No longer a jinx: Argue about the playoff roster here.

[Smithian]

Game 1 of the NLDS

We have three All Star hitters out of the lineup. No team is built to replace those three guys and have a good looking lineup.

I'm more worried about the pitching at this point. The Nats will find a way to scratch across a few runs. Our third and fourth starter are what concern me.

[madj55]

I've got more faith in Gio having a miracle outing than in that crap lineup scratching across runs.

[raleighnat]

I think Murph will be back.  This is our year to be the tough as nails team that doesn't break. 

Turner
Werth
Murphy
Rendon
Harper
Zimmerman
Espinosa
Severino

We can do this!

I'm down! Let's do it! Enough feeling sorry for ourselves!

I'm all in.

We have Max Scherzer, Tanner Roark, Trea Turner, and Anthony Rendon. That's the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse right there.

We can cry about injuries all offseason. Once we hit the playoffs it's our guys versus the poor sons of nages who are about to be on the wrong end of some Nationals firsts.

[imref]

guess:

IF:
Zimmerman, Murphy, Espinosa, Rendon, Difo, Drew, Robinson

C: Severino, Lobaton

OF: Harper, Turner, Werth, Heisey, Revere

Starters: Scherzer, Roark, Gio, Ross

Bullpen: Melancon, Trienan, Kelly, Solis, Glover, Latos, Rzepczynski

Now beat the darn Dodgers and then let's see a replay of this vs. the Cubs!

...  and you broke 20000.   

[aspenbubba]

No Glover...

I'm going with 9 RP. No Glover or Latos. Insert Belisle , Perez, Burnett and Lopez

And to you

[whytev]

Janes with an article about Goodwin being in consideration.

I'm telling you, Revere's not on this roster unless Bryce can't come back.

[madj55]

Goodwin with an ugly route in RF on that RBI double with 2 outs tonight.

[BrandonK]

True. Also provided more with the bat than most.

[More of #34]

Play Trea Turner at every position.

[Ray D]

After last night, I'm done with Gio. Keep him off the playoff roster please.

We are in deep shiiiit but you want one of Latos, Ross , Cole? I have Lopez in relief and Giolito looks like Ben MacDonald.

[Ray D]

Latos absolutely not.  But I think I'd take my chances with either Ross or Cole before Gio.

[BrandonK]

You can put me on ignore then, because I'd really take Gio over Ross (right now), Cole, or MF'ing Mat Latos. None are a good option. Gotta hope the BP is fresh and bats are hot.

Wasn't me, that was someone else talking about ignore.

i'm fine with Gio as a #3 starter against the LH-heavy Dodgers.   Look at the splits:

vs LHB: .241   .302   .331

vs RHB: .267   .333   .423

Yeah, but Gio sucks!!!!!!

Dusty said Murphy is "getting better, big time."

"We expect him to be ready for the 7th." Game One of the NLDS is on the 7th.
