The Ruiz moved panned out but I can't help but think pinch hitting your last catcher, Puig on the bench, is or was the right call.

Oh well.

Everyone gonna leave now to catch the last metro train lol

tho there's lots of game to go. I couldn't really care either way who wins, was kind of pulling for LA for some reason, probably cuz they were initially losing, but now i want Nats to win just to spite Dro.

They could lose all you want though and it won't bring baltimore into the playoffs.

Fuck the Nats.

Yeah totally not choking to have won the division 3 times with 95+ wins and lose in the NLDS.3 times..twice in a game 5 at home.

Never won a playoff series

They're the reverse giants..choke in the even year playoffs

Think its actually part of a real and bigger hatred Os and Nats fans have against each other because of some old style territorial thing in baseball. Don't remember the origins but think it had to do with the market deals the Nats demanded or were signing when they moved from Montreal.

Half the fucking year I turn to MASN to watch the Orioles game and it's the Nats game cause they split MASN 1

Plus they have a shitty uninspired ballpark

And the Metro stops running to the park at 11

And they have the Walgreens W for a logo

I enjoyed my time at Nationals Park.

Can't wait for the Os to beat the Indians in the next series.

Droford hating the Nats for dumb reasons outside of the team's control.

In other news, been one hell of a game.

Also, Werth getting hosed by a mile at the plate is play of the game thus far.

1 inning almost 70 minutes..ridiculous

this might be the longest 9-inning game I've ever seen.....

Murph will probably win the game for the Nats because of course he will.

If this were JD Drew he would have inexplicably hit a HR by now.

Wonder how long Roberts sticks with Jansen.

Great at bat by not JD Drew.

worst bunt ever

Boy the bunt panned out there. No idea why they'd call that. Baker had 6 outs to work with. Go down hacking.

C'mon Severino. Hit a jack.

The idea i get. The execution was terrible.

Think Roberts has to send Jansen out for the 9th. If you're gonna go down, go down with the best you got. Right Droford?

LOL

Well, he did pull his started after 3 innings so who knows at this point. I sometimes think these managers are managing not to move on in the playoffs.

Holy shit is Kershaw coming in?

God i hope so.

Holy christ, Kershaw.....

END GAME SHILL BOSS COMING IN!

Pull the trigger Roberts. Fuck it!

On one hand i believe you have to have faith in the closer that got you here. On the other hand that is Clayton fucking Kershaw.

Hey you guys remember that Wild Card game where Buck Showalter didnt pitch Zach Britton?

I'm sticking with Jansen until he gives up a hit....

Jansen at 50 pitches.. Get him out.

KERSHAW TIME GOT TOO

Jansen has no more. Gave everything he had.

He'll be on the hook for the loss, which is a shame.....

Should have pulled Jansen a batter earlier. Was too gassed the last two batters and got lucky he didn't toss a couple of wild pitches.

Yeah he's prob one batter too late. Well Murphy is up. Let's see if Vito's prophecy comes true.

Honestly, Roberts pulling Hill before 3 innings puts him on the hook in my book. Blister or no blister.. I mean if they knew the blister was an issue, you just dont run him out there.

Wilmer Difo looking to be the hero here.

Fuck me this is exciting. And we haven't started the lcs yet.
