I still don't understand why Manny had Nieves pinch run for Bard.

Have you seen how slow Bard is?

He's the backup catcher now that Nieves has been used.

so? he can still come off the bench...

Kick some ass Guzzie. Punks on message boards are making fun of you.

Is he that much slower than Nieves? It just seemed like an unnecessary move.

I agree. I think Manny overmanaged tonight. At the very least, over substituted.

yes, Bard is quite slow. Nieves actually has surprising speed for a catcher.

Dude is PAINFULLY slow. I'm talking worse than Carlos Baerga slow.

Bard is so slow he couldn't beat Dmitry Young to the buffet.

Nice hit Guzzie.

Nieves runs well for a catcher. Bard is very slow. Didn't he get thrown out at the plate not long ago?

WOOOO 8TH INNING MAGIC!

Guzy! that's what i'm talkin' 'bout!

wooo!!! Guz breaks through1

Now it's up to Joel Hanrahan!

JMUalumni · « **Reply #340:** June 02, 2009, 09:40:18 PM »

Guzman with a clutch RBI, couldn't have picked a better time to get a hit.

This inning is a nightmare for eagleskins. Nieves pinch runs and scores a run, Hernandez singles, Gonzalez singles, Guzman singles.

YES. That's the memory that's fresh in my mind. Dude is HORRIBLE slow. That video might still be on Nationals.com, Ronny.

Another EZ home!
Guzman singles in Hernandez!

Natinals 6
giants 5

The 2008 Cy Young winner will NOT be getting a win tonight!

I was in need of a new one any ways since Acta is not going anywhere.

don't jinx it though. Mr. Hanrahan still has to get 3 more outs.

We should sign Preston Wilson.

I quite enjoy him.

spidernat · « **Reply #348:** June 02, 2009, 09:42:59 PM »

I have a feeling Chief has something nice cooked up for sportsfan.

I think Manny put Nieves in there to run because he wanted him in there defensively anyways. He was avoiding one of these moments:
