Leadoff walk...again

...and so it goes.

Why isn't Clippard pitching? He had two easy innings last night

Therein lies the problem with Stammen, his command is very inconsistent. You can't walk Reyes there under any scenario.

what a play by marrero

[hammondsnats]

stammen had a helluva game for us tonight.  always been a big fan of CS

[welch]

what a play by marrero

+1

[Slateman]

Nice play by Marrero. Looking good at first

[sportsfan882]

Hmmm...maybe I'm thinking of someone else.  If he can keep doing what he just did, he'll be fine.  Cuz he should be good as a reliever.

I don't know, yeah Stammen should be a good reliever but he has yet to do the job and he is running out of time to do so being a 2005 draftee.

yup.  that play is so much harder than it looks, he made it look easy.  great hustle and read.

  We've still got the rest of the 7th and the 8th to get through.  He can't pitch 2 innings every night...

Severino is a chubster.

[PANatsFan]

Boy, I really like Severino

[RobDibblesGhost]

Both managers are managing like it's Game 7 of the World Series.

[sportsfan882]

Davey sucks, Coffey should be far away from this game. Loser

[welch]

Boy, I really like Severino

Say good-bye.

Wow, I hate this one-hitter relief pitching.

Deep deep benches.

3rd place is a big deal for both of these franchises.  Or at least for the Mets finishing above the Nats is a big deal.

[aussienatsfan]

well, the 1 pitch, 1 put thing makes for a long game

[hammondsnats]

haha nice work severino

did his job.

[DPMOmaha]

Say good-bye.

Wow, I hate this one-hitter relief pitching.

That's what we like to call efficient pitching.
