Nationals @ Marlins, Game 4

[NatNasty]

Blunder on the basepath.  Drink.

[Elvir Ovcina]

As my travel ball coach used to say, "That's freaking terrible.  freaking goddamn-ass terrible."

[NatsAllThe Way]

here we come!

Are you sure about that?

[Dave in Fairfax]

Are you sure about that?

Hope springs eternal in the baseball fan breast.

It says something about the state of the roster when there's nobody better to PH for Stevenson there.

It also sucks that if Turner doesn't get on, then the game's pretty much done - there's about a 500% chance they'd walk Soto to pitch to the #3 hitter.  That shouldn't happen.

Vintage performance by Max.  I just wish he can get off the hook (don't even care about winning the game).

I'm sure he's elated at being on the hook for an L after allowing zero earned runs.

[hohoho]

Meltdown is complete.

[DCFan]

Meltdown is complete.

Even MASN is getting in on the meltdown.

The poorest of at-bats by Stevenson, Turner, Suzuki. 

Max deserved better!!!!!!!

13 games below .500.  If we lose out the rest how good of a pick would we get?

[imref]

So no magical run?

Thames is a nice guy.  That's all he has going for him.  Bad defensively, runs slower than the River Thames, and a below average hitter.

so in baseball terms, nothing.  In more general terms he also has huge pipes.  Maybe he can cook or write poetry, but in baseball terms, nothing.
