Nationals vs Phillies, Game 2

[KV]

Wow

[imref]

Crap.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Worst loss of the season.

[GataNats]

Just unreal

[imref]

It was the best of games, it was the worst of games.

[varoadking]

Someone has to say it:  Nightmare of a Season... 

[tomwvr]

Blake now should be fired - this is a crime how he manages this roster

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Oh Butera

[OfftheBat]

They’re not the ones who served up a meatball…

Well, to be fair, the owners made sure our bullpen was going to be full of "meatball-serving" arms

[imref]

Worst loss of the season.

yeah. Worse than blowing the 9-0

[RobDibblesGhost]

All after two outs and nobody on. Unbelievable.

[imref]

Get Lord out of there.

[readonly]

Can't throw little leasgue pitches to one of the best offenses in baseball.

[tomwvr]

Blake you are 3 batters too late.
Please fired this dumbass

[OfftheBat]

Blake now should be fired - this is a crime how he manages this roster

You've been saying this all game, I think you might be right but one could argue that his bullpen options are limited and are ultimately all bad

All the prognosticators - BP, Fangraphs etc, thought we had a league best roster and he's just killing a great team with his decisions.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

You've been saying this all game, I think you might be right but one could argue that his bullpen options are limited and are ultimately all bad

the guys who gave up the big hits were his 2 of his best 3 relievers.

This is the correct answer...

[RobDibblesGhost]

They’ve batted around after the first two outs were made. Holy crap.

[tomwvr]

Sure its bad but you dont keep sending the same crappy guys out. Dfa them and try others - dont just act like they will some how do the job. And then never reacting when things go bad and let the collapse continue is very poor managing .  He act like its a minor league team

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Ultimately this all falls on the dumb asses who own the team that refuse to sell while simultaneously refusing to spend money on the team. So we’ll be held hostage as a fanbase until the kids decide how many billions are enough for them to screw off.

Yeah, pretty much. Who would've guessed that Lord was going to blow this save opportunity after 2 outs...?

[tomterp]

Again, what control does the manager have over who he has available in the bullpen? 

[OfftheBat]

This is the correct answer...
