Nationals vs. Reds, Game 2

C'mon down, Steve Shell

[ronnynat]

As long as they keep Fogg in, we're not out of this one.

[PC]

This is the kind of outing that gets you sent down! 

[JMUalumni]

58 pitches for Bergmann and 5 runs through 2...

[sportsfan882]

Way too many HRs. He's so freaking hittable. And all of this bullcrap was made possible because Jason failed to get either the #7 or #8 hitter out. Absolutely unacceptable.

As long as beachball stays in, my moneys on we will be.

 :bball:'s K/BB ratio is very good but he's always susceptible to the  :bball:

Fogg owned us a few weeks ago in Cincy. Our offense seems to give up after the first inning or two anyways. They almost never score during the middle innings.

I was all for dumping Odalis, but I think Bergmann could use another trip to the minors, possibly for the remainder of the year (does he have options? heck, who cares). Let's give Mock and or T Clip a long look.

True. Bergmann seems to fall apart whenever he has run support. I don't understand it.

His GO/AO is horrible, it is like 0.53.  That has always been my main problem with him, he can't induce groundballs.

[wisefan11]

I bet Fogg's gonna come out pounding the strike zone.

[wisefan11]

GOOD GOD WHY IS COMING TO THE PLATE. WHY MANNY?!?!

[sportsfan882]

I bet Fogg's gonna come out pounding the strike zone.

Yep. Something our pitchers NEVER do, even with leads. Even though Perez was good last night he was throwing too few strikes for my liking. Too many lead-off walks too.

we need to give Bergmann's run support to Lannan.

He was optioned earlier this season so he definitely still has options. I think long relief should be his role, once we get our starting pitching straightened out of course.

[wisefan11]

Haha Keppinger fails.

[sportsfan882]

That should be a hit. He might have beat that one out.

[cmdterps44]

holy crap he is pretty fast

[sportsfan882]

STEAL! Nothing to lose.

[spidernat]

That's not too bad. I guess it depends on if you see him as a #2 or #3, or a #4 or #5.

[PC]

Bergmann sucked all the life out of this game...

[sportsfan882]

Nice job Willie.

I wish Dukes was up instead of LM.

[spidernat]

He's far from a #2 or 3, he pitches like number 2 sometimes though. When he is bad he is dismal. As a starter on a decent team he is no better than a #5.
