Thank goodness the Cubs hitters hack at worse pitches than most Nats hitters.

Soriano is most unsalubrious Kazakhstan tough dude.

healthy?

The Nats gave Tiger Fan a win for his birthday

Also where was this Haren early in the season? He's got like a 1.50 ERA over his last 5 starts

imref · « **Reply #335 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:27:24 pm »

so we just have to give Soriano a minimum of a 3 run lead from now on?

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #336 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:28:55 pm »

Ray still ripping into Soriano. Excellent.

i think it's pretty obvious he's a mop-up guy now. Kroll/Abad in the 7th, Clippard in the 8th, Storen in the 9th going forward.

What a season. Even when we win, we are filled with hate and discontent.

No wonder I like it so much here

welch · « **Reply #341 on:** August 20, 2013, 11:50:19 pm »

Did I read 12 hits to generate 4 runs? 14 LOB...or was it worse?

And, in closing, I say: Carthage must be destroyed, and the Nats need an offensive coach. Something more than a hitting coach. Have Whitey Herzog explain baseball to the coaches. Have the team watch "42" and think "Jackie Robinson baseball". Have Lou Brock to coach the runners. Fire the next guy who says Earl Weaver taught...[anything Earl Weaver taught].

Thank you Strops. You're. Just as useless here as you were for the Os!

Krol sent down over Abad?

varoadking · « **Reply #344 on:** August 21, 2013, 12:36:38 am »

Anyone know when this snoozer may be relpayed? Need to see if it was any better with commentary than it was in person.

Amen to that! Got to the bar in time to see Soriano give up a gopher ball and damn near puked.

Now I read Spider talking WC and damn near puked

There is a better reason to iron out the kinks in Krol than Abad

Comparative dates on which the Nationals notched their 61st win, each season:

2012 - 29th July (101st match of season)
2005 - 13th August (116th match)
2013 - 20th August (125th march)
2011 - 21st August (125th match)
2007 - 3rd September (138th march)
2006 - 6th September (139th match)
2010 - 14th September (145th match)
---
2008 - finished 59-102
2009 - finished 59-103

---

With 37 matches left in the season, statistically the best that this year's Nats can do now is match the 2012 edition's 98 wins (by running the table on those 37 matches - lotsa luck).
