Nationals vs Cubs, NLDS Game 1

[NatsAllThe Way]

National embarrassment.  Dusty being completely out-coached again.  We have a regular season team and regular season manager.  Winning the division is the Nats World Series.

Huh?  How on earth is this dusty being out managed?

[Minty Fresh]

I'm pretty sure we're playing the team he's going to end up on

Dodgers.

Bottom of the 12th in Cleveland.

Outside of starting Werth Idk what Bakers done to be out coached

He should have used Lind and the weird wuss just has our freaking number.

[The Chief]

I know it's early, but I need to get this off my chest:

I'll never truly believe this team can do it until they show me otherwise, and that's how I've felt every day for the last 5 years.

Cubs fans in the park have found the K cards and are waving them with impunity.

Ughhhhh

[Leroy Veritas]

He's had 1 meaningful tactical decision to make and he didn't use the best pinch hitter on the team.

I'd still agree with the regular season team theory.  It's hard to argue at this point.

I believed I really did...until the past couple innings

WNFF gonna WNFF...

As they explained Kendrick had more success against Hendricks than Lind against Duensing. It was the correct decision.

The old joke in Chicago was that if the Cubs played in the Philippines, they'd be known as the Manila folders.  Thinking the Nats may have bought that franchise.

[tzinc]

other than Werth Dusty done nothing wrong like the Caps this team just chokes in playoffs and Front office wouldn't add stud players...

This.

+1

Tired of excuses.  This is hardly any better than the early years.  We've won the same number of playoff series in 2012-2017 as we did in 2005-2011

Sorry you've been so disappointed Chief - I'm willing to forget the past as the postseason goes on

10/12/12 was the last time I believed.

[imref]

Horrible play by Werth.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Of course it falls in.  Curse.

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Of course it stays fair

[ZimW1N]

They would have just brought the lefty in for Lind. Plus, Kendrick has good career numbers against Hendricks.

[skippy1999]

yea and Howie's been great for us.

[Mathguy]

What's the score ?

Bottom of the 12th in Cleveland.
