Nationals vs Phillies, Game 3

[RobDibblesGhost]

  I can't believe people actually believe this crap

I’m fine with the homer. I freaking hate it when our relievers nibble and walk multiple batters and let the game get out of hand that way. Whatever.

I don't know what Martinez told Strickland, do you? Strickland seems the kind of guy who would do his own thing anyway. This board gets fired up (and rightfully so) when a reliever walks guys. Harper isn't Babe Ruth... Strickland just got beat!

Uh ... all Martinez has to do is signal intentional walk to the home plate umpire.

When the count went to 3-0, Martinez, who was fast asleep, should have put up 4 fingers.  Full Stop.

I'd prefer a 2 run lead with a man on first (having been walked, let's say) than a 1 run lead and nobody on base (all assuming no outs).

Sort of a playoff atmosphere. And some scoreboard watching, too.

Adams looks bad.

Hudson warming.

Some pitchers lose their control/command after pitching a (not so) intentional walk. If you walk him then the tying run comes to the plate. As noted, Harper is NOT that good.

Greatest hit in the history of the world. FP

Does that stand for Paulsen?

more bad luck

We have displeased the BABIP gods

He's a real pitcher who throws strikes.  He fails in that situation 50% of the time, though.  Flip a coin.

Way too logical for this board.

Don't know what's going to happen in this game, but it makes my year that the Mets, Phillies, and Cubs are all big losers in 2019.

Adams looks bad.

Working on his golf swing.

[mitlen]

Working on his golf swing.

That swing on the second strike looked like some kind of wedge.

[Slateman]

Zim shaved inbetween games

[spidernat]

Working on his golf swing.

He only has one week to get ready for the golf course
