Author Topic: Nationals @ Cubs, NLDS Game 3 (Read 39451 times)

For starters, I don't think Roark being brought in unexpectedly to relieve is going to work out out well.

Also, most starters tend to suck on short rest. I'd rather have Roark tomorrow than Strasburg anyway.

Gio for game 5 is a downgrade over strasburg.

That chain of events decreases our chances of winning games 3, 4 and 5.

Turner needs an assistant batting coach.

If Max can get us through here I think we win this game... just a hunch

This has been nothing short of a disaster for Trea Turner.

I understand the concept but if the kid needs ear protection, he should be at home.

It’ll be important for Max to have a shut down inning.

First pitch 3 feet over the strike zone... don't see this being good.

Tanner is downgrade over Gio and Strasburg

The hammy is bothering him. Need to get someone up.

It's in his head now. Just like when a kicker misses a gimme and goes to crap after that.

A field goal kicker would have been cut with 11 misses in 2 1/2 games.

One wide, one deadly. Repeat.

sad to say, but you are on to something. He is not swinging normally. He is a better hitter than this. HE does not swing and miss. I hate to say it, but he's not contributing at lead off in the playoffs.
