Bochy get booted for?

 

[rando14]

Gotdang Nats.

Also poor Vogelsong, his era jumped like half a point

 

[Corran Horn]

What did Bochy get booted for?

Arguing a call the ump blew at first base.


Guess Ill go workout now....sigh

*Hasn't been watching Nats/Giants game*

*checks boxscore*

*explodes*

Reading it over, that sounds like some of the most extreme BABIP luck I've ever heard of.

It was absurd and total bullshit. But I'll take the seven runs.

 

[Fenderputty]

Looks like we're gonna be tied in the division!!!

 

[Sharp]

Okay this game doesn't count anymore, this is just silly. We'll call this an exhibition game and play the real first game of the series tomorrow.

 

[CygnusXS]

It's not like they can make you give the runs back, I guess.

Hey look it's happening again.

Aren't they supposed to have Strasberg on innings count for the year? What happens when they make the post season?

He watches from the dugout.

LOL, not a blown call at all actually. The Nats' announcers have been being nice to SF all night and even they said that it was a bang bang play. Runs still score on the play anyway.

 

[RBH]

I went to a Gwinnett Braves game tonight. First time ever going to a minor league game. Probably no more than 1,000 people there.

 

[McNei1y]

It's been announced that he won't pitch in the post season if he reaches his limit.

Damn this game is exciting. Some lucky calls but at least we're cashing in. Hot damn!

 

[rando14]

Hey Nats give the M's some of your runs, that'd be super cool, thanks

 

[Dominican Power]

LULZ Giants.

 

[rando14]

Trayvon's got some real potential. Nice short swing, solid pop, great speed.

So have him open the season away? Start him as 5th man in rotation and he pitches twice in april. What's the point of this run if he sits? Why not play him less in season. Less innings / pitches etc etc

Almost like they started the season thinking they would suck.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

The Expos would kill to be in this situation right now, they would go for it even if Stefan's arm became shattered.

There's no point but its the FO call. They did the same to Jordan last year. A little bit of me believes they'll say fuck it and pitch him when it gets closer.

 

[TheNatural]

5 game lead baby. Time to push this thing out starting tomorrow. Hopefully the Mets have no one good pitching, haven't checked.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Nats probably got scared after watching the mess Cole Hamels was in 2009 after all those postseason innings.

 

[Fenderputty]

Put him on the DL for a month with a sore pinkie toe.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Put him on the DL for a month with a sore pinkie toe.

Tom Glavine said on one of the Braves broadcasts that they should just put Strasburg on the DL for all of August and make up something like anxiety.

 

[Sharp]

Save some of that luck for the rest of the season guys

 

[McNei1y]

Tom Glavine said on one of the Braves broadcasts that they should just put Strasburg on the DL for all of August and make up something like anxiety.

We've probably exceeded our limit on bullshit DL placements since we've used so many on Nady, DeRosa and Henry Rodriguez.

 

[clemenx]

Regular season, I can understand. More so when they have a solid lead and 2 other people pitching like aces this season.

No playoffs is indefensible, though.

 

[McNei1y]

Oh look a home run. Crazy how that's the first of the night considering the score.

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Bernadina's double would have been a grand slam in many other parks.

 

[Sharp]

lol Jon Miller

"For those of you just tuning in, you might be wondering, what's the score? Well... don't ask."

 

[Dominican Power]

It would be funny if the difference between The Nats winning a world series or not is if Strausburg pitches in the post season.

 

[Fenderputty]

Tom Glavine said on one of the Braves broadcasts that they should just put Strasburg on the DL for all of August and make up something like anxiety.

Why not? They'll have a 5.5 game lead after tonight. Hey what's up have a wildcard regardless.

 

[McNei1y]

Bernadina's double would have been a grand slam in many other parks.

That's true.

Don't say that. Don't. Noooooooo.

I feel like this is a really dumb move.

 

[McNei1y]

I feel like this is a really dumb move.

It really is. The FO has shown, though, over the years that they build/make decisions for the future... unfortuneately, the future is here and they're not exactly changing their philosophy.

 

[Branduil]

It's been announced that he won't pitch in the post season if he reaches his limit.

LOL no way.

 

[endresults]

I feel like this is a really dumb move.

It is. They're too stupid to look a few years down the line when they lose him to free agency. I hope the next team that gets him says "thanks for babying the fuck out of him! He'll pitch 220 innings a year for us for years to come. Oh, and sorry about that World Series you never made it to."

 

[Xplatformer]

OK...this Dodger fan wants the Giants to score 12 unanswered runs...get it close in the 8th inning...then lose.

Would be best .... game ... ever.

 

[yankeehater]

It would be funny if the difference between The Nats winning a world series or not is if Strausburg pitches in the post season.

It really might be, they are definitely the best team with him. It will be interesting to see how good they are without him for a long stretch.

 

[rando14]

This fucking home ump

EDIT: This fucking second base ump. Wow, terrible calls right back to back.

 

[Joey Fox]

The baseball Gods will smile upon the babying of Strasburg's golden arm with World Series victory.

His absence sure isn't hurting during this throttling of the Giants.

 

[Corran Horn]

Got back from my run to see the score almost doubled. Awesome.

[McNei1y]

Anthony Rendon just got promoted to AA tonight. Wat!

 

[Mr. Enigma]

Braves announce Matt Diaz needs thumb surgery and is out for the season.

 

[Sharp]

Anthony Rendon just got promoted to AA tonight. Wat!

I kind of feel weird asking this question, but assuming he moves up the ranks pretty quickly, where would he play exactly?

 

[Joey Fox]

Anthony Rendon just got promoted to AA tonight. Wat!

That's awesome.

Hope to see him in DC soon. Not that he's needed.
