[nfotiu]

Walk hurts just as much as a home run.

Oh ye of little faith.

Oh ye of little faith.

Totally

This is why the pitcher win is the dumbest stat in baseball.

[mitlen]

Damn, I thought I saw bluestreak leavin' the Park.

Maybe. I’m on train now.

It was on the danglin' camera by MASN's set up in LF.     Lookin' over your right shoulder.

[Air Desmond]

Nats are showing signs of righting the ship.

Again, props to Eaton. He had some quality ab’s tonight.

[imref]

Nice win. We caught the Mets.

I disagree here.   If Strasburg folded in the second and hit the showers, we don't win this game. 

It may be a dumb stat for forecasting future success or ability.   But it's a solid stat for measuring success and accomplishment.   Similar to how wins/losses and especially playoff series wins are a terrible method for determining the actual best team, but we go with it to decide who to give the pennants and the trophies to.

Yup. That’s where I was exiting.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I think Stras keeping them in the game deserves kudos. Cajones grandes. And just sign Rendon already, please.

I guess, but what really won him the game was Rendon’s 5 RBI. And if he had come out with one fewer out he wouldn’t have gotten the win. It’s arbitrary.
