Author Topic: Nationals @ Cubs, Game 1 (Read 8533 times)

What numbers? His numbers are significantly better this year against righties than lefties, and he'd only faced Heyward 4 times (none this year), so that's hardly enough to get conclusions from.

He was 0-4 against Solis. You want that matchup

0-4 isn't enough. That's the equivalent of one game against a starter. Sorry, no, that's exactly the problem of small sample size.

Talk about small sample size. If that’s what Dave based his decision on he’s dumb. I’m usually against bashing these guys, but every time Solís comes in my sphincter tone increases significantly.

Such a weird season. I feel like we all are watching games waiting for something bad to happen.

Sneaky Eaton is sneaky.

It sucks to think about this all doesn’t happen if kieboom holds on to one of those foul tips...

of course but that's not a skill. who knew the no hitter would come back to bite us in the ass, if not for that Hellickson is likely out of there by then. but can we stop nagging about Hellickson not being allowed to pitch deeper into games now?

Not many large sample sizes for young players that aren’t in the same division.

That's right. Should have brought in our LOOGY. Oh, don't have one.

I don’t think anyone has been saying that for a while.

I’m not blaming Kieboom. Just saying how it sucks and things can turn on something unlucky like that.

By any means necessary.

When the wind blows, you bunt.

Lefties had a .604 OPS against Shawn Kelley in 2018.

Not much you can do, when a ball 3-4 inches off the plate is a strike. You’ve gotta swing at literally anything.

AR's makin' my .325 average look bad.

99% chance Kintzler comes in and makes Nats look silly
