Bacon Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 Everyone seemed to forget or ignore that by the end of the season we had been playing 107 win baseball for 4 months straight, had played a far more difficult schedule than the Astros in terms of .500+ opponents (96 vs. 63) and came out even in those games, even when our awful, injury-ridden start was factored in. My #1 regret for this season is that, despite following over a hundred of the games on gamecast, streaming dozens on MLB TV and attending two in person, I still doubted them to the very end. Years of watching them fall apart in the NLDS and witnessing countless bullpen collapses successfully convinced me otherwise, but this really was one of those great teams with unstoppable momentum. They were going to run through everything in their path no matter who believed in them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zCommander Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) With Greinke's pitch #74 in the top of the 7th inning, Rendon hits a HR and the Nats were on their way to the WS title! P.S.: Greinke was taken out after only pitch #80. Edited November 1, 2019 by zskins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 There is a game 7 on FS1 right now. Nats are down 2-1 in the 7th. I hope we come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skinfan2k Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 You know what is amazing though. I really thought the bullpen was going to blow it. I was like this storybook was going to get ruined by a blown save. The bullpen was lights out this postseason. It also benefitted that game 1 and 7 were the only tight games. If we had tight games every night, we would probably have lost this series. Rodney, Rainey and others would have to keep the lead or maintain the lead. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spjunkies Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I'm telling you guys it was crucial that Max shut them out, we're screwed with this bullpen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 (edited) i wonder what would have happened if Corbin came up to bat in the 7th. Would he have stayed in the game or would we bring in Adams to bat?? Oh wait. NVMD we are in a AL park.

This reminds me of me after game 6 when we won and i was VERY drunk and I was trying to buy tickets for game 7 (only $450 on stubhub) and my friends had to remind me the game was in Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife actually started working through pitching matchups and switches while she was watching and had to correct herself. NL is better, but I did appreciate the extra lineup help.

zCommander Posted November 1, 2019 Share Posted November 1, 2019 One of the commentator just now on MLB Network said, with 2 outs, if Soto doesn't catch that ball, that hit the end of his glove, with runners on 2nd and 3rd base this game could have gone another way. That was a huge save by Soto indeed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
