Nationals vs Phillies, Game 2

[sportsfan882]

Mets win again, Nats lose again. Mets only 1 game back despite the Nats' "hot start".

[aussienatsfan]

wow that wasn't a strike not that i care

[Mathguy]

Oh don't do that - there hasn't been enough nagin' by PC yet

Speakin' of which  ...  mods  ....  lock this thread when the game's over.   It deserves no longer life.

[NatNasty]

At least tomorrow can't be any worse

[RobDibblesGhost]

Wow, our offense consisted of a bloop double and a bunt that was barely beat out. Just wow.

[BrandonK]

wow that wasn't a strike not that i care

Terrible calls all season. Get rid of those blind bats and go all digital. Screw it

[RobDibblesGhost]

I Do

How'd that work out?

[BrandonK]

At least tomorrow can't be any worse

A no-no and 16 runs, a la the Cubbies, isn't worse? Could happen

yeah it ain't going to last long

[nattily attired]

Once again these clowns couldn't care less about winning. Just keep collecting your immense paychecks and that's all that matters. Highway robbery.

[nats2playoffs]

pathetic offense

GAME OVER.

  WE LOSE.

[nattily attired]

Harp probably dying to leave this collection of stiffs.

[NatNasty]

Yeah, but with the 4:00 start it would be out of hand by the time I got home and I wouldn't have to watch.

[sportsfan882]

dear god. He's sucking off Jeremy Hellickson in the post-game presser a la Matt Williams.

[sportsfan882]

nice dig at Rendon at Taylor 'Not everyone can hit it front of Harp and the guys hitting in front of Harper still aren't hitting anyways.' after being asked if he will shuffle the lineup

[ZIM4MVP]

Taylor, Werth, Espinosa.  Release one, trade one, kill one....GO

[Mighty Casey]

Rendon, at his current rate of RBI 'production', will finish the season with 8 RBIs....wow....
Zimmerman has clearly been taking AB lessons from Desmond, diving for every kind of dogshyte pitch in the dirt while watching strikes...
Werth still has his rusty gate, powerless swing....
Espi his usual unproductive self....
Taylor needs to be on a bus to Syracuse today....first pitch hacking by a sub .200 whiffer should be punished, not tolerated...
Lobaton is lost...
Ramos is Mr. Grounder to the Infield
Murphy is trying to play 'Beat the Ump'...

Only Harper is consistent.....the rest are just plain bad....the Nats will soon occupy third place, where they will stay and rot for the entire season....

[RiotAct]

Wow, our offense consisted of a bloop double and a bunt that was barely beat out. Just wow.

Well, let's be fair now.  We were facing a Cy Young winner in his prime with Hellickson.



 

[tzinc]

at some point the lack of hitting is going to have to be addressed

revere and ramos help

but you need more than that

they rolled the dice on last years people

teams will just walk harper

[Mighty Casey]

almost every team would come out ahead by walking Harper...who can hit behind him? Or in front of him? Do teams fear Zimmerman for some reason? Just toss him low, outside garbage and he's done. Even if the bases were (miraculously) loaded, walking Harper would be cheap insurance.

I can hear the doomsday crowd screaming "The collapse is Here! It is now!"
