Nationals @ Cardinals, NLCS Game 1

[stealyerbase]

Nobody else of course is the answer.  And next time he's due, he pitches.

He may come out of the pen before his next spot.
Hope not but just sayin’....

[Mathguy]

Sanchez has been pitching great the 2nd half of the season

I remember when lots hated the Anibal signing. That he had a fluke year last year.

And the start of the year didnt help at all.

But hes showed us wrong. All heart. Tonight encompassed all heart.

[GNatsNoMore]

One more inning boys

We got this.

I'm pretty sure that some weeny posting on a fan forum has no impact on the game, but you're entitled to your opinion.  I do concede however that the jinx fairy has a strong fan base.

There's no metaphysics in baseball.

[nfotiu]

#4 starter performed satisfactorily.

[natsarl]

On an unrelated note, happy to see a prime time start on Tuesday at home. 

[GburgNatsFan]

That Jim Beam barn raising commercial has a jarring moment in it. Black guy comes into the scene just as a looped rope appears out of the back of the pickup. Really needed editing.

[NatNasty]

Dooooooo!

Need some Flo now.

Hey now! I would rather be a jinx than a weeny

Once upon a time announcers wouldn't mention it.

Geico.
Nationwide.
Allstate.
Progressive.
Get some!

Mindfact perhaps but he's been generally pretty bad in the first inning before getting his bearings.  Not tonight of course, but generally.  I don't like him in relief, but when I consider the alternatives, maybe you have a point.

#4 starter performed satisfactorily.

our playoff rotation is the Beatles. Sanchez Is Ringo. Corbin is George. John  and Paul  are Max and Stras.

It gets overlooked because of how ridiculously good our starting pitching has been.  We take for granted that all our starters go 6 or 7 every night with at most 2-3 runs.

[Slateman]

Not a lot of called check swings

[sixthree175]

Doolittle's going to have to earn this one.

[natsarl]

Also this game is giving us a view of most of their bullpen too.

[DCFan]

Not sure what the talk was about, he's been a superb pitcher for most of the year.  He should pitch in turn.

What are you dense? Wnff.net.

2-3-4

[Natsinpwc]

Another good AB for Eaton.  Maybe he is out of his slump.

[Greg_SRT]

Good AB Eaton

[natsarl]

Would love a solo HR here.

[stealyerbase]

Let’s get tacky!

[hohoho]

Genius analyst suggests walking Rendon.
Says no fear.
