Nationals vs Mets Game 3

[tomterp]

Setting us up for another Met's comeback.  Thanks for nothing, Stras.  Also, the length of this GDT.  LOL!

Everybody's at the game.

Oh, wait....

[Slateman]

Can anyone remeember the last time Strasburg's change upw was really great?

[trangert418]

Look I know major league pitching much less de BGrom is excellent, but what does Ian Desmond see when he is batting? he swings at everything

He sees the backs of his eyelids

[yokophono]

When Scherzer had his May-June run of dominance

I think the last dominant game would be Strasburg's first start off the DL against the Rockies (August 8th) where he had 12Ks in 7 innings and only gave up one run.

Matt let Stras hit for himself.  he won't pull him now unless his arm falls off

[KV]

[Slateman]

[sportsfan882]

time for this franchise to pack up and move out of town.

I mean bums like Kelly Johnson and Kirk Niuenhuis are beating you with late inning homers!!!!

The change used to be his filthy K pitch.

Well, once again Matt's chosen strategy fails. 

 

[aussienatsfan]

you have to laugh

[sportsfan882]

I mean Kelly Johnson is the biggest joke of them all and he is destroying us. Embarrassment.

Oh, I don't disagree. Sometimes there simply is no acceptable strategy.  He has no pen so he has to leave the starter in too long and hope for the best.

[nfotiu]

Shrug. Better than any other option I can think of tonight.

yep.

He just came out a little stiff and now looks to have found his groove again

[Mathguy]

Why didn't you hold it ?

It's my fault.   I went to the can.

[Slateman]

Honestly, send him out for the 9th.
