Nationals vs Braves, Game 3

[Nat of the Living Dead]

They need to start fining pitchers when they walk a batter. Seriously.

[Air Zimmerman]

by the way, what purpose does Bergmann serve?

[DCFan]

haha in the postgame manny pretty much calls out dukes and flores for failing to get those runs in.  hahahaha there ya go manny, about time you start calling people out.

Manny has shown time and again that he has no problem whatsoever calling out Dukes. In fact he rarely misses an opportunity.

[PANatsFan]

by the way, what purpose does Bergmann serve?

Bullpen management was terrible. Wells and Bergmann were totally fresh and Tavarez came in and kicked ass, but after the damage was done.

[sportsfan882]

by the way, what purpose does Bergmann serve?

he gets drinks for the guys in the pen.

Manny would rather keep putting Hinckley out there even though he has 9 walks in 7 innings.

[skippy1999]

Our bullpen is full of cowards.

Except for Julian

flores deserved it.

so did cintron though and manny knocked him.

[PANatsFan]

Except for Julian

With Nails Beimel out he's our best reliever.

[hammondsnats]

boy this offday is gonna be fun. 

[sportsfan882]

I love Ray Knight's fire. He doesn't put up with excuses. He'd be a lot better manager than Acta.

it's a shame he never called out his BFF Milledge. EVER. FREAK YOU MANNY!

[sportsfan882]

boy this offday is gonna be fun. 

time to re-lube our asses because Santana is going to freak us hard on Friday night. we will get shut out twice in a row.

[Nat of the Living Dead]

Except for Julian

I'm sure he'll have his chance to blow it this season like the rest of the yellow-bellied eggsuckers.

don't even try and compare them.  milledge is down in the minors. 

the point is now and dukes didn't get the job done.  accept it.

[sportsfan882]

I'm sure he'll have his chance to blow it this season like the rest of the yellow-bellied eggsuckers.

he already has 1 loss. he has been good since then though.

I'm sure you're right, no reliever is going to be perfect every time, but I promise you it won't be because he is scared.

[sportsfan882]

don't even try and compare them.  milledge is down in the minors. 

the point is now and dukes didn't get the job done.  accept it.

speaking of Milledge, he's batting .118 in AAA. good for him.

[skippy1999]

he already has 1 loss. he has been good since then though.

He was good before then too, face it not every reliever is going to be lights out all of the time, you just have to hope for most of the time.

[JMUalumni]

Yeah, Tavarez will probably pick up another loss here and there, but he looks like he is a consistent guy.  He is the least of my worries in the bullpen right now.

[sportsfan882]

sorry, John. He deserved to win in each of his last two starts. I bet he can't wait to get out of D.C.

[hammondsnats]

flores 0-for-3 w/ 3 lob.  yuckers.

cintron 0-for-4.  terrible.

[Nathan]

Looks like Mock gets the L

[PANatsFan]

Jurjjjjens had 7 LOB

[Nat of the Living Dead]

I'd gladly trade away the whole batch of rotten eggs for a fresh dozen. The bullpen sucks.

And WTF is Cintron doing on an MLB roster?

[sportsfan882]

Looks like Mock gets the L

Acta should have given him a chance to get the final out. terrible move pulling him for Hinckley.
