Nationals @ Braves, Game 1

[sportsfan882]

too easy. This is what a real bullpen looks like. Pounding the strike zone. A LH pitcher that can dominate LH hitters. We miss Burnett pretty significantly.

That is the weakest run-it-out effort I have ever seen by Bryce.  Hmmm.

[Mickstix]

I made one trip to Okeechobee, but usually stick closer to home (DC area).

I usually go down there once a year.. Im not big on travel either.. This year we went and the temps dropped 20* and winds up around 25mph.. 3 day of fun I tell ya!  I usually fish the St.Johns River.. Ramp is 5 mins from the house..

Great.  Now Werth is hurt... 

[HalfSmokes]

Crap

[Slateman]

Harper isnt hitting lefties like at all

That's not unusual for lefties.

That is the weakest run-it-out effort I have ever seen by Bryce.  Hmmm.

He got jammed badly so he couldn't get out of the box.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Now time for more ownage courtesy of the Braves' untouchable bullpen.

Walden struck out 3 in 1.2 IP. Now for more of the same from O'Flaherty and Kimbrel.

Yep - we can't score off either of those.  We haven't scored on O'Flaherty in nearly three years.

crap

e suck

[spidernat]

Will the Nats do something here or will they go down silently and without a fight?

He's been doing that this year, he did it at a game I was at last week, turned off early and started walking back toward the dugout before the ball made it to first.  I blame his "mentor" Werth for getting in the kid's head.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

That throw by Werth when the run scored looked weird to me in terms of his motion.  Now the ESPN guys are saying he walked off the field weird.  On top of that, there's this foul.  something may be going wrong with him.

[sportsfan882]

That's a real pitcher. Our guys are cowards.

This game is over, just like Rick Eckstein's coaching career should be.

[barelyelite]

Now's your time, Adam.

[PowerBoater69]

Look at the body language in the dugout, they've given up, no life.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Werth had a JD Drew face when he K'd

silently. They lost the game in the first 6 inning when they took in the ass from Teheran.

               BE A HERO, ADAM!!

[mach1ne]

Adam Laroche, I believe!

[GburgNatsFan]

We have about 10 hits tonight. Eckstein doesn't coach the pen or baserunning.

This game is over, just like Rick Eckstein's coaching career should be.
