Add "bunting" to the fundamental the next manager needs to work on, in addition to base running, fielding by pitchers, etc, etc, etc

Worst part of it is that if Nick had been running, it would've been bases loaded.

o'connor 1 out away from getting out of this jam.

O'CONNOR GETS OUT OF ANOTHER JAM!!!

nice play by clayton!

The Chief · « **Reply #28:** May 19, 2006, 08:33:25 PM »

You know, eventually we're NOT going to get out of those 2-on no-out jams. O'Connor has been good but also extremely lucky so far.

O'Connor rocks...

he's quickly becoming my favorite pitcher, besides J-Patt.

Yeah, it's a damn shame they'll probably just send him back down once Patterson comes off the DL

Tendonitis is a nagging problem that takes forever to heal. I'd keep O'Connor and let JP rest a lot between starts. If Livan doesn't improve, what does it cost us to just release him? I don't see sending O'C down, he's proven himself and won't get better in the minors. Got out of ANOTHER tough inning. THIS GUY IS CHARMED!!!

instead of cutting Livan, which is never gonna happen, i say we cut eischen and ortiz and call up Bray and keep OC

That sounds good to me! Eischen is a disaster and Ortiz leads the majors in errors by pitchers.

When was the last time we hit the ball out of the infield in this game?

Wiki is earning his bucks tonight!

The Chief · « **Reply #33:** May 19, 2006, 08:47:46 PM »

Ward misplayed that ball badly.

It would still be 0-0 if not for that mistake

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #34:** May 19, 2006, 08:55:27 PM »

Orioles 2

Nationals 0

Carpenter brought up something that I've noticed as well... we are 3rd best in the league in homers, but 3rd worst in scoring. We just can't get multiple base hits. Most of our wins come from the long ball.

The Chief · « **Reply #36:** May 19, 2006, 09:02:35 PM »

Zimmerman called out on a strike WAY outside off the plate. This ump must have a lazy eye or something.

Part of Angelos deal. Balls will be strikes against Washington. We must also be required to bring in Rodriguez as a reliever.

Thanks, F-Rod.

The Chief · « **Reply #39:** May 19, 2006, 09:16:34 PM »

Well here we go. It's slipping away. Not that we ever had a grip on it anyway.

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #40:** May 19, 2006, 09:20:16 PM »

Orioles 4

Nationals 0
Thanks Felix

30,320 announced attendance, and from the looks of things, that number is pretty close to actual attendance.

The Chief · « **Reply #42:** May 19, 2006, 09:23:40 PM »

I didn't think it was possible but Wiki Gonzalez might actually be slower than Matt LeCroy.

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #43:** May 19, 2006, 09:26:38 PM »

F-Rod now has given up 21 hits, 11 walks, and 17 ER in 23.1 IP this season, with 4 HR and 6.56 ERA.

The Chief · « **Reply #44:** May 19, 2006, 09:35:14 PM »

Oh boy, Eischen warming up. I guess Frank thinks losing 4-0 isn't good enough (or bad enough?)

Nevermind, 5-0 now.

UMDNats · « **Reply #45:** May 19, 2006, 09:36:07 PM »

why the hell does FR keep Rodriguez in there? 4 ERs in 1+ innings.

it must be because they have the same initials.

UMDNats · « **Reply #46:** May 19, 2006, 09:37:26 PM »

another hit for the O's. F-rod should be kicked in the nuts and then cut.

UMDNats · « **Reply #47:** May 19, 2006, 09:39:39 PM »

now rodriguez hits Tejada....PLEASE eject him!!

The Chief · « **Reply #48:** May 19, 2006, 09:40:26 PM »

Lots of boos. Dunno if it's for Tejada being HBP or just for Frod sucking.

tomterp · « **Reply #49:** May 19, 2006, 09:40:45 PM »

Finally Rodriquez makes a pitch we can be proud of!
