skinfan2k Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 you gotta be down something like 5-3 or 4-2 after 6 innings. We have to win this game against their pen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I respect your opinions the majority of the time, but this is such an incredibly stupid take. It means nothing. It's not a thing. It's a goofy superstition that flies in the face of what we did in the regular season, frequently stringing together multiple days of great hitting. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's definitely a hangover after scoring double digit runs in a single game. Not just us. All teams. Doesn't help when you have to face HOUs pitching the rest of the series.

Voice_of_Reason Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So it appears as though the Nats in the 3 game home stand in the WS might not get more than 1 run in any game. And that's just pathetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres a lot that goes into that that isnt stupid or superstition. The comment was made about how Nats were studying the hell out of the Astros waiting for them and basically caught them with zero pressure or expectations. They were playing super lose and relaxed, now the pressure is in and they are folding like lawn chairs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clskinsfan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 On the bright side this is a much faster game tonight it seems. I wont be completely exhausted at work tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 This would hurt less if the Nats weren't so damn likable. You get swept away in the fun and magic of the season and it all falls apart at the end. Maybe the public was right to ignore us all season long.

Getting a big name hitter free agent wouldnt save this, Harper wouldnt save this total collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The egg we're laying has nothing to do with a hangover. I hate this quote so much. It felt wrong then and it stings now. Exemplifies the attitude of a team that felt they had it all figured out.

Meh, I think well look back on this and say the public ignoring us took the pressure off them to get to this point. Once they started feeling themselves it was all downhill, until they ran into the best team in baseball. I dont know if they'll be back because I was wrong thinking they got past the pressure being on them thing, but this was special and they have my respect. They won more series this year then the redskins won playoff games this century, and theyve only been here in dc, what, 15 years? That's impressive.

The egg we're laying has nothing to do with a hangover. The egg we're laying has to do with 3 things: 1. Houston is damn freaking good, and has damn freaking awesome pitching. 2. The Nats are trying SO hard to give the home fans something to cheer about that they're rushing, not working counts, and just not putting together the type of "professional" at bats that they did in Houston 3. After a frustrating game 3, they put more pressure on themselves for game 4, and even more in game 5, and they just aren't coping well. They need to burn these blue unis and go back to the Red and see if they can reverse the juju. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
