StillUnknown Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Phew. Lidge made that far too interesting. Our rotation has been RIDICULOUS so far... Offense has to back them up, I'm really not trying sweat out Lidge closing 1 run games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Omg that was a tense 9th! Good golly. Lidge needs to get his stuff together. Regardless, this staff is nasty. Nats 9 and 3...awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hail2theskins3 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Watching Lidge close reminds me of The Chief back in the day. Got it done though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hubbs Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Watching Lidge close reminds me of The Chief back in the day. Got it done though! Can't wait 'til we get Storen back. But hey, a win's a win. Another curly W in the books! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCranon21 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Offense has to back them up, I'm really not trying sweat out Lidge closing 1 run games. Yeah definetly don't want that to happen. But a win is a win..good win curly W's. The staff's ERA is falling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can I start bragging/talking ****? I work with an O's fan (one of those :doh:). I've been trying to talk up the Nats but he just keeps saying that I'm unrealistic and his O's are in 1st too. It's like it kills "Washingtonian" O's fans that the Nats are legit. They can claim all they want that they want the Nats to do good but I think they're full of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins0721 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Can't wait 'til we get Storen back. But hey, a win's a win. Another curly W in the books! Meh...Lidge pitched great to finish that inning. That was the heart of their order and his slider wasn't there early in the inning. It was there late to finish the inning and that's all that matters. I'm not dismissing having Storen, but BLidge is an above average fill-in. Storen, BLidge & HRod make for a nasty, nasty option at the end of a game. Yes, I can't wait to get Storen back... So Gio ends 7IP 2H 2BB 8K ... 92 pitches... Freaking awesome!! And it can't go unnoticed that Clip pitched a great 8th inning. These tight games are really, really good for this team. Last year, they lost most of these early on in the season. This year, it's turned around for us. Close, tough wins building some character on this team. Hopefully, it pays dividends late in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lidge will give fans heart failure. Ask any Philly fan. Saved a lot of games, but never made it look easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter how it looks, as long as he can get it done. I'd love for him to go 1-2-3 every time but as long as the result is the same I'm happy.

GoSkins0721 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Lidge will give fans heart failure. Ask any Philly fan. Saved a lot of games, but never made it look easy. Yep..He's no spring chicken either at 35 YO. He didn't have many games in 2011 (28 maybe). But I'll take him right now. His slider, when it's on, is nasty. Maybe he needs that nasty Houston heat to loosen up his arm. If so, he'll be on fire in July in DC. Honestly, this team needs to pick it up at the plate with some long balls. Zim seems to be finding his stroke, but no HRs yet. Can you imagine if we were seeing the 3-4-5-6 with the Morse of 2011 and the 2012 versions of Werth & LaRoche and a "typical" RZim season? Plus this pitching? I'm hoping it's 5 weeks away.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Has anyone else noticed that Gio, Clip, and Lidge only pitch a 2 hr 12 minute game Talk about short work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoSkins0721 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Has anyone else noticed that Gio, Clip, and Lidge only pitch a 2 hr 12 minute game Talk about short work. Gio was like a machine. At one point, Flores had to go out to the mound to slow him down because he was getting too hyped up during the inning. Good job by Flores...

GoSkins0721 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Just heard a stat on that E station about Gio: Batters are 0-31 when they have 2 strikes against him. Yeah, 0-31. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 People said we overpaid for Gio, but right now it's looking like we got him at a bargain. Like I said at the time, with our loaded pitching staff it's not like any of those young arms we're going to be used much anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said at the time, with our loaded pitching staff it's not like any of those young arms we're going to be used much anyway. That is true. I thought we overpaid too, but damn, he is worth it now and then some. On mlbtraderumors there is talk of us putting out feelers with J. Zimm's agents for a contract extension.

Yeah my stepfather actually talked to me about the game. He's a hockey fan and in 15 years I can't recall him once talking to me about baseball. But for whatever reason (*cough*bandwagon*cough*) he watched the game yesterday. He couldn't stop raving about Gio. He said he finally found a pitcher who doesn't take a couple of mins between pitches and it was so great. All our pitchers seem to work pretty fast but Gio is on another level.

KDawg Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 I love this team. Our rotation is beyond unfair. I plan on going to Frontier Field to watch the hometown Red Wings lose to the Chiefs and Bryce Harper next Wednesday night. Can't wait. I'll be in full Nats regalia.

DCranon21 Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Team's ERA after 12 games, a mere 1.91 through 12 games. That's crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
