Its a complete 100% reset button. This doesn't apply to the Nats. Not yet. No longer buying that train of thought.

The Red Sox looked unstoppable, lost in the ALDS. Lots can happen between now and then... Indians lost 3/5th of their starting rotation. Went to and probably should have won the WS.

But its been 3 times and each time it's felt like groundhog day. We all expect things to be different but thats just where I'm at personally. I just don't buy it anymore. Doesn't really have anything to do with who they are right now. The sky isn't falling, and they are definitely a great baseball team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People want to make this series more than it is. As I recall, wasn't the defense fairly solid last year in the playoffs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a complete 100% reset button. 100% agree. The nats won the season series against 2 of their 3 playoff opponents (4-3 vs STL and 5-2 SF) and still lost those series. It's health and who gets hot at the right time. As ESPN was saying, the nats have the make up of a team that could get hot. Veterans, young stars, and nobodies who could get the clutch hit. If you're an LA or Chicago fan the last person you would worry about is Michael A. Tater yet that's the kind guy who kills you in the playoffs because, well, baseball.

Riggo#44 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 But to your point--our best hitters last year in the playoffs were Zimmerman and Werth. Murphy had 0 XBH; Rendon his .150... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigHuv21 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 No argument here, October is where the nats offense goes to die. That needs to change or Max and Stras need to do their best Randy Johnson/Curt Schilling impression. I'm just saying they have the make up similar to the cubs of last year of veterans and young talent. Just need to bring it all together when it counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 2014, offense disappeared, pitching was good, Matt Williams ruined a championship team. 2016, outscored the Dodgers, 0-3 3K with man on third and 1 out. Make any contact, really, and we win. Pitching was pretty good, just really needed a bounce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
