You guys are blowing Ortiz' performance out of proportion. The first run that scored was due to some broken bat bad luck for Ortiz, so really it should be 2-2, and you can't complain about a starter giving up 2 or 3 runs in 7 innings. Blame our offense if you want to blame anyone.

Why is Ortiz still in with his pitch count at 118?

I don't think we have much chance of winning this series anyway. We'll be lucky to get a split. I mean think about it. Two teams with the same records, but the Rockies are just under .500 DURING A SLUMP while the Nats are just under .500 DURING THE HOTTEST STREAK OF THE YEAR.

By that logic we wouldn't have won anything over the past three weeks.

We're at home and they're very far away from theirs and they're hardly world-beaters, in the best of circumstances!

Yeah I know, but I'm just saying that sometimes there are more to matchups than stats, and I feel like the Rockies are gonna rain on our parade. They have a very solid team and it's not like we can continue this hot streak forever. Another series win would be great, but realistically, I'll be satisfied with a 2-2 split.

Good God, Stanton with a runner on - but he IS facing a lefty!!!

If we took 3 of 4 from the Phillies we should take 3 of 4 from the Rockies. Look at their starters, it's laughable. Francis, B Kim, Fogg, Jennings. The Rockies aren't that good, they are just now falling back to normalcy.

Yeah but by all indications, we're playing way ABOVE normalcy right now. We were a .333 team until about 3 weeks ago.

Why do they keep bringng Stanton in with runners on board. He's proven over and over again that he can't handle the pressure

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #134:** June 12, 2006, 09:02:16 PM »

This is complete BS!!!! The Rockies are the luckiest freaking team in the MLB.

PC · « **Reply #135:** June 12, 2006, 09:02:35 PM »

This would be an embarrassing loss.

Please offense, do something!!!

Senators2005 · « **Reply #136:** June 12, 2006, 09:02:43 PM »

Todd Helton singles...another RBI for the Rockies.

Colorado 4

Washington 2

How do you give up an uncontested steal to a guy with 3 stolen bases with a left hander on the mound. How do you let that guy get into scoring position??????????? Stanton's luster is wearing off.

I was afraid of this series.

PC · « **Reply #138:** June 12, 2006, 09:04:09 PM »

Stanton might be spent.

As was I... as was I.

Somebody needs to check and see if the Rockies are intentionally using weak bats to score hits. Seriously, I think they've had half a dozen broken bats tonight.

metssuck · « **Reply #142:** June 12, 2006, 09:06:08 PM »

How come their bats keep breaking. I'm becoming suspicious now. Thats too many broken bats

metssuck · « **Reply #143:** June 12, 2006, 09:06:44 PM »

Nats of the Living Dead. WE need you to put some bats up for us .

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #144:** June 12, 2006, 09:07:17 PM »

C'mon Rivera - get ONE out!

PC · « **Reply #145:** June 12, 2006, 09:07:23 PM »

Can we get the third out? PLEASE!

Nat of the Living Dead · « **Reply #146:** June 12, 2006, 09:07:44 PM »

Got to go work the graveyard shift now. I'll leave the Mystery of the Broken Bats and the conspiracy theories to everyone else tonight. Hopefully the boys can come back.

Saul Rivera should be demoted for Patterson when he comes back,

I'm sure he will but we'll still have to decide who drops out of the rotation.

I'd like it too, but he's only a reliever and then we'd have 6 starters. I say just trade Ortiz and all our problems are solved.
