Nationals @ Mets, Game 3

[pazzo83]

Maybe Fister caught the flu bug

He got 4-5 outs that inning. I'm listening on the radio, but I hope he doesn't look as bad as you all are saying.

He looks fine.  His three bad pitches were the ones to Granderson and Flores for their first 2 runs, and then Lagares's base hit to start that last inning.

Charlie and Dave say Soriano is warming.

Glad to hear it

Cabrera looks lost. Tons of popouts.

[Slateman]

Cabrera working himself out of the slump. Making decent contact now.

Good time to get some backups in to the game. Would like to see Souza and Taylor please

[CALSGR8]

Pizza Pizza!  OOPS!  Wrong Company

[mitlen]

I really like Lobaton.

[sportsfan882]

Schierholtz? Why not Taylor or Souza or someone like that?

[Slateman]

Telling you guys, Lobaton making a bid for the playoffs. Honestly, it might be a good idea to keep a third catcher on the roster.

[Slateman]

Schierholtz? Why not Taylor or Souza or someone like that?

Because they won't be on the playoff roster

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Schiersuckz to the plate. I'd prefer Frandsen in this spot.

[Optics]

Once we clinch Im sure well see more of the young kids get ABs.

[Mathguy]

I would have liked to see Tyler Moore

Schiersuckz to the plate. I'd prefer Frandsen in this spot.

[mitlen]

Because they won't be on the playoff roster

This.   It's a post season thing.

[Slateman]

Sac bunt, nice

[sportsfan882]

Barely gets the ball out of the box. He's really bad.

[Slateman]

Once we clinch Im sure well see more of the young kids get ABs.

Yes.

[Slateman]

Barely gets the ball out of the box. He's really bad.

Was this not the bunt you were looking for!?!?!?

[sportsfan882]

Because they won't be on the playoff roster

I definitely don't want Schierholtz getting the big ABs for us in the playoffs. Odd that he's just being handed the job.

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Barely gets the ball out of the box. He's really bad.

This guy can't make the postseason just because he's left handed. That's negligent.

[pazzo83]

Schierholtz sucks.

[pazzo83]

How did that guy have 21 HRs and 88 RBIs last year?

[mitlen]

Dodgers 5-0 over Giants

[sportsfan882]

This guy can't make the postseason just because he's left handed. That's negligent.

Apparently Rizzo has already decided it. No other LH batters on the bench.
