Nationals @ Pirates, Game 2

[santanaf]

I blame Davey for not bunting Zimmerman there.

I blame half of the players in the team who can't seem to hit in critical situations.

[imref]

worst loss so far, lots of opportunities to win but we couldn't execute, and sloppy fielding leading to Pirate runs.  We had a gift when Bedard went down and it didn't matter.

Arghhh...

[imref]

2-0 on two wild pitches then he swings at the next two including grounding out on what might've been ball three.  it's common sense that if you are down by 2 and the pitcher throws 2 consecutive wild pitches to start the at bat then you don't swing til you get a strike

this.  I teach this to every kid I coach.  If the pitcher can't get the ball over the plate then you don't swing until you get one strike on you.

Blame the hitting coach.  Oh, we also had 11 strikeouts against a parade of mediocre relievers.

Eckstein's charts ready for tomorrow.

This was Harper's worst game since he's been up.

This was Harper's worst game since he's been up.

at least he still contributes on his worst days.  there has not been a single game where he hasn't done something positive

Last night was worse than this, but doesn't feel good that this was the result.

[zimm_da_kid]

we shouldv'e won today and yesterday

[PC]

We're getting swept in this series.  Book it.  There's more going wrong with this team than right.

So they'll lost 2-1 instead of 3-1.

[hammondsnats]

Rick Eckstein is doing a great job.

[zimm_da_kid]

Now that was a good Davey presser.   He didn't commit to anything or anybody!

[The Chief]

Now that was a good Davey presser.

Figures I'd miss the good one.  What'd he say?

Called out hitters.  He is a players manager, but it sounds like he's ready to make some kind of change.  We'll see if he and Rizzo can agree.

[hammondsnats]

Last night hurt a x1000 times worse.

[zimm_da_kid]

good talk with desi

[PowerBoater69]

Last night hurt a x1000 times worse.

Two strikeouts with bases loaded while down by a run, tonight was a pretty damn bad one.

[hammondsnats]

With Daveys recent comments it sounds like he is not the one keeping Espinosa up here, just my two cents.
