Oh well. How come you can't adjust the rotation? You can alter the lineup.

Because they have to have a certain amount of days off between starts.

Huge hit Schneider!!!! I can't believe those phucking phillies didn't walk him to face Jason.

you are 100% right - and you can be sure that the fans in Philadelphia will be talking about that decision all day tomorrow. Someone will challenge Manual to a duel

nats2playoffs · « **Reply #105 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:43:02 pm »

It's surprising to hear that Schneider is LEADING the Nationals in RBIs with 10.

spidernat · « **Reply #106 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:43:56 pm »

That should've been caught.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #107 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:44:12 pm »

Why Jason, why?? 0-2 count and he throws it right down the middle to Utley. Resto dropped it too

spidernat · « **Reply #108 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:44:31 pm »

Tough play but it should've been handled. 0-2 count too!

nyexpofan · « **Reply #109 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:44:54 pm »

Restovich could have made that catch

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #110 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:44:58 pm »

I really hope anyone but Restovich would make that catch with ease.

Walks Howard... wtf, come on Jason

nyexpofan · « **Reply #112 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:46:32 pm »

good walk

Agreed. We have 2 outfielders who have not played a full year in the majors. But we saved $10 million.

C'mon Jay, THIS is when it counts! When you're tiring (82 pitches.)

you cant give in to Howard - thats a smart walkbut you have to pitch smart to Burerell

This is why we are the "Lowly" Washington Nationals.. What a bunch of ****. Bergmann was pitching lights out and then just decides to start walking batters and throwing hanging breaking balls to good hitters.

nyexpofan · « **Reply #116 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:48:43 pm »

i guess that wasnt a smart pitch to Burrell

He had Howard 2-2 in the count. He had gotten Howard out all night and there was no reason he couldn't right there.

Do we really want Ray King back?

No, I wish he stayed on the DL all season. Well Bergmann hung another freaking breaking ball but this time he got lucky.

nyexpofan · « **Reply #120 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:52:16 pm »

he was ahead 0-2 to Utley: what pitch did Bergmann make on that double? What did Schneider call for? Will this be discussed by St. Claire?? FUNDAMENNTALS

kimnat · « **Reply #121 on:** April 24, 2007, 08:52:37 pm »

At least he closed the inning w/ us still in the lead. (barely)

Sometimes you just miss your spots or your breaking balls don't break the way you need them to. The key is to take advantage of a pitcher's mistakes when they make them. Good teams make teams pay for mistakes. The Nationals struggle to make pitchers pay for their mistakes. They usually foul away those pitches.

Where's the Chief predictions? I assume he says 3 groundouts.
