Nationals vs Braves, Game 3

[Kentucky_National]

Alright Clippard! Let's go baby!

[GburgNatsFan]

Flores has shown that he hits better when he gets more breaks, when he's competing for playing time.

No he won't.  He's just not that good.

DEROSA!!!

[Obed_Marsh]

If I was Davey, I had someone warming up when Clip comes in. Sorry kid. You've had your head up your ass lately.

Lannan's wife calls him the Lannimal.

Who let those fans in the front row of the President's club? They really don't look the $500 ticket part.

I wouldn't.

Do freak with his confidence. He'll be fine.

Davey has said the closer's job is Clippard's.

I think the biggest fault Davey tends to have is believing in his closer for about 3 too many games. It's dangerous.

[lastobjective]

This a great place for him to regain his confidence.

[BigMeech]

If Clippard blows this save, do I put him in a full nelson if I see him in public?

[GburgNatsFan]

Sometimes it's confidence, sometimes it's competition for your job. Let's hope Davey picks right.

I wouldn't.

Do freak with his confidence. He'll be fine.

The two guys in the first row on the left are there every day  .....   even though the cat on the aisle was acting the fool last inning.

Question - What happens to Lannan now?

[Obed_Marsh]

If you do it consistently you are just a dickhead manager, if you do it inconsistently it sends a different message. You back guys up when they are struggling if they like it or not.

dont blow this tyler. we want storen.

[Lintyfresh85]

Clippard really has been pitching fine... just getting good pitches hit.

I don't think its a matter of bad pitching as much as bad luck.

Guess we'll have to see what happens.

[Lintyfresh85]

I don't.

Question - What happens to Lannan now?

I'd keep him up.  He was too good to just send him back down to Syracuse.  6 man rotation.

[nats2playoffs]

No way he messes this up, right?

Slap yourself, do a somersault, and then touch your nose, to remove the jinx.

Rinse and repeat...

Adam

[GburgNatsFan]

He probably goes back to Syracuse with more confidence and more interest from other teams.

Question - What happens to Lannan now?

Question - What happens to Lannan now?

He goes back to AAA to earn 5 million dollars.

Again, little league play.

The catcher should never go for that pop-up.
