Nationals @ Giants, Game 2

[NoShoesNoShirtNoDice]

Oddly enough, I got my invoice for playoff tickets in the mail today.

For what team?

[BrandonK]

Why do we think Fister will be any better?

Guys, I'm not going to say I told you so anymore. Matt should be fired after the game tonight and leaving Max in is the final straw.

Throw it in the dunpstwr fire

wow Matt Williams doesn't even care. Should have pinch hit for him last inning. He clearly does not have it tonight.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Im going to say "no" only because Rizzo doesn't want to admit his mistake.  The only way he gets canned is if old man Lerner tells him to. That could lead to Rizzo quoting.

I completely agree.

[Matugi]

Max Scherzer during his Cy Young season averaged 6.8 innings per start.  Last year he averaged 6.67.  This year he's averaged about 7.1, and before the last two starts it was around 7.2.

[GburgNatsFan]

Hard to imagine him being worse.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I recall differently 

Oh Max, I used to like you

[sportsfan882]

It is going to be so awkward to play out the last month and a half with the team totally out of the race. When will the team finally admit that it is over and that this was an embarrassing collapse?

[BrandonK]

Hard to imagine him being worse.

Do you not remember his first appearance?

Someone needs to ask Williams, "From what you saw tonight, does Max look healthy to you?"  When Matt starts his BS, he/she needs to say, "The performance you saw tonight, THAT was the performance of a healthy pitcher?"

He cares he's just freaking clueless, I think it's beyond him to realize his $210 million dollar man would serve the team better sitting his ass on the bench after 2 innings.

MW reminds me of the Seinfeld episode when Costanza was trying his best to get fired from the Yankees.

It worked for Strasburg so that means Matt won't do it

[skippy1999]

I recall differently 

Ok I should've phrased it "I had finally started to like you"

[varoadking]

If I were Papelbon, I'd want that $2MM back...

"We're payin' him to play, hoss. Gotta look to tomorrow."

[aussienatsfan]

Everything hit hard its not like hes being babipd its just a total tragedy

[PC]

Damn, Scherzer is scheduled to pitch in Colorado....

[GburgNatsFan]

I'm sure he'll speak up to the press soon.

If I were Papelbon, I'd want that $2MM back...

[Matugi]

Damn, Scherzer is scheduled to pitch in Colorado....

Not unless he hits the DL.  Then we can see Taylor Jordan

[skippy1999]

Yea he's got to be thrilled, not getting any closer to Mariano's record with this clown show of a team

[rileyn]

Why do we think Fister will be any better?

That's not the point. The point is to save Scherzer from throwing more pitches.
