Braves TV broadcast has basically spent the last 30 minutes saying that its almost expected that the Nats bullpen will blow a lead.

freak the Braves and their announcers. Their pen sucks almost as bad.

[DCFan]

We got this.

Is it over three?

You don't have a prayer with this one... 

[Natsinpwc]

Is it over three?

I think it’s over 30.

[Slateman]

Doolittle has been shakey and started messing with his delivery.

Yeah, then why the freak is their W-L record so much better?

[Natsinpwc]

Better lineup. By far.

Their bullpen sucks.  You saw it tonight.

[Mathguy]

Besides the bullpen, the Nats have left many on base and not driven in runs when it was possible.  The Barves may have had more success this season.

Yeah, then why the freak is their W-L record so much better?

[bluestreak]

Also, if you really want to maximize win percentage, Doolittle should be pitching the 8th.

[skippy1999]

We saw the Barves double a team tonight, worst bunch of cry babies I’ve seen

[UMDNats]

It's a fact that Atlanta is the worst major city in America.

And no, Detroit/Cleveland/etc don't count.

This is a bad take.

[Slateman]

Because almost as bad means their relievers ERA is almost 3 runs less than ours

[skippy1999]

This is a bad take.

Agreed.

Who’s doing the radio broadcast in Dave’s place?

This is a bad take.

Pete Medhurst of 106.7 and Navy football PBP.

Ok they suck but not almost as bad. Then nats are off the charts bad.
