Throw a ground ball and do a DP. Now ...

What ever.

Turnin' the corner.

Taylor SAVES the game. Dusty Baker should quit.

I'm still blaming the offense more than Dusty. And his moves are befuddling.

Nice play by Michael A. And what terrible baserunning.

Hell, I'll bet Solis was ready to throw up on command.

(But I didn't know that.)

No, a full batter:

" (3.05(a)) The pitcher named in the batting order handed the
umpire-in-chief, as provided in Rules 4.02(a) and 4.02(b)
(Rules 4.01(a) and 4.01(b)), shall pitch to the first batter or any
substitute batter until such batter is put out or reaches first base,
unless the pitcher sustains injury or illness which, in the judgment
of the umpire-in-chief, incapacitates him from pitching."

As usual, Nats bats are wimpy....Turner needs to sit, go watch a power point instructional video on what is and isn't a strike....reminds me of Desmond...
so many duffers no one chokes up, everyone swings for the moon....small ball not in their lexicon and Solis needs a bus ticket to Nowhereville

Kintzler to start the inning was the right decision.

yes.

Great fielder but seems to have no clue at the other parts of the game.

Michael A Taylor
here he comes to save the day
defensive wizard

Dear Cubs:

Don't underestimate MAT.

NatsAllThe Way · « **Reply #587 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:08 pm »

The fact that Cubs have 4 errors and we have 1 pathetic run is ridiculous.

skippy1999 · « **Reply #588 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:14 pm »

I see the offense kindly decided to wait for me before unleashing hell upon the Cubbies

This is the inning. You've got to open it up and let the bats fly. Have to have a big inning.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #592 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:32 pm »

Please Trea just get on base

yes.

Probably but that ball was hit hard. Hard to say what would have happened.

tenken627 · « **Reply #594 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:36 pm »

And you wonder why a manager whos had a historic playing career and has managed a team to the playoffs 9 or 10 times is sitting there available AND desperate enough to take a two year cheapo contract.

Im sure hes the greatest guy in the world, but no one wants him. None of the other 29 teams. Isnt that odd?

Optics · « **Reply #595 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:49 pm »

Shoulda been Kintzler from the getgo. freak you Solis.

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #596 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:46:53 pm »

Now we see why they didn't trust Kintzler

Honestly, I blame Rizzo for this debacle

How is Solis even an option at that point? Nice bullpen construction. Yeah, I understand that he went out and got Madson and Doolittle, but what the freak was he doing all offseason?

That would be nice for a change.

Trea just can't lay off the breaking stuff in the dirt

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #599 on:** October 09, 2017, 06:48:16 pm »

I don't think Turner can even see the ball.
