Nationals vs Braves, Game 2

[Kevrock]

We're going to blow this.

Danny and Desmond need to be on any other team next season. freak those guys with pitchforks.

Lol @ desmond being on another team

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Give up a blast to Freeman and think you can get Upton out?

I know, I'm already cringing at how bad the last few years of that contract will be.

C'mon DSpan, Danny needs a pop up.   Quit bein' greedy.

[GburgNatsFan]

So two earned, right?

[Jordanz Meatballz]

I will be very impressed if Matt Williams gets the Nationals to win this game.

[PC]

Zimmermann is not an ace.

Have no clue how Matt is going to use bullpen tonight. Storen and Clip have been used a lot. Time for Barrett and Blevins to show some worth.

One

[GburgNatsFan]

The problem is Matt thought Danny was gonna get a free pass and game time.   Now we have his sorry ass in the lineup only up by two.

And one of them is on him.

We'll never see Soriano now

We have Soriano.     

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Bottom of the order is up next inning, so you probably roll the dice with Soriano or Blevins.

[welch]

Span looking grim after taking that popup from Danny. Zmnn looks back at Span, ignores Espinosa. Maybe I'm seeing more than there is, but team doesn't look perky with Espinosa at SS.

They know he has to bat.   

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Screw it. If I'm Williams I line the bullpen up as:

7. Soriano
8. Thornton
9. Barrett

And go home a winner.

[pazzo83]

The only time we've really seen Soriano in random innings that aren't the 9th (or last inning) were in spring training and...

[Natsinpwc]

Zimmermann is not an ace.

Would help if they did not commit errors.
Solid number 2?

Question for the haters. Does the win feel fulfilling when you bash your team, and their leader throughout the game? Or when we win, do you just find something else to complain about?

May I have your attention please.   Air Florida flight for Miami is now ready for boarding.

[Slateman]

Is there some reason Storen can't throw three days in a row? He's young. He's hungry.
