Coming into that kind of situation in relief when you're used to starting, such a difficult spot and he locked it down. He grew from this postseason experience. I think he's going to end up being a really excellent pitcher for us as he reaches his final form. Our free agency luck with starting pitchers has been ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Corbin could suck the rest of his career and he'll have already earned his money. Its all about championships. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 BTW how about that Adam Eaton trade huh? People trashed it but I was one of the few who liked it at the time and now it looks even better. He had a legit shot at WS MVP. He was more than worth it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 We're just gonna need a statue for everyone on the team (and their families). From Rosenthal's article in The Athletic Quote “I had to have my wife drive me to the field so I could get treatment. And I was really choked up for not being able to pitch in that moment. It was my wife who just said, who just believed, ‘We know we can get through this. We know Stras is going to deal in Game 6. You’re going to pitch Game 7.’” “She said that. She believed it. And she said this team has fate, this team is meant to win the World Series. So I took the mound tonight. And I just believed she was right.” Quote The Nationals’ plan, though, was not just for Scherzer to pitch. It was also for Kurt Suzuki to catch. Including the postseason, Scherzer had a 2.03 ERA this season with Suzuki behind the plate, a 4.09 ERA with Yan Gomes. But Suzuki, 36, was dealing with his own physical issue, a strained right hip flexor he had suffered in Game 3. He had not played since then, but upon arriving at Minute Maid Park on Wednesday he told manager Dave Martinez, “Don’t even ask, just put me in the lineup.” Then Suzuki began his pre-game work, and his hip did not respond the way he wanted. He kept telling himself: You can do it, you can do it. But eventually, he had to admit the truth. “If my ego’s going to get in the way with me wanting to play in Game 7, I can’t do that. I can’t do this to the team,” Suzuki said. “Obviously, I’d love to be out there. But if I was to go out there and had a mishap because I was hurt, didn’t call a pitch because I was thinking about my hip and we’d lose the game, I’d never forgive myself, never look my teammates in the eyes again.” Suzuki walked into Martinez’s office and looked straight at him. “I’m sorry, Skip, I can’t do it,” he said. Scherzer walked in a short while later. “I love you,” he told Suzuki. “You’ve been instrumental for me all year. I got this for you.” Then it was Gomes’ turn. “I’m going to take care of this for you,” he told his fellow catcher. The allergies are really bad today.... 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 Zimm and Stras will 100% get statues. Scherz probably will too, but its a bit different since he's not a career Nat, but he'll go to the HoF as one for sure. If Rendon stays here the rest of his prime he'll also be deserving. But Zimm should get the first. He's Mr. National. And #11 should be retired the second he retires. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesnt say much, but he has that compete gene in him. He's a fighter. Just compare how he looked out of the pen early in the postseason compared to now. It would have been easy for him to tell Davey he cant do relief, but he didnt. He took that **** as a challenge 4 minutes ago, Lombardi's_kid_brother said: Well, good luck in Game 8 tomorrow.

thebluefood Posted October 31, 2019 Share Posted October 31, 2019 10 hours ago, China said: One of my earliest memories in life was attending a Washington Senators game before they left town. Having a team come back and win it all is 50 years in the making for me. My father went to Griffith Stadium and D.C./RFK to see the Senators. He was a sophomore at Howard when Bob Short moved the expansion team to Texas and it broke his heart. The Nats coming to town helped heal it but this, I imagine, will get it about as close to fully mended as can be. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
