Gameday Thread: Nationals @ Mets, Game 3 (W)

[Ryan Zimmerman]

Baerga is a ground ball hitter....I knew, this was going to be a double play.

 :x

[dotsandloops]

!!!

Gamecast just scored a run.  Is it behind or did it really just now happen?

edit: Yeah, there's a delay.

[Jerspos]

was that a brutal error anyone wathcing

[Dave B]

thankfully wilkerson did not give me more of a reason to call for juan pierre (i.e. he didnt strike out)

[Jayman77]

Can someone fill me in on what Wilkerson did?  The game tracker on CBS.sportsline is frozen.

[mjteggy05]

my question is....

Jamey Carroll is 2 for 3 on on the day and your gonna pinch hit for him?

[dotsandloops]

From ESPN Gamecast: B Wilkerson safe at first on error by second baseman K Matsui, K Kelly scored, B Watson to third.

Not much detail, I know, but that's what happened.

edit: now Gamecast is frozen too  

[Dave B]

groundball error past second base

my question is....

You know I really hope FR lets Chief Pitch you guys always say that saves happen....I forgot but this is a "save situation" cuz the Mets really suck right now and we need to take advantage of them

[Dave B]

yeah, pinch hitting for jamey is rough. maybe if they needed a hit, but dont put in a DP magnet

edit:  i mean hit for him if there are two outs

[Jayman77]

So did Baerga hit into a double play to end the inning?

Unless we scored another run (Gamecast is frozen, again), it's not a save situation.  I think we're tied (but it'd be great if we're not)

I mean its a "save situtation" in the sense that we need this game. Not technical "save situation"

[Jayman77]

Well, excuse me.  I just asked, ok?

[Dave B]

oh my god, bomb foul. charlie scared me

[Izarkrane]

Anyone else besides me feeling just immensely frustrated that Rick Short hasn't been used at all in this game yet?

I feel immensely frustrated every time Rick Short doesnt start at second base but I've been told to stop whining :cry:  

[Jerspos]

short should have ben used instead of bearga...honestly I would'nt have used a pinch hittter in the frist place

[tomterp]

Try waiting for the updates on your gameday screen.  Excruciating, plus it's hard to get any work done!

[Izarkrane]

No fanatic, I share that sentiment. Putting Carroll and not Short on Second Base is criminal, criminal, I tell you. Criminal. Thanks for having some common sense, fanatic.

[Dave B]

especially not baerga. you gotta stay out of a DP and let NJ hit. I dont usually bash frank, but that was poor

[Jayman77]

And if Baerga had driven a run, you would be singing his praises.  Goes both ways, folks.

[Ryan Zimmerman]

Nice pitching by Bergmann, he made fun of FLoyd and Wright...on teh strike 3...man both thought it was going to be a ball. Floyd almost homered but it went foul, I was like oh no...and PHEW!

[Izarkrane]

I think Baerga's a pretty good pinch hitter. I agree with that.
