Nationals @ Reds, Game 1

[JMUalumni]

Wow, he had a rough inning, but those last three pitches for beauties for Lannan.

[MrMadison]

way to fight, John.

the offense needs to pick him up, right this very second.

[ronnynat]

Keep Lannan in the game!!

[eagleskins]

I just have a feeling we are going to lose this game. 

[spidernat]

Keep Lannan in the game!!

I say let him go back out there for another inning.

[ronnynat]

I just have a feeling we are going to lose this game. 

It's kind of natural.

[ronnynat]

I say let him go back out there for another inning.

He's definitely the best option.

[MrMadison]

not gonna happen.

Lannan is done. his spot is up 2nd in this inning.

[cmdterps44]

I say let him go back out there for another inning.

I think Lannan can do it for one more. Manny usually lets em go one more after an inning like that, atleast ive seen

not gonna happen.

Lannan is done. his spot is up 2nd in this inning.

you may be right

[MrMadison]

like I said, the offense needs to pick up Lannan after the rough inning.

[eagleskins]

If Manny lets either Colome or Luis see the field, I'm going to flip. 

[spidernat]

This is why our pitchers nut up at certain points in games. Acta doesn't allow them the freedom to grow up! 

The walks killed Lannan tonight.

[MrMadison]

I think if Lannan's spot wasn't due up so soon, he'd stay in.

[Obed_Marsh]

Keep Lannan in the game!!

Anything but Colome! Hell I'd rather see Lopez put his money where his mouth is and pitch.

[ronnynat]

Let Lannan attempt another bunt!   Nah, I think we could have a big inning here.

[spidernat]

I don't think 3 runs over 6 innings should be considered a quality start in the NL.

[cmdterps44]

crap Flips batting and we have colome the likely guy coming in.

[nats2playoffs]

Lannan really hasn't pitched well tonight. 

WHIP 1.33, ERA 4.50 for the night.
Some of the MLB elite pitcher have gotten absolutely clobbered this year... and this week.
He's a rookie, and will get better if we get a better pitching coach.... and a MLB offense.


Harris singled to left.
 

[eagleskins]

Wee Willie has moved into my top 5 favorite Nationals. 

[spidernat]

I bet Lopez tries to go deep here.

[MrMadison]

poor Batting Average aside, I'd rather see Harris start at 2nd everyday at this point.

why? because Harris is just as bad as Felipe with the bat, except that Harris plays like he actually gives a freak.

[spidernat]

A walk would be huge. Then maybe BErnadina can make himself useful and bunt them over.

[ronnynat]

I bet Lopez tries to go deep here.

I hope. He's got power in this ballpark.

[JMUalumni]

I think also, as far as defensive is concerned, he saves a couple runs

[MrMadison]

I don't think 3 runs over 6 innings should be considered a quality start in the NL.

yeah, but as an official stat, you can't have it different in both leagues.  the standard needs to be the same, I think.
