the one good thing about traber, as opposed to almost the rest of our staff, is that he isn't afraid of the strike zone.

Yep, and he throws a Curve Ball unlike Armas and Ortiz who throw the same speed pitches.

they said there are barely a couple hundred people inthe stadium. I guess we should never complain about attendance.

Why is no one at this particular game? There have been other Nationals games and at least a few thousand would show up.

he reminds me of a confident mike o'connor

Traber seems more seasoned and does not appear to struggle with his release point which leads to o'connor's awful control.

It's tough to figure out floridians. it's a large town with a heavy latin american population so i don't get why they can't get people to show up. that just may not be a good city to have a baseball team in. but like most fair weather fans they show up when they are in the playoffs.

One pitch out for Zimmerman.

exactly, but it's not like FLA is bad. I like watching them, they have alot of young exciting players.

wow did you guys hear that?

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #58:** August 21, 2006, 07:51:34 PM »

1 pitch out?? What is wrong with these guys?

spidernat · « **Reply #59:** August 21, 2006, 07:51:53 PM »

i agree with you but for some reason they don't show up to support the young talent.

looked safe to me. but the nationals just have buzzard luck in how that ball hit the umpire.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #63:** August 21, 2006, 07:53:38 PM »

There ya go Nick. walk. That must suck to be a Marlin though and play at that stadium with a couple hundred people.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #64:** August 21, 2006, 07:54:04 PM »

effing ump cheated

Against Sanchez, I can't blame the for trying to steal.

The likelihood of them stringing enough hits together to manufacture a run ain't that good!

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #66:** August 21, 2006, 07:55:07 PM »

ugh.. should be 1st and 2nd with 1 out

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #67:** August 21, 2006, 07:56:06 PM »

Kearns 2 pitch out.. eek. Our approach tonight is terrible

PC · « **Reply #68:** August 21, 2006, 07:56:19 PM »

He walked two batters that inning!!! Please take some pitches. Force him to throw strikes!!!

spidernat · « **Reply #69:** August 21, 2006, 07:56:22 PM »

that would've been a double play anyway...it was tailor made for 2

spidernat · « **Reply #70:** August 21, 2006, 07:57:20 PM »

approach is an issue with this team....i think some of the players are eager to end the season and go on vacation

spidernat · « **Reply #71:** August 21, 2006, 07:58:08 PM »

it's so empty there that every crack of the bat echoes loudly

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #72:** August 21, 2006, 07:58:27 PM »

cabrera 1 pitch out, that's nice

spidernat · « **Reply #73:** August 21, 2006, 08:00:22 PM »

great comeback from being down 3-0 in the count by traber....i've seen that happened against us way too frequently, it's about time it went our way for a change

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #74:** August 21, 2006, 08:01:24 PM »

Traber is money
