Never change Dusty, you big dumb oaf. He came out to start the 7th at around ~100 pitches, walked the first 3 batters and gave up a 2 RBI single before being taken out too.

I'm sure they'd like to clinch HFA

I'm sure they'd like to clinch HFA

They were 4 games back in the loss column entering the game tonight, that very likely isn't happening despite the LOLDodgers recent suckage.

Plus, they've got HFA in the only series they're guaranteed to get and there's a decent chance that the Dodgers lose in the DS which would give the Nats HFA in the NLCS anyway.

Yeah on top of making sure your guys are in as best shape and rested up as possible going in (pitchers and your ace, especially)

I mean they do play 3 games in Washington against them this weekend. Anything but a sweep would really harm their chances but they still have a shot.

Wow. Votto just got thrown out at home on possibly the worst send I have ever seen. Took the Reds out of a potentially good inning.

Indians down to their final 3 outs but just down 1 run to KC

 

Lindor ties it up with an RBI double

[Bull]

Indians win again.

So the Nats are 4.5 back of LA and have a 3 game set coming up. Is our path through the playoffs easier facing LA in the 5 game series and WAS in the NLCS or the other way around? I think its best for us to face LA in the 5 game series. That gives us 7 games to exploit the Disty factor and gives us a game or two of no Strasburg/Scherzer. Go Nats i guess?

Bring on any and all.

If the Dbacks survive the Wild Card game I have a bad feeling for whoever they play in a 5 game series.

 

Godley - Ray - Greinke - Corbin with that offense is pretty scary.

Eddie J. gives up one in the 1st and five in the 2nd. Dodgers already up 6-0 oin bottom of 2nd.

 

How does he still collect a paycheck??

I'm trying to figure out how he can get pivotal innings in the NLDS against the Cubs.

VBs up 2-0

[UMFan83]

And the Marlins tied it

[TMan92]

It would be so MLB to give the Brewers three home games and suspend WIllson. They are playing a football game in Tampa. Is Miami still that bad?

Pretty sure there was some damage to the stadium in Miami.

Eric Thames solo homer VBs 3-2

[TMan92]

Mattingly should leave his reliever in a little longer

[UMFan83]

This will be 6 of 7 for the VBs
