Bacon Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 That's Gio for you. Scares the crap out of you and then strikes out the side the very next inning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Gio really might leave this dumpster fire of a performance with a lower ERA than he did going into it. Lol I couldn't tell you how many times I've seen him pitch sloppy and come out the other side having done enough to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Gio threw like 50 pitches in the first two innings and somehow got in a quality start. Wild. Too bad the offense can't get anyone home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gott is so tantalizing because he has such great stuff--too bad he's the new Blake Treinen, who's been killing it in Oakland this year. Kelley is a gopher-ball waiting to happen. People **** about the bullpen, but the Law Firm has been really good. Since his early season stuggles, Kintzler has a 0.61 ERA, Madson has given up 9 ER this year--8 of which came in 2 outings. And Doooo, well, Dooo has been the best reliever in baseball. We need to find a better bridge to them--Solis is hit and miss (4.50 ERA, 2.45 FIP), Grace is hurt and not good. Wander Suero is a huge question. Syracuse has nothing to offer, really. Looks like Rizzo will be bullpen shopping again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PleaseBlitz Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 This is bad. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/nationals-journal/wp/2018/05/09/adam-eaton-travels-to-wisconsin-to-seek-second-opinion-on-injured-ankle/?utm_term=.6628b791d7a4 Adam Eaton travels to Wisconsin to seek second opinion on injured ankle Quote Nationals outfielder Adam Eaton traveled Wednesday to Green Bay, Wis., to seek a second opinion on his ailing left ankle from renowned orthopedic surgeon Robert Anderson, according to a person familiar with the situation. Eaton injured the ankle on an awkward slide in mid-April. The pain continues to be a concern, especially because he sprained the ankle when he tore his anterior cruciate ligament last April. Nationals medical staff initially diagnosed Eaton with a bone bruise, but the pain has persisted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan T. Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I think Wander Suero might be a solid guy in the bullpen. I was hearing a critique of him where someone said don't watch him pitch, watch the batters bat against him. They never get a good swing, because he keeps them off balance. I'm keeping an eye on him. Also, they say he's 26. He looks like he's pushing 40. I hope those Dominican records are accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'd expect some changes to the Nats medical staff this offseason. This is the 2nd year in a row, and 3rd out of the last 4 years where injuries have been an issue--not just the occurrence of them, but the diagnosis and recovery have been handled poorly.

He has a 4.38 ERA at Syracuse--but like Madson, it was 2 bad outings. He has a 2.17 FIP, he's a lefty, hits mid-90s on his fastball, is K-ing almost 11/9 right now. I'd also like to see Torres sent down. He's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 How many teams have more than 3 great relievers? Most teams are probably happy with 2-3 and just try to get by with league average at the other spots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluefood Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Pity they couldn't get the sweep but taking the series is fine, too. Phillies and Braves are hot right now, though. Atlanta's 7-3 in their last 10 and the Phillies could sweep the Giants in a four game series this afternoon (and none of those games were particularly close).

Bacon Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm probably naive, but I'm buying into Wander Suero already. He's the bridge guy we need. Great mechanics and release. And once Joe Ross comes back in August to serve as our long reliever, we'll be sitting pretty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
