Nationals vs Mets, Game 2

[Lintyfresh85]

This guy's got nothing.  Go yank him now or it's over. 

A bigot is always a bigot.

[spidernat]

Is it just me or does Maya look odd on the mound? Like it's some chump off the street that doesn't even fit right in a baseball uniform. 

[Lintyfresh85]

Well, he made Pagan look silly there.

[bglide]

Good pitch there. 

[Lintyfresh85]

What pitch is that? They can't touch it.

[nats2playoffs]

K

[Lintyfresh85]

Settling down a bit.

[bglide]

Wow, the Mutts lineup is worse tonight than any we've ever trotted out there.  Absolutely no excuse to lose this game. 

[PC]

I'm curious, what the scouts liked about him?  Did they ever see a performance like this in Cuba?

[Spinman]

Would the batter be out of Ramos trips over the batters bat that he threw in fair play?

[NatsDad14]

Bust after the first game? This lineup is worse than any of the lineups Maya faced in AAA.

[Lintyfresh85]

I'm curious, what the scouts liked about him?  Did they ever see a performance like this in Cuba?

Well, Ray said Rizzo told him four different Nats scouts have seen him pitch over the years and all said they should sign him.

I'm sure they know what to expect from him.

I agree with Knight.   There's a lot going on.   Give it time.

[Spinman]

He never pitched like this in AAA. I saw the games. He always kept the ball down. Nerves, got to be Nerves. If not... Rizzo is Nervous...

[JMUalumni]

+1, he looked tentative and nervous to start the game.  He wasn't even coming close to where Ramos was setting up.  Some of that might be all the movement on his pitches that Ramos probably didn't anticipate, but some of it looked like nerves.

[Potomac Cannons]

Double switch ?

If you ignore eagleskins he goes away.

[Lintyfresh85]

This guy isn't getting over 88... they should be teeing off.

Let's not wait till Inning 4, ok?

[mitlen]

If you ignore eagleskins he goes away.

Sorry, my bad.

[natsfan4evr]

I just got in...an RBI hit by the pitcher in his ML debut? Hopefully it's just nerves, because this was not the outing I was expecting to come home to.

[bglide]

Rolling over for a career minor league bum. 

[mitlen]

Imagine the sh** this cat has on his mind (Maya).

[spidernat]

Would the batter be out of Ramos trips over the batters bat that he threw in fair play?

Yes.

[Lintyfresh85]

I like his changeup, or splitter, whatever it is.

[Lintyfresh85]

Ump isn't giving him much, either.

[PC]

Did he come over in raft?
