October 23, 20196 yr Checked outside this morning, the sun's coming up and we get to play baseball again tonight. Flush that shit away and give it a courtesy flush too, just to be sure. If you're gonna split these games, win the second and leave home a winner.

October 23, 20196 yr This one is on me. I had probably the worst day yesterday and everything I touched went to shit. It was almost like a bad dream. I watched the game hoping to change my mood and then turned it off after the Nats went up 4-2. I realized that I can't even watch tv without it getting fucked up yesterday.

October 23, 20196 yr We need Bregman to have a Springer like turn around starting tonight. He would have put that 2-1 middle-middle fastball into the Crawford boxes in September.
October 23, 20196 yr In 2017 I felt deflated after losing game 1 when we easily could have stole one on the road to start. Game 4 was even worse when Charlie pitched his nuts off but we couldn't hit to save our lives until Giles imploded. Not being able to close in game 6 with JV was a massive gut punch especially with our game 7 starter up in the air. The game is still the game and we still have the best team in baseball. Just nut up and win tonight, no excuses. Edited October 23, 20196 yr by Alvin89
October 23, 20196 yr Strasburg has been so good in the playoffs. We need JV to have a great day. We are all still waiting for this team to snap out of it some time.in 2019. 3 more chances.
October 23, 20196 yr 8 hours ago, David Dennison said: Let's all hope Alex Bregman remembers how to hit a baseball. Killing that trade value with every whiff. Seriously, he's one of the last guys in baseball I'd have expected to seize up in the crunch. Hopefully just a passing thing, but it really needs to end tonight.
October 23, 20196 yr I think we are past the point of wondering if this team is slumping or just in a permanent slump because that is what it feels like. I think we get great JV in the WS and grienke is due to pitch a great game as well. We win the next 2 games. nats are riding a 6 game winning streak? Hot at the perfect time is what all champions do so I hope they cool off. Didn’t think I would see Cole get roughed up like that but after 19-0 since may it sucks it happens now.
October 23, 20196 yr Glad I ordered my World Series gear off fanatics and it’s gonna get here after the WS is over. I did have some incredible morning sex so today is a for sure win.

October 23, 20196 yr This is what happens with Wild Card teams. They generally come in to the post season firing on all cylinders because they had to be to make it.
October 23, 20196 yr Went to last night's game and going back tonight to help right the ship. Am posting on 713 since that was my area code when I lived in Houston. This is all part of the master plan.
October 23, 20196 yr About the only thing of relevant interest on page 281: And then Yuli hit a home run.
October 23, 20196 yr ok, keys to the world series. i'll start. 1. get alex bregman fucking going. his first rbi of the alcs was on that weak grounder in g6. he slugged .222 in the series.2. 2 stats in particular we’ve done all year we need to continue: on offense, led majors in fewest Ks and most BBs ( Nats were 4th and 8th FWIW).Need to continue that MO. Work counts and get into their bullpen in the 5th or 6th. (After George swings wildly at the first pitch from Scherzer tomorrow night, of course) 3. Get Yordan going, or get Diaz into the DH Spot 4. Get Greinke some extra BP. damn good on you surly.#1. fail#2. Push. Got in to the bullpen as early as you could expect but the 12Ks for the game was 5 above our regular season average#3. Push. Yordan reached three times but not in the most critical moment. Did get Diaz two ABs against the Nats bullpen which may come in handy later in the series#4. TBD

October 23, 20196 yr Nothing is fucked here....let’s go out and get a fucking win tonight. How was Springers hit NOT a HR?? Fuck

October 23, 20196 yr Re: The kid playing a video game; kids are going to be kids. I would guess that at least 1000 (maybe 5000) adults were also looking at their phone at the same time. I sat in the upper deck for one of the Yankee games. It seemed like 75% of the woman (& 6% of the men) in the section had to pose for photos on the stairwell landing with the field in the background. They were practically lined up between innings but a few of them were delayed into the next at-bats to complete their facegram humble brag photos.
October 23, 20196 yr Well, 44 might have gagged with the bases loaded, but I'm really encouraged by his night overall. He just needs to park one meatball to get this whole thing turned around.

A friend of mine was at Game 6 and the women sitting next to her was reading the obituaries section of the Chronicle during the game.
October 23, 20196 yr the goal here (and the goal before last night's game) is to get to 2-2. you get to 2-2, and you have a 3 game series with cole (road) jv (home) and greinke (home). it would be a lot easier to get to 2-2 if we won tonight, so let's do that.

October 23, 20196 yr What did the pay to park lots look like around the ballpark? Garages are not an option for me.

I just told a panicking buddy of mine almost the same thing: must-win tonight with JV, then split the next two on the road, then it's a short series with our three aces and two of the games at home. Bottom line: we win tonight and we're still in good shape.

October 23, 20196 yr Losing last night didn't worry me because I don't see it being a heavy lift for us to win at least one in DC. If we go down 0-2 with Cole and JV, then it's an uphill battle that will require the bats to over-perform. Seeing Alvarez get on base 3 times was a great sign even though he couldn't convert with the bases loaded. What's it going to take to get him to hit a HR!!

October 23, 20196 yr 4 minutes ago, henrygandorf said: i think anibal is gonna end up pitching g3. and i feel fine with urquidy pitching g4. Well, I am flying in for both, so I would love to see us explode.
October 23, 20196 yr I do slightly worry that we have one less bat going, which may have a greater impact on the road games. Don't we only have 4 bats on the bench to pinch hit? I suppose Greinke could pinch hit in games that he's not pitching, if needed. His lifetime batting average is basically the same as Marisnick.
October 23, 20196 yr There was just a Taubman story on this Schapp ESPN show and they interviewed Jenny Dial Creech live. Wonder what was said. No volume here.
October 23, 20196 yr What did the pay to park lots look like around the ballpark? Garages are not an option for me.Buddy sent me this yesterday. You can see the stadium in the background to get an idea of walking distance. Cheaper than I would have imagined.
October 23, 20196 yr Parking garage Preston and Austin area is a quick exit back to I 10. I used to always park there

October 23, 20196 yr Again, we need a Springer like rebound from Bregman: Hopefully we saw the beginning of Yordan's rebound last night. Edited October 23, 20196 yr by Seasick Sailor
