Pretty sure Oswalt didn't start going towards the plate until the ump came out at him. Also pretty sure Oswalt told him to get back behind the plate.

I actually went back and saw the episode again and when Oswalt walks off the mound in disgust the umpire comes from behind the plate towards him and he starts to say "Hey Roy," and the next thing he says is "Don't point at me!" So Oswalt was pointing at him already. He may have been telling him to get back behind the plate. When the camera shot shifts back to Oswalt he's pointing his glove towards the plate but I can't make out what he is saying. The only word I can make out is "you" but there were a couple words before that. For all we know he may have been saying something like "It's not directed at you".

We're going to need some offense from the bottom of the batting order.

...and we've gotten nothing, so far.

Yes, but the ump didn't come out until Oswalt threw his little tantrum coming off the mound. He didn't instigate the confrontation, Roy did.

This would never happen to a Nats pitcher because our pitchers are so incredibly passive.

Score more runs!

PC · « **Reply #106:** May 31, 2010, 03:27:25 PM »

A bunt into right field.

Grandstander · « **Reply #107:** May 31, 2010, 03:28:09 PM »

Riggleman is looking like a genius right now for moving Morgan down. 2-2 with 2 singles, sac bunt, steal, run scored.

"He's hitting like a lead off man"

The booing after every ball is starting to get irritating.

I'm still finding it funny.

BUNT!

Head first slides = scary

I didn't think there was any way he'd beaten that, but he did.

Grandstander · « **Reply #113:** May 31, 2010, 03:36:37 PM »

I would've killed Morgan if he got out there but now I'm thrilled. Heads up baseball!

Potomac Cannons · « **Reply #114:** May 31, 2010, 03:37:08 PM »

Bench Willie.

PC · « **Reply #115:** May 31, 2010, 03:37:17 PM »

Two one pitch outs for Harris.

DON'T SWING AT THE FIRST PITCH, IAN!

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #116:** May 31, 2010, 03:38:00 PM »

Another steal & run scored by Nook Morgan...
5th J Willingham singled to right center, N Morgan scored, R Zimmerman to second.

Nationals 5
Astronauts 2

We're going to need these runs we're leaving on base.

Grandstander · « **Reply #118:** May 31, 2010, 03:40:04 PM »

I have to believe Willie will not come out for his next AB. He serves no purpose for us against lefties and is only making a worse case for himself with these first pitch outs. If you don't want to put in Bernadina, at least put in Morse. I mean, why the hell did we call him up? So we could decoy PH him twice a week?

Morgan looked like he started the slide into 3B too early.
Something like this:

The Braves are about to take first in the East, up 9-3 in the 8th.

Leadoff walk.

Riggleman to Atilano - "This is your ass!"

PANatsFan · « **Reply #124:** May 31, 2010, 04:02:33 PM »

Atilano, Nyjer looking sharp.

I think these Houston fans are pretty terrible. I don't think we booed our guys this much last year.
