This is a Frankism. Traber at bat with 2 men on, 1 out. After looking well done, fried.

Who was this 2nd man on?

Frank Fails again.. Watch, traber probably won't even come out, and if he does, he is going to give it up

The best you can realistically hope from Traber is one more inning.

Somebody explain something to me. ESPN is airing Monday Night Football. The New Orleans Saints are playing in Shreveport, Louisiana. It is 95 degrees and the heat index is 100 degrees. The Saints cheerleaders are ALL WEARING LONG PANTS!!!! Did they donate their shorts or skirts to the people of New Orleans? They've got to be sweltering, jumping all around in that heat. It looks like that stadium is packed, sold out - it had been really empty during the regular 2005 season. (They are playing the Cowboys...but it's a PRESEASON game!) I don't get it...I don't get it.....

There was only one runner on base...

hermida stuck his arm out to let that pitch hit him...

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #158:** August 21, 2006, 09:14:11 PM »

his curve ball is all over the place, he really shouldn't have hit hermida. hermida is not good

spidernat · « **Reply #159:** August 21, 2006, 09:14:37 PM »

WOW that play was awsome!

gozimm · « **Reply #160:** August 21, 2006, 09:14:50 PM »

Great play Zimmerman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #161:** August 21, 2006, 09:15:25 PM »

zimmerman with a hell of a play!! He has made some nice ones tonight

spidernat · « **Reply #162:** August 21, 2006, 09:17:06 PM »

that pitch was too good considering the count.

spidernat · « **Reply #163:** August 21, 2006, 09:17:34 PM »

but again hermida should not have been on base...this umpire is a coward

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #164:** August 21, 2006, 09:18:04 PM »

THANK YOU FRANK ROBINSON FOR BLOWING THE LEAD

If the bullpen had come in and given up the run you would be blaming FR for taking traber out...

Based on the way Traber pitched in the last inning, this was foreseeable by everybody except one person.

spidernat · « **Reply #169:** August 21, 2006, 09:20:36 PM »

he was up in the count again and threw it middle of the plate...gotta pick him up with the sticks

Come on man, Traber should not be out there. He has zero location right now! F*CK FRANK ROBINSON!! THERE GOES THE GAME!!! TRABER SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN OUT FOR A PINCH HITTER WHO COULD HIT A FLY BALL. AND THEN PUT IN RAUCH. BS

spidernat · « **Reply #171:** August 21, 2006, 09:22:18 PM »

but he wasn't wild this inning....he threw a couple pitches that were too good and got clobbered....which is the frustrating thing about this team...all pitchers make mistakes and miss their spots at times during the game...but the nationals rarely make pitchers pay for their mistakes...that was the case last year and it's the case again this year

spidernat · « **Reply #172:** August 21, 2006, 09:23:29 PM »

i agree he should've been taken out for a pinch hitter but perhaps he told the skipper that he felt good and had something left

PC · « **Reply #173:** August 21, 2006, 09:23:39 PM »

There is a natural place for where a pitcher's game should end. Add to that the fact that the pitcher spot was due up with a runner in scoring position.

This was truly a no-brainer.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #174:** August 21, 2006, 09:24:21 PM »

Traber clearly used all he had left in the tank in the 6th. And if we had pinch hit for him and the pinch hitter simply made contact, the score would have been 2-0. And think we could have brought in Rauch. If Rauch gave it up, than so be it. But, Traber pitched a hell of a game and frank ruined it by leaving him out to dry and now Traber's confidence is shot.
