Nationals vs Phillies, Game 3

[RobDibblesGhost]

Another gut punch of a loss. Unbelievable.

[shoeshineboy]

Too bad they wasted the challenge

[imref]

It was probably strike 3. Damn.

Butera has no business being a manager. This is dumb. Good guy with a bright future but he's only here because our ownership is cheap as hell.

[shoeshineboy]

Phillies reliever pitches with no fear with a one run lead. Our pitchers throw like they expect to give up home runs.

[OfftheBat]

So much stupidity in that inning. Inexcusable. zthe bullpen is a joke, but if you are going to bring Lovelady in, why not for Schwarber
 And what was up with wasting a challenge on a ball 6 inches outside?

That was Millas' call I think, which was freakin dumb. Of course it came back to bite us in the rearend

[RobDibblesGhost]

Looks like it clipped the zone.

GAME OVER. WE LOSE.

Ribalta was pitching well. That move made no sense

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Nunez can't hit. Why is he given an AB in this situation?

no lefties on the bench tonight to PH. Nunez has been hitting the past couple of weeks.

Please, Mark, for the love of god. Sell the god damn team. Stop holding us hostage. Move on with your billions and go somewhere and enjoy life with your family. Let someone who wants to actually own the team buy it.

Millas wasted a challenge that could have given Garcia another pitch. Wood seems to have been absent the whole series and is now at 113 K’s at the halfway mark. His defense is below average and balls hit directly at him forcing him to go back are rarely caught. He should DH.

Ribalta was pitching well. That move made no sense

Ribalta threw 23 pitches tonight after throwing 17 the night before, another 27 in the game he lost on Sunday. 67 pitches over 4 days. That's a lot.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

This was Lovelady's 3rd day in a row.

I get pulling Ribalta. I don't  get going to Lovelady with pinch hitters on the Phillies bench.

Varland is your rested pitcher and sometime closer. You don't user him there, why is  he here?

[tomwvr]

Blake needs to be sent down…..
Get a real manager

[readonly]

Post game Blake finally looks a bit shaken. 

[OfftheBat]

Please, Mark, for the love of god. Sell the god damn team. Stop holding us hostage. Move on with your billions and go somewhere and enjoy life with your family. Let someone who wants to actually own the team buy it.

I wish he'd actually read our posts lol

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Really curious why Varland was avoided  the past couple of days.

That is the story of Butera and the pitching staff.

Ribalta was pitching well. Butera ignores whether a guy is settled for a push-button decision.

[BigMeech]

Just DFA the entire bullpen outside of a few.  It can't get any worse.

I’d like to know who’s thumbprints were on moving Gore, Ferrer, and Garcia out of here?

And the obvious answer is, “THOSE GREEDY BASTARD OWNERS” that would rather put a penny in their own pocket than invest in this franchise.


LET’S GO NAAAAAAAATS!!!

Mark Lerner's cheapness/greed makes Mr Krabs look like a boyscout
