BREAK UP THE F-ING NATIONALS

[hutch]

Wait I thought we are talking Nats here?

[Space Freely]

I wonder how the pitching staff will line up?

Has to be:

Corbin
Sanchez
Strasburg or Scherzer
Scherzer or Strasburg
Corbin

Wish Corbin was pitching at home but he's due for game 1

Any guesses for the Dodgers? I don't even know their #4 off the top of my head.

Buehler
Ryu
Kershaw
Hill

(Ryu is much better at home than on the road, but they could throw Kershaw 2nd)

[vansmack]

Given what I said below, the Dodgers made a huge tactical error tonight and gave the Nats a huge chance to win this series.  There is no excuse for not starting Ryu.

[Space Freely]

Well there goes that game. should have stuck with Sanchez

[hutch]

That sucked

[vansmack]

Did Dave Roberts know that Dave Martinez would make a similar asshat move when he decided his game 2 starter?

This is just blatant ignorance of statistics.

[Space Freely]

Well at least the Mystics won and are only a game away.

[hutch]

I don’t know...I mean we got Max and Stras for games 4 and 5

As long as they pitch complete games I like our chances

That's looking on the bright side! Also looking like about three days of rain here in DC. Who knows when we'll even get Game 4 played. If the schedule gets pushed back, that probably helps the Dodgers as Bueller, Kershaw, and Ryu get rested and ready and they can skip Hill while we'll go with Scherzer and Strasburg no matter what...right?

I wonder if anyone has compiled the collective ERA's of starters making relief appearances after starting a game in a playoff/World series. They make such a big deal out of it when it works, but it seems like it often blows up too. Corbin's appearance last night alone would blow up that ERA.

[vansmack]

How is this thread not blowing up? 

Is everybody just scared to death or something!?

As a neutral observer, I am stoked for this matchup.

[grateful]

Is this about a local sportsball group?

[hutch]

So Max can’t pitch tonight at all


We need a complete game from Stras

I'm more worried about the bats going cold.

In a hole early like hutch on his last trip to Amsterdam.
