It's really just a diet Matheny approach. Martinez gets endless opportunities, Gallegos gets pulled after a single batter. Carpenter, Fowler, and DeJong murder the offense endlessly, and in the case of the former two play terrible/lazy defense, but none of the young OFs get a chance. [Reply]

The ****ing scoreboard. Most franchises don't come back from 19-34 and I doubt even a pompous horses ass like yourself could find any other team in major league history that's had to come back in the 8thinning twice in elimination games. [Reply]

Cardinals were down to their last strike twice in the same game and still won a WS. **** the Nats resilience. [Reply]
Those Fowler and Carpenter AB’s were as embrassingly pathetic as it gets. But, no need for a knee jerk reaction. It’s only the NLCS. Your 1-52 in your last AB’s. No urgency needed. [Reply]

Yeah. The team the Nationals are playing, who did it twice down to their last strike, in the fucking World Series, and who were 11 back in late August and came back to win the WS, and who were 4-0 in elimination games.
