Nationals vs Cubs, NLDS Game 5

[Natsinpwc]

The bright side is they won't get to be swept by the Dodgers.

freak Scherzer...

Worst part is next year when we're about to choke again is all the idiots will yet again be saying "No way, this year is different, you guys are horrible fans for not believing."

Don't forget "Max will save us on two days rest". It's just like a bullpen session. Hah.

The Wieters breakdown this year was really bad. Loby needs to be gone and they should just use Severino as starter. He can't be any worse offensively than Wieters. And Wieters is broken down defensively. Let him be the backup.

freak Scherzer...

freak Dusty. He had no business being in the game. And freak Werth for not catching those balls. And freak Wieters for being Wieters.

[GoodOmens]

Awesome. So lesson learned - Nats should just smash all catchers in the face mask

[mitlen]

We all knew that Gio cat was a pusillanimous mother freaker.    Not to be disruptive but the leadserhip of this forum needs to sort this crap out and delete 'em.    Ain't no first amendment in here.

Yep. Yep. And yep.  We should've won this game

Maybe the catcher should have stayed back like he is supposed to do.

Ray's not a happy man

[Natsinpwc]

I expect another division title.  Followed by heartbreak again next October.

The game was lost when they decided to trot Gio out there for an elimination game. And then left him in there when it was clear he wasn't pitching well at all. Dusty proved why nobody else wanted to hire him.

[Frau Mau]

Well, mistakes on both sides, true, but it was a nail-biter. Nobody can say we went out like nages.

Aside from the game, it was really good to 'see' so many of you folks that I haven't in a while. *Try* to have a good night everyone.

'Til next season...

They might as well let him manage. Or Johnny.

[tenken627]

Its so painful to lose this game. A new type of painful

[Leroy Veritas]

Maybe the catcher should have stayed back like he is supposed to do.

Yep, and the ball was past him long before the backswing hit his mask. Maybe stop the damn ball instead of immediately crying to the ump.

Good.   I'm not a happy man.

GAME OVER.

WE LOSE.
 
Losing pitcher of record

It seems they would have been better leaving Gio in rather than Max as hard as it is to say that. I am baffled at not using Roark instead.  Then you use Max late in the game for a batter or two.

The O's got us again!

[bluestreak]

Congratulations, Slate. The Nats Lost

[Natsinpwc]

He used to be good defensively. I guess he is just broken down. Throwing the ball to first when you have no chance was also dumb.

[Natsinpwc]

The O's got us again!

An Angelos plant for sure.
