Nationals @ Astros, WS Game 1

[natsarl]

I wanted to take 1 in Houston....now time to get greedy and take two fellas.

That was a very unexpected drama free ninth inning for both teams

Need 8 out of Stras.

Bregman swung

This was brilliant, you guys suck

[NatsLSU]

I think Stras goes 8 tomorrow and think about the confidence our hitters have after tonight.

[nats4ever]

Going to be a challenge.  Not sure if Hudson is available after so many pitches.

We won today didn't we..

[hohoho]

Unbelievable we won the Cole game. He has been literally unbeatable. Stras is going to DEAL tomorrow. I can’t wait.

19-0 streak broken.

Charlie needs to rest his voice, he sounds sick.

Look at all those postseason curly dubs on Page 1.  JUST LOOK AT THEM.

Will see Suero too <ducks>

Phew. Started watching on the plane as I left Denver and caught the last inning at home. It made for a stressful trip. Max wasn’t sharp but it’s a

Can't always have quantity and quality both.  We'll take quality -- that's what Max gave us.

Didn't Musial have a more upright stance?    They both load up on that back leg though when they swing.

Not enough beef in there to make a difference for the team.

That’s beef?

[Natsinpwc]

Max and Soto on MLB. Max talking a mile a minute.

[sixthree175]

That’s beef?

It's mostly potatoes.  That's how they make their margins.

Need 8 out of Stras. 

Seven would be good.  Eight would give us an excellent chance to win.  (If we go 2-0 in Houston, I'll be even more delirious than I've ever been so far this post season).

Zimmerman just to get the Nats on the board was the turning point. And Scherzer has big brass ones. Good night.
