Nationals vs Dodgers, Game 2

[spidernat]

He had never pitched beyond this point in his entire career. 

  By that logic Trienen would never pitch beyond the 5th inning.

[Slateman]

House money is when you're winning 

We put our 7th starter out there against the best pitcher in baseball with a rather potent lineup behind him and, frankly, Treinen pitched well. Those hits were on good pitches and 90% of time, they're outs.

[Baseball is Life]

Don't be such a moron, people would like you better.

That train left the station a long time ago.

Wait,,,wha... 

[sportsfan882]

Meh, whatever, playing with house money

no. will fall back behind the Braves and the unbeatable Marlins get a game closer.

this is a terrible loss. winnable game blown because of stupidity.

[spidernat]

You of all people should know. 

[tomterp]

That's a terrible basis for making a decision ESPECIALLY in a 0-0 game!  He had never pitched beyond this point in his entire career.  There was no evidence, no data point for sending Treinen out for another inning in this situation and expecting a good result.

Who gives a crap, his performance validated Williams decision, Treinen pitched VERY WELL in the 6th.  If you had described the contact he would get I would take that anytime, any inning.  Too bad the defense sucked, how the hell to you expect Williams to anticipate that?

trailed Jose Fernandez by 3 earlier this year and won that game...heck do it again gentlemen

[Slateman]

Hitman can hit

[sportsfan882]

Why start tonight? He was making a spot start and had already gone above and beyond what we wanted. Now the outing is ruined.

There you go.

[spidernat]

Why start tonight?

Because you and PC aren't letting the rest of us see your crystal ball. It's pointless to talk to you about certain things.

[Slateman]

And Rendon is out

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Watching live from the bleachers, Rendon's hands and the ball disappeared.

The ball reappeared in left field as friction took its toll.

There ya go!    Get some !

[spidernat]

Will someone post the standings?     

[Baseball is Life]

He was safe.

[PC]

  By that logic Trienen would never pitch beyond the 5th inning.

NO!  You use other data points to make the decision.  What's the score?  Who's the opponent?

If we were leading 5-0, I would have had no problem sending him out there again or against a lesser opponent.  This was not the right time to do it.

[tomterp]

And Rendon is out

Williams' fault, should have pinch run for Rendon.

[sportsfan882]

what the freak is this crap? this team never ceases to amaze.

[mitlen]

Where the hell is skippy when you need her?    Exercising!    Geesh

[RobDibblesGhost]

Rally over. Game over.
