Nationals @ Mets, Game 2

[PC]

It's not Treinen's fault he sucks.  It's Rizzo's fault for putting us in the position to depend on him.  His 98mph pitches are the most hittable 98mph in baseball.

[PebbleBall]

Indeed

He's now drawing up a league-wide saga to explain one horrible misplay.

I missed it...should Werth have caught the ball, or did he do something else?

[nats2playoffs]

Nurphy will clear the bases.

WISH GRANTED.

He came in instead of going back.    He slipped also.   It was too late then.

[PebbleBall]

If I was less of an optimist I'd worry that from what I know of the Nats mental makeup it will take them 10 games to recover from this loss.

I stand corrected.  It was 97 not 98...but just as hittable.

Ah...doesn't look like it will matter...we likely aren't scoring anyway...

Turned on the hockey game.  Much more entertaining

[skippy1999]

Ok, take the next 2

[NatNasty]

Agree

[PANatsFan]

So does Werth need to move to 1B too? 

Yes put zim in lf

[Slateman]

Harvey is good

[Slateman]

Yes put zim in lf

Oh yea, great idea for the dude with plantar fasciitis

[nats2playoffs]

GAME OVER.

When they make it to the strike zone...which they often don't.

I'm still relatively new.  What is the Putin meme?

Goes back to a game in 2012.  I think Big Meech threatened to put a picture of Mitt Romney up in the GDT if the Nats could not come back in a game that inning.  I think I said you have to put a picture of Putin up if we won.  The nats tied it up and the game went extras.  Big Meech said while he did not officially lose the bet, he'd roll with it and put up a picture of Putin shirtless on horseback.  We won, so we started posting pictures of Putin, the Red headed spy who posted on facebook, and started bad mouthing wussy Riot.  The next day, Big Meech started a GDT with pictures of Putin, and we won.  Since then, PUTIN!!!! has been an good luck charm for special occasions.  Here, obviously PUTIN!!!! was misused.
