I don't get it. Does Matt really want to start the NLCS in LA?

[natsarl]

Span said his knee is feeling better than yesterday but I guess he's not quite 100% to play; the DH tomorrow likely factoring into that decision.

And who do the Mets have batting 5th? Probably a potted plant (I haven't looked at tonight's lineups, but we know it won't be Nieuwenhuis or Granderson).

He doesn't look past the game at hand...

If that's true then this lineup should look much better.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I kind of think it's the opposite, he doesn't look AT the game at hand

Look at the Mets lineup and look at ours.   They want this game more than we do.  I'm not making a judgment, just stating a point of fact.

With this Nats lineup, the chances of many balls getting to CF aren't that good.

Double headers wear me out.    I'll miss tomorrow's DH and the weekend games.   I'll be in the 'burgh for college football, pro-football and golf.

This.

[aussienatsfan]

good inning gio, his command has been great lately. fingers crossed

Granderson and Murphy are the only legit starters in that lineup.

Oh, and they could only do it on Blake Treinen and a brain fart of a game by Tyler Clippard.

Better question---does he really want to play St. Louis in the NLDS?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]
