A reference to the coming of Strasburg? That did not turn out to well, but I hear he made a great comeback.

I got it, even if nobody else thought it worth noting.

Isn't the saying "go for the win at home and a tie on th road" a hockey saying?

I totally don't follow the strategy Dibble is talking about - play for the win when at home, and for the tie if on the road. This makes no sense to me at all.

That's just an old platitude that does not make sense in extra inning baseball.

I always thought it was the other way in baseball - you need to grab a lead when you are the road, while the home team only needs a tie to have a chance to win later.

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #390:** May 05, 2010, 10:26:10 PM »

Wagner can still bring it.

ronnynat · « **Reply #391:** May 05, 2010, 10:26:19 PM »

Opposite field homer would work for me. You know he's going to throw the offspeed stuff here.

It's impossible to play for the tie on the road in extra innings.

The crap was that?

Nice to have Willingham up here.

The Chief · « **Reply #397:** May 05, 2010, 10:27:02 PM »

Name my firstborn Josh for a walk-off here.

DPMOmaha · « **Reply #398:** May 05, 2010, 10:27:03 PM »

Up to Hammer.

EdStroud · « **Reply #399:** May 05, 2010, 10:27:38 PM »

Maybe the Nationals should have played for the tie!
