Nationals vs Cubs, NLDS Game 1

[varoadking]

i think we have to move out of the NL East, not facing any competition in the regular season makes us soft.

The Philippines need a new team...

[nfotiu]

It was a bad play (on a foul ball), but he's one of the most error-free 3Bs in the game.

It wasn't a bad play though.  He assumed foul and gave up on it.

[RobDibblesGhost]

He didn't cost us a game by being a lazy jerk, like Rendon did.

Doesn't really matter if the offense can't score any runs.

[GburgNatsFan]

Two?

Well that officially sucked. One of the most dominant post season starting pitching performances we'll ever see and the boys can only muster - what- two hits? 

   

[GburgNatsFan]

Whatever. We can't hit.

It wasn't a bad play though.  He assumed foul and gave up on it.

They just can't perform under pressure. What a disappointment.

He jogged to every ball hit his way. He was 100% playing lazy. Werth is awful.

[KV]

Uncle Ray is remarkably calm.

I think he's just slow now.

[GburgNatsFan]

Uncle Ray is remarkably calm.

He's used to it.

Is Robles incapable of playing left?

[The Chief]

Uncle Ray is remarkably calm.

He's accepted it, just ride the easy gig and enjoy the twilight years.

Says every DC sports fan at the end of every sports post season.  :-(

Lind, Kendrick, Robles, anyone in the stands. There just has to be a different person in LF the rest of the way.

[skippy1999]

a loss in game one
just means we'll have to play four
we're not defeated

It just dawned on me every time I wear my "lucky" Nats earrings we lose, they are going in the trash. You are all welcome.

Not gonna happen

Uncle Ray is remarkably calm.

On MASN, Ray Knight is running a clinic on everything Nationals' batters did to fail at the plate. Hendricks was easily hittable, and these jerkS just stood there and let him beat them with 85 mph pitches.

I mean Murphy stood there and watched two meatballs down the middle of the plate. He's not the only one.

[BigMeech]

Typical National postseason bullcrap. 

[Leroy Veritas]

One can only hope. Maybe the manager also sent nudes of an ex girlfriend to people and will get suspended.

[nats2playoffs]

Trea Turner 0 for 4
Ryan Zimmerman 0 for 4, likes to swing at pitches in the dirt.

[Scraps]

“0-2” pitch to Bryant right where he likes it Up and out over?????? WT#???!?!

You can ABSOLUTELY feel the negativity in the stadium;
When Murphy hit the line drive for an out in the 1st with Harper at 2nd base - “HERE WE GO AGAIN”!
When Rendon booted that ball - “HERE WE GO AGAIN”!
When Strasburg threw an “0-2” pitch up and out over to Bryant where he FN LOVES IT  - “HERE WE GO AGAIN”!
When Baker chose to pitch to Rizzo - “HERE WE GO AGAIN”!

Let’s look at the bright side guys, Indians / Astros will be one GREAT World Series.

I will be ecstatic to see Werth leave. I almost want us to lose 3 straight to get him off our club faster - Addition by subtraction. “Oh but he takes so many pitches and hits in favorable counts“.  what a bunch of BS! Werth is a scumbag! Bye-bye!

Indians Astros can’t be the World Series. But I’m sure you know tons about baseball.
