[Kevrock]

Yep. Trails only Papi I think.

Reachable, though. Also this is surprisingly hard to research on the internet.

I think we tried to explain this to you in April.

Nationals team record before A.J. Cole's Magic Debut Fail of Destiny
7-13

Nationals team record since A.J. Cole's Magic Debut Fail of Destiny
16-4

[Matugi]

To face Harper.

This is the only reason I can think.  It's utterly stupid to use your closer in a tie game on the road IMO.  Now if they need him tomorrow he's coming off 20+ pitches and a B.

[UMDNats]

are you allowed to be happy that the Nats won 

of course! its a win-win for me. awesome that the nats did it on a walk-off

Can we say Dan Uggla saved the 2015 Nationals?

[spidernat]

Imagine this team when we get a healthy Rendon back.

Are we getting more fans from Canada or is it the same poster under different names?

[welch]

Is that Zim's 10th walkoff HR?

Yes. Zim has more walk-offs than any player over the last ten years.

So better to keep him on the bench? 

How about this - get your best reliever innings, lots of them, in the most possible high leverage opportunities you can.  Don't save them for the moment that may never come.

Woah Tom, let's not go crazy. We wouldn't want to ruin the Save stat, after all.

Yunel...

   Sorry, you're right of course.   I keep forgetting to put the team's interests ahead of players' stats.   

[HondoKillebrew]

From now on, should call RF foul pole the Zimmerman Pole to honor his walk off history.

Not to mention the NYY middle-relief guys have been very weak as of late. Other than Miller they had a rookie in Pinder and Esmil Rogers available. Go with your big gun and hope you get a lead soon.

[Slateman]

Oh and how about that pen?

[Count Walewski]

Isn't it true that before the save stat, teams would bring in their best relievers when the situation got real bad and there were runners on base that needed to be stranded?

[Mr Clean]

Any video of the walkoff?

[stealyerbase]

So who was smoking crack at the WaPo last night that thought the O's game tonight was the game to watch?

Chocolate sauce is this year's Elvis wig.
