Nationals @ Phillies, Game 3

[natsfan4evr]

yes! anderson is awesome lol

Remember we said this about Bonifacio?

[JMUalumni]

That should be a hit
Finally some offense

THey gave him the hit and RBI.  A runner like D Young would have gotten the error, but speed gets you the good graces of the stat guys (as well as bunt hits).

Anderson Hernandez now has 5 hits in his first two games here. 

How long before the rest of the team "infects" him? 

[JMUalumni]

Remember we said this about Bonifacio?

I agree that Hernandez won't keep this up, he should revert to fringe major leaguer mode soon.  I still have my hopes up for Bonifacio, but I don't think he will be anywhere near what a lot of folks here have projected him to become.

yeah whenever we get a guy, he does really well before sucking, like bonifacio for example... maybe they just haven't had time to get over to the hitting cages yet.

[eagleskins]

Oh come on, everytime a player slumps we don't bench him. If we did that, 90% of the lineup would be benched.

I'm not saying bench him.  I'm saying we need to get a look at Montz as well.

Bonifacio, Sanches, and several others had great debuts and then quickly fell back down to their old levels.

Lenny Harris hasn't worked his "magic" yet

[eagleskins]

So Saul or Shell than Joel?

[sportsfan882]

MASN just showed the Game Summary with the Score still shown as 1-1.

No one at MASN is watching the game.

[sportsfan882]

freak. Horrible 0-2 pitch and an equally horrible throw by Zimmerman. I hate when he throws it real side arm like that.

[natsfan4evr]

Not another error Zimmerman

[natsfan4evr]

Lead Cancel

[sportsfan882]

damnit. Very, Very Nice play by AH though.

[sportsfan882]

oh freak you. Are you kidding me? Carlos Ruiz? Oh my god.

[natsfan4evr]

Now he gives up a HR

[sportsfan882]

That settles it. We are not going to win another game. What a load of bullcrap this team is.

[Coladar]

This team truly, truly, truly hates to win.

[sportsfan882]

This team finds a new way to lose every game.

Bullcrap infield chopper turns into a triple (3 base error), then an RBI ground-out, followed by a HR by the back-up catcher.

[oakviewnatfan]

Zimmerman the LVP of the Nats!
Let's hear about this his greatness!!!
He is the most overrated player in Baseball.

[sportsfan882]

Rivera looks terrible. He is throwing way too many hittable pitches in 0-2, 1-2 counts. Bury the ball you freaking idiot!

[eagleskins]

Saul is a bum in the Ayala mold.  I feel sorry for Joel, he never gets a save opportunity. 

[sportsfan882]

I still can't believe it. We let the #8 hitting back-up catcher with a .220 AVG and 2 HRs on the year beat us.

Manny has taught this team to be a bunch of chokers because they cannot handle pressure because Manny never gets upset.  It's like he is running a Montessori Nursery School where the teachers let the kids find their strengths and they guide them.  Manny wants to be supportive of everyone and always be positive.  He should start a nursery school for baseball players.  Oh I forgot it's called the Nats.
