Nationals @ Mets, Game 2

[mitlen]

Back to back innings where they got the lead and immediately blew it in humiliating fashion. The mets are a dumpster fire and they look miles better than us.

Perhaps several hundred yards  ....

Frazier is a dick, isn't he.

[nfotiu]

I feel like his 97 fastball has movement and 99 is straight as an arrow. Last night was the same and they were getting better hacks off the 99. Are they different fastballs?

[UMDNats]

Why the hell wasn't he using Doolittle? Cano-alonso-frazier begs for a "the real save is the 8th" situation. I thought davey was a NUMBERS guy

[Slateman]

Was that last night they were posting about that?

Yep

[Air Desmond]

Everyone still excited for Tanner?

Yep. Filthy stuff.

[spidernat]

It hurt to strand those runners

And when they blew the 9th, youd be screaming for Davey to have kept Doolittle for the 9th

All managers are stupid saving their closers until they’re no longer needed, except for Franconia with Miller a couple years ago.

Parra got locked up on a great pitch but it really sucks that our season is relying on... Parra to come up with huge hits.

Fake news. It would have been a totally logical decision. But either way we still have one bullpen arm with a pulse.

Miller wasn't the closer.

[skippy1999]

Miller wasn't the closer.

Was their best pitcher used all over the place.

[imref]

just tuning in, looks like the bullpen is bull-penning.  Nice start for Fedde at least.

[nfotiu]

I’m thinking he was ready to bring in Doolittle at the first sign of trouble and hoped he could get at least an outcor two so Doolittle didn’t have to get six outs but then that homer happened.

[spidernat]

this umpire blows

[Slateman]

Was their best pitcher used all over the place.

But they got him for that role because they had a very good closer

[NatsAllThe Way]

Time for the walkoff

[trangert418]

Why can't they make the foul poles higher?

[spidernat]

that was a cookie

[spidernat]

this game is about to end

[Slateman]

Smart by Davey. Get the loss out of the way so we dont have to burn Doolittle

[UMDNats]

Well win the next two and davey and Mike will tell us how we have all this momentum!

Those DP were a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away
