Nationals @ Red Sox, Game 2, Twilight Zone Day

[nobleisthyname]

Great start from Irvin.

[GataNats]

Amazing start from Jake.   I’m actually leaving him in another inning

[NatNasty]

Quality

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I think Slaten was Rule 5 this year.

[GataNats]

Leave Jake in.   Don’t want to see Law

[GataNats]

May be the best start of the season

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Hit the elbow guard, i think.

Run Robles Run!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Hit the elbow guard, i think.

Run Robles Run!

or not.

[Smithian]

I just posted something nice in the Robles thread before that happened. My fault.

[NatNasty]

Blunder on the basepath

[GataNats]

Robles doesn’t need to ever play

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I'm OK with Cora removing Duran and Abreu here. The righties have to stay in the game and face righty pitchers after Garcia, and their defense is worse in late innings.

[Smithian]

I thought you couldn’t assume a double play? How’s that an error?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

hairy time. Devers overdue.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

on the advance to 2nd.

and that's why cora is an MLB manager who won a world series.

Also, he cheats

[shoeshineboy]

Awful relief performance

[GataNats]

Garcia is trash

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Awful relief performance

dribbler that starts foul then goes fair, DP ball botched by the team star, an IBB, and one hard hit 2 strike pitch that might have been misplayed by the LF. Stuff happens.

Nice game until the 8th, then the Vic pickoff and the 2 weird pinch hit "successes."

[nats2playoffs]

GAME OVER. WE LOSE.



"Once upon a time, there was a major league baseball team called the Hoboken Zephyrs, who, during the last year of their existence, wound up in last place and shortly thererafter wound up in oblivion. There's a rumor, unsubstantiated, of course, that a manager named McGarry took them to the West Coast and wound up with several pennants and a couple of world championships. This team had a pitching staff that made history. Of course, none of them smiled very much, but it happens to be a fact that they pitched like nothing human. And if you're interested as to where these gentlemen came from, you might check under 'B' for Baseball - in The Twilight Zone."

Another gift from our 2024 Nationals...

Jerran Duran - is there something he should know?...

[Natsinpwc]

Have listened to the last two on the radio. Enjoyable. More so when they win. C&D we’re just a bit surprised when Davey walked a guy to pitcher to Devers.  I was a bit surprised when Vic was picked off. Well no.
