Nationals @ Cubs, NLDS Game 3

[natsarl]

A 1 run deficit with our offense the way it is would feel like a 10-0 deficit.

That camera man is horrible

You can sit him down when you've got another good one, who is actually better on defense, who hit really well as a starter this year.

Please...

Remember the last game?

Could have been the director punchin' up the wrong shot.

Remember the last game?

I don’t, care to enlighten me?

I agree it's probably time to put Difo out there but I also understand why they're giving Turner the chance to get it going.

[Leroy Veritas]

Please...

Not even up for debate. Difo's UZR and UZR/150 are much higher.

[Scraps]

The moment is too big
He has no idea how to adjust his swing
His coaching staff doesn't know how to adjust anyone's swing.

Agree with all that.
 
Turner has just enough power to get himself into trouble. His swing is way too long and loose for a guy with his speed.

[mitlen]

Please...

You just love startin' crap.

Keep your advanced metrics...I'll use the eye test.  Difo has the worst glove hand of any middle infielder in all of MLB...

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Why the freak even argue defense with Difo/Turner?  That's not why you're replacing Turner at this point.

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Remember the last game?

It's really not that much to ask to get more than 6 runs in 3 games.

I'm on the fence about whether or not its time to bench Trea but he can struggle in the 8 hole as well as the 1 hole and our offense will be better for it.

That's the same argument that anti-vax and anti-GMO people use. Subjective nonsense over objective fact.

If we lose, Dusty will change nothing.    If we win, maybe  ..

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Max is very winded.  It's not normal for him to struggle through every AB like this.

Just hope he can survive.

He woke me up with that one...

Noticed he's gruntin' early today.

[Elvir Ovcina]

Nah, I was suitably anesthetized, but something about coming from behind, Harper, Zimmerman, and loud noises seems to be coming back.

[varoadking]

That's the same argument that anti-vax and anti-GMO people use.

Wrong thread...pull your head out of your stats and actually watch a game once in a while...

[Slateman]

We gotta get to him here

Good inning if you put the leadoff walk aside.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

well done, Max. 

Deja vu - ace carrying no hitter into the 6th . . .
