Nationals vs Cubs, NLDS Game 1

[KnorrForYourMoney]

And people wonder how some of us can be apathetic about the regular season...

Honestly, at this point, the smart move would be to save apathy for the postseason.  And I say that as someone who was apathetic about the last 3 regular seasons.

[BigMeech]

Yeah I'm not going to blame Strasburg.  The offense shouldn't have been shutout through five with Strasburg pitching as he was.

[skippy1999]

Yea this isn't on Stras, no way.

[varoadking]

Are you at the game tonight?

No...we went to NLDS game 1 three playoffs in a row and they lost every time so we thought we'd change it up.  mitlen and Bluestreak are there though...

[Minty Fresh]

I have an idea, let's create a situation where we make the players play every single day - then, right before they play games that actually mean something, we'll give them a week off.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Yeah I'm not going to blame Strasburg.  The offense shouldn't have been shutout through five with Strasburg pitching as he was.

Against a soft-tossing type?  It's really surprising we got 2 hits so far.

[NatsAllThe Way]

No...we went to NLDS game 1 three playoffs in a row and they lost every time so we thought we'd change it up.  mitlen and Bluestreak are there though...

I hope it works.

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

I don't understand blaming Strasburg for this? Maybe if Rendon makes a routine play that inning doesn't happen. Or maybe even better, the Nats could actually hit the ball...

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

7-game series or bust

No...we went to NLDS game 1 three playoffs in a row and they lost every time so we thought we'd change it up.  mitlen and Bluestreak are there though...

Not bothering the other team.

[monkeyhit]

Once you see Laz Diaz is part of the officiating crew, you know there will be trouble. What a way for a good performance to turn sour.

[bluestreak]

So if the Nats lose this game is it Dusty or Rizzo’s fault?

[KnorrForYourMoney]

Rendon did something productive

 

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

And now they're swinging at everything

[imref]

Rendon did something productive

 

Murphy looks at a ball down the middle of th plate and then Swings at garbage.

[Minty Fresh]

Not bothering the other team.

Yeah.  Two hits through six innings is really raking.

[GburgNatsFan]

And now they're swinging at everything

Except the strikes.

[Leroy Veritas]

If we somehow push if far enough to see Hendricks again, Lind needs to play 1B.

[GburgNatsFan]

Zimm is back to being three feet off the plate.

[varoadking]

Improvement from Zimm...no GIDP...

...wait...

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

This is like death by paper cuts

[KnorrForYourMoney]

freak this team

freak this team

freak this team

[varoadking]

If we somehow push if far enough to see Hendricks again, Lind needs to play 1B.

FIFY

[Leroy Veritas]

Yeah.  Two hits through six innings is really raking.

Yeah, the best pitcher in the majors after the all star break and the guy who finished 3rd in the Cy Young voting last year are really guys who should be getting slapped around in the playoffs.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Seriously everyone.....  will this team ever win a series?
