Surprised they aren't doing an intentional walk to get a force at home.

Burnett = garbage time pitcher. He did this with Pittsburgh and now with us. He's fine except for when the game is on the line.

This isn't going to work. All of these shenanigans with a runner on third and no outs. This is all pointless.

I would have rather seen Batista in the game.

This nag can't even throw a strike

I hate to agree with you, but I totally agree with you.

"Jim Riggleman is having some fun." - Rob Dibble

So, that's what you call it, Rob.

Alright... now you need to do the intentional walk.

Spinman · « **Reply #259 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:16:45 am »

Nice call by Riggs!

Would be the Nats luck to lose on a wild throw back to the pitcher here.

In this situation, we probably wouldn't score but most teams are more proficient at these things than we are.

Spinman · « **Reply #262 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:18:32 am »

This is a rule they should change to speed up the game. Just pitch 1 pitch and give the guy the walk on an Intentional walk situation.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #265 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:19:20 am »

or a hanging curve ball for the loss.

jesus. horrible loss. horrible pitcher

Walkoff losses are BRUTAL.

skippy1999 · « **Reply #267 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:19:40 am »

Boooo

Lintyfresh85 · « **Reply #268 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:19:51 am »

Oh well.

Hopefully Marquis can get it done tomorrow.

Livan's gem goes completely to waste.

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #271 on:** August 08, 2010, 01:20:26 am »

leadoff walks are just so pathetically inexcusable. Pitchers should fined for that BS.

No way.

Two reasons.

One, you never know when a pitch will be bad, get by the catcher or might be close enough to swing.

Two, no matter how little, there is stress put on your arm with every single pitch. You're taking three pitches off the pitchers arm.

We have a mentally weak team.
