Nats should sue for their prospects back. Worth it to find out if the Royals knew something was up with him physically. His velocity and stuff has been there, it just doesn't result in strikeouts like one would think. His k/9 rate has dropped the last couple of years. He's hittable despite the electric arm I'm usually not one for analyzing body language, but he pitches like he's nervous as ****. Its like he's waiting for **** to go left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I'm not giving up on the season in early August, but we really needed that one with Scherzer on the mound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was just unfortunate. Wieters ripped that ball. We have to take one of the remaining two. Get Stras back, get Doolittle back. Call up Austin Williams and The Killer.

Bacon Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I got to see The Killer record a save in person over the Dodgers last season shortly before injuries started piling up for him. It was that game where Puig got pissy after being struck out and charged the mound. Koda must look like Goliath standing up there. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Glover has a 2.25 ERA with a 1.13 WHIP, 10 Ks 2 BBs in 8 IP. Williams is particularly intriguing, 1.32 ERA, 74 Ks 14 BBs in 54.2 innings at AA and AAA. Former starter who can go multiple innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 That's the thing about doubleheaders, they're almost always a split. I don't understand why we didn't play a game on Monday instead when both teams were off and we were at home Sunday while the Braves were traveling from New York.

skinfan2k Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 Braves weren’t allowed to play on Monday bc they would go under the number of days off in the yearly schedule. They are losing other day due to other rainouts and this was the only solution is to have a double header yesterday. It’s part of the players association agreement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's close to a push, I'll grant you that. But you will have gone another half-week without gaining any ground on one team you're chasing and possibly losing ground on another. Whenever you're the team chasing, holding serve is not a win. The timeline has shrunk (even slightly) and you won't have made a dent in the deficit.

thebluefood Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I know it's really hard to win both games of a doubleheader but we wasted another great Scherzer start. Would have been really nice to have two games going into today. We don't have much more room for error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're starting those three, keep it close until Stras and Doolittle get back. 4.5 is not insurmountable in a month. We play the Phillies a bunch more too.

It's a very, very slight loss because you've gained no grown and moved slightly further down the timeline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Braves have a brutal, brutal schedule, worse than ours. Just dont lose ground when you're starting 7th and 8th starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My thought is keep the Braves close right now, beat Philly, while the Braves have to play all but about 2 series against winning teams. Trailing 2 teams is difficult.

PleaseBlitz Posted August 8, 2018 Share Posted August 8, 2018 I think wins against the Braves are valuable for being wins, but not more valuable for being wins against the Braves. As noted, the Braves schedule is brutal. The Nats are fine wrt the Braves, but they need wins against anyone to catch the Phils. Gotta find a way to win one or both of these next 2.
