Nationals @ Phillies, Game 1

[DCFan]

Poor Jeremy.

[mitlen]

Dayum, I step out to the kitchen and come back to this  ...   

[trangert418]

So if the low pitch is his wheelhouse.............SMH

[DCFan]

Made no sense...

FP agreed with you.

[mitlen]

freak. Hellickson looked pissed in that dugout shot.

He should be.

[varoadking]

FP agreed with you.

FP reads WNFF...

[Air Desmond]

I understand the decision. Hellickson usually implodes at 75+ pitches. But, at some point you have to let him go deeper into the game. He was cruising.

[rileyn]

Every move Davey makes, whether or not it looks like the right move, turns to crap.  If he doesn’t suck, then he is snake bitten.

[mitlen]

FP reads WNFF...

Bob reads WNFF to FP.

[bluestreak]

Why in the world do you pull Hellickson?

Because Martinez is stupid.

I guess we are still unprepared since we pitched Hoskins in his hot zone.  FP for manager and pitching coach! He called it.

Was he grinning?

[Cinqo de Mayo]

You bring in the lefty for Harper who he walks. Jennings fail. Leave Jenniings in to face Hoskins? Martinez fail. Failure defines the team.

[Slateman]

Why do we pitch him low?

Martinez

Hopkins is a worse hitter against LHP

Not like there isn't a "book" on Hoskins

[mitlen]

Kapler vs Martinez, a real freakin' mental match up.

I get pulling JH. But there’s no way Jennings should have faced Hoskins.

Not with two on.

[Air Desmond]

This road trip will be the end of Davey Martinez. 2-8 leaves the Nats at 15-25.

[DCFan]

Kapler vs Martinez, a real freakin' mental match up.

Why is he pulling his pitcher for Difo?

[NatNasty]

Rough this bastard up. 

[mitlen]

Why is he pulling his pitcher for Difo?

It's science Fan, it's science.

[GburgNatsFan]

Was he grinning?

No. He definitely was not grinning. shaking his head, looking straight down, muttering. Can't blame him.

Just the kind of disharmony the team needs.
