MLB radio today reported that based on Cashman's statement---Chapman and Miller are or will be available.
Roark was cruising through 7. I think he was pulled at the perfect time. You get 6 runs and are up 2 going into the 9th you expect to win. But that's baseball.
Also I'm going to freaking freak if I see Dusty put MAT and his big FAS forehead in the lineup again tomorrow. He kills every inning he touches like Lenny and rabbits.
The problem is that when he stops cruising, he's going to stop hard and he did. He got one out and there was a baserunner on who scored. Trusting a pitcher like Roark, who has been very good but doesn't have great stuff, to pitch in the 8th inning is very unwise, unless the team has a much bigger lead.
how the actual freak was that 2-2 pitch not a strike????
First of all, Dusty left Roark in too long. Then Papelbon blew it. What a pity after the Nats played beautifully.
omgosh Miller please please please
What evidence is there that Roark was left in too long ?
If we bring in a Chapman, Papelbon has to be released. Simply can't afford to have him around in that situation.
