Nationals @ Cubs, NLDS Game 3

[Slateman]

Is Scherzer really done?

Probably. Hard to do this with a busted hammy

[KV]

It wasn't a bad throw...

It wasn't  a good throw, either. But the play should have been made.

[varoadking]

Is Scherzer really done?

Looks like he has lost all command...

[Elvir Ovcina]

Is Scherzer really done?

Scherzer got a DP ball to end the inning.  Leadfoot didn't catch the throw.

[KnorrForYourMoney]

It wasn't a bad throw...

Just because Zimmerman made a crappy play for the ball doesn't mean it wasn't a bad throw, as well

[Slateman]

Three run bomb coming up

[NatsAllThe Way]

Oh crap.  I guess he needs to be pulled.  Which means he won't be and we're about to be down 3-0

[ZimW1N]

Zim really should've caught that.

Yeah iy was obvious on the replay

[The Chief]

You'd think Contreras hit a bomb the way he chucked that bat

[tenken627]

Errors not bothering anyone today

[NatNasty]

[Elvir Ovcina]

Now please exhale, Team Chicken Little.

[natsarl]

Whew, that was scary

[Slateman]

That's gotta be it for Max. Get Tanner up. Tell Stephen he's going on short rest and have him throw his bullpen tonight.

[Leroy Veritas]

Good job getting out of that mess. Hopefully Max can get his control back and go another 3-4 innings if needed.

[metssuck]

I would trot Max back out there for another inning

[JCA-CrystalCity]

the rumors of our demise have been greatly exaggerated.

[GburgNatsFan]

I'd give him another batter or two, see if he gets it back together.

Honestly if Max can give us a solid 6 we need to take our money and run to the BP

[nats2playoffs]

Bottom of the 4th
Jay hit by pitch.
Bryant flied out to left.
Rizzo grounded into fielder's choice to second, Jay out at second, Rizzo to second on throwing error by shortstop Turner.
Contreras walked.
Zobrist grounded out to shortstop.

Um... I'm sure that would work out well. 

Max hopefully has one more inning.  I don't know if his hamstring is coming into play, but he really wasn't stretched out before the injury, so hard to imagine he could make it past the sixth, or into the sixth even.

[Elvir Ovcina]

I would trot Max back out there for another inning

He's thrown 58 pitches and despite some command issues there, he's allowed one HBP, 1 walk, and zero hits.  I can't imagine the noises on here if he gets pulled before allowing a hit and then the bullpen goes Full Storen.

[natsarl]

I’d even take Turner flying out to the outfield this AB vs what he’s shown us thus far.

[mitlen]

You'd think Contreras hit a bomb the way he chucked that bat

I thought the same thing.    "A bat flip on a walk?"

[Slateman]

Um... I'm sure that would work out well.

And trotting out Tanner after losing Game 3 will work out well too?
