Nationals vs Braves, Game 4

[spidernat]

As well they should! Same used to be true for message board moderators, too!     

[varoadking]

bad offensive performance, today.

Seriously?

[stealyerbase]

For as much as the Nats have been trying to hard vs. the Braves, you know that Atlanta knows when that worm finally turns, it could be tough sledding for them.

Amen brother, you're preaching to the choir!

[mitlen]

Just what I was thinking.

Great minds  ...  the Barves seem to be aware that the tide is turning.    I'm hopin'.

Reviewing check swings? That'd be awful.

 Maybe just for third strikes?

He's not "programmed," Bob. He's conditioned

I like the idea of getting the call right, but then games would last forever.

Nice play from Espi. Wish he could freaking hit.

Getting the feeling that Storen is going to pitch the eighth. That'd be something.

I really don't mind the delays as long as they get the calls right.

Let him close it out.     

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Let him close it out.     

Clippard in the eighth would mean a nail-bailing session for me.

Let the home plate umpire do his job or else use electronic balls and strikes. Reviews and turning the umps are slowing the slow national game down enough. Just MO

Oh my god. Roark allowed 4 hits and 3 walks in 5.1 innings in one of the most important games of the year!!! TRADE HIM!!!!

Not an ace

[Slateman]

ESPINOSA!!!!!!!!

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Another month of playing time for Espinosa

[Baseball is Life]

Hey look upton decided to play that.

[stealyerbase]

Looked like he pulled up waiting for that ball to lodge

[Slateman]

He didn't give up runs with runners on base. Nor did he throw 7 straight fastballs to a fastball hitter and whine to the media that he didn't like the way the game was called.

[sportsfan882]

Why would you not bunt your #8 hitter??
