Nationals @ Pirates, Game 1

[tomterp]

And guys pa is a nice place taxes are much lower

 

PA is probably the least tax friendly state in the union.  They have the most utterly byzantine tax structure, it's a nightmare to be in legal compliance.  Companies absolutely seek to avoid having tax nexus in PA because you're sure to be embroiled in a bureaucratic morass.

And by the time you add all the taxes and fees up, all the townships and counties and tax districts and every other tax levying entity there is, the total is pretty damn high.

The Nats have had 21 games in which they scored 3 or fewer runs.    And some of that took place when they had Zimmerman, Harper and Laroche in the lineup.

That can't be. I was told we're a supreme offense with them in the lineup.

Yeah that's what I find funny. The team was struggling with those guys still healthy too. They will be no miracle workers. What you see is what you get.

You must not live in Maryland where taxes are high and they have a very generous welfare program that has people living in million dollar condos on the bay being paid for by taxes

This is brutal to watch. Just awful. long ball coming

[EdStroud]

Explain to me the timing of his getting pulled please.

He throws a pitch that the batter just barely gets a little piece of, so little he chops it off the ground towards second.

Why at that moment does Treinen need to go?  He induced a weak grounder, just what you want.  You think he should have allowed the batter an extra millimeter of bat surface contact?   

Maybe these two things. 1) Treinen had already walked 5 batters and had runners on first and third.  Leave him in and there is a higher possiblity of a walk loading the bases.  Bringing Barrett in he would have the freedom/room of pitching to the first batter he sees and not have the pressure of a walk forcing in a run.  2) McCatty told Williams Treinen was done.

Also for all this talk about PA, their alcohol sales laws alone should discredit them from statehood. Not to mention rural parts of the place feel like you're a deformed banjo player away from living Deliverance.

As a Nats fan and a frequent gameday thread poster you're automatically a member. You just need to embrace it.

There was a story in the sun two years ago where there was a whole condo on the bay in Annapolis being used as section 8 housing hell one lady bragged about using her funds to go on a cruise every year since her million dollar condo was free. I'll try to find it
