So sad. Now last year it was almost an automatic

I like Gio, but he hasn't been on his "A" game this year. More like his "D" game most times.

They'd better win tonight. This is my first GDT.

Thunderstorm just knocked out internet here, and this being Time Warner, that means about 48 hours before our internet gets fixed. No game watching for me...will follow on my phone.

He's been on his "A" game alright...High "A" Potomac...

I've missed a few of these because I've had some late work nights. I can watch while I work (and I do), but posting would be a little excessive.

I'm in it to win it today!

So. What's up with Werth?

Full workout today, if all goes well he's available off the bench tonight and in the lineup tomorrow.

He would pinch hit with the game on the line. Didn't he appear in the on deck circle for a moment in that middle game (the one he missed) in New York? Was that the game? I can't remember, but nothing in the past couple days has warranted the risk.

Gio looks to be holding the ball higher.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #12:** August 16, 2014, 07:12:24 PM »

0-2 count , too much plate to Martin.

Squab, could you open up yesterday's game thread so I can add the comparative date update? I don't like wins to be unupdated. It might or might not be a jinx.

Gio is pitching...it may already be too late...

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #17:** August 16, 2014, 07:15:20 PM »

Gio/Ramos pitch selection with 2 strikes is baffling.

Marte was sitting on offspeed there and they threw him a changeup. He couldn't put a fastball into play

Unlocked.

I miss Gio's put away curve ball

Thanks to whichever of you did it. I did the update. You can close it now.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #21:** August 16, 2014, 07:17:48 PM »

Can't put away a batter.

Gio literally does the same crap in every start. So much struggling.
