    Glad we saved Justin Wilson to protect a lead in the 8th that we don’t actually have.

    Justin Wilson hasn't pitched since Saturday, if you really insisted on a lefty. That’s what I was wanting there or just bring in Chavez I would have rather had them just leave Chatwood in, not that it’s really saying much.

    I’m sick of Nick Ahmed.
  4. soccer10k
    Fixed.

    Seeing Avila’s ball go out but Schwarber’s die before the track is extremely annoying.

    Thought Chatwood was actually going to go 2 straight innings without walking a guy. So much for that.

    So the Nats are 50-51. For comparison, last year the Cubs were 54-47 after 101 games and had "woken up", having won 11 of 13. To get 95 wins, they would have to go 45-16, which is a 119 win pace. To get 90 wins, they would have to go 40-21, which is a 106 win pace. To get 87 wins, they would have to go 37-24, which is a 98 win pace. To get 85 wins, they would have to go 35-26, which is a 93 win pace. Since they went to two wild cards, the lowest win total to make the playoffs is 85, from the Twins last year. In the NL, it's 87, done three times (Rockies last year and the Mets and Giants in 2016). Right now they're 7 back of Philly and 5.5 back of Atlanta, who they're also behind for the second wild card. They've got 7 left against Atlanta and 9 against Philly. Bare minimum they have to win both series, if not 5-2 vs. Atl and/or 6-3 vs. Philly. They've also got 12 games against Miami and 9 against the Mets left, though Philly has 21 combined and Atlanta 17. I wouldn't be surprised if 88 wins is enough for them to either win the division or snag one of the wild card spots but they're running out of time and they're going to have to play at around a 100-win pace the rest of the way to make the playoffs.

    Son of a bitch.

    Hold on to your butts.

    Wish Addison wouldn’t have swung 2-0. Changed the whole PA.
  12. soccer10k
    Didn't see that result coming.
  13. soccer10k
    Zero faith in Almora here.

    Drop Cespedes Add Hoskins

    Cool. Don’t need to watch any of this one.
  16. soccer10k
    I’ll take picking up a game on the Brewers and Cardinals every weekend. I was about to say “the two teams closest to us in the standings” but then I saw the Pirates won so the Cards are in 4th now.
  17. soccer10k
    At least make them hit the horsefeathering ball.
  18. soccer10k
    Willy missed a meatball on the first pitch and it was downhill from there.
  19. soccer10k
    Four pitches, all out of the zone, and Javy strikes out.

    If Lester regresses like his numbers say we are really screwed. He will regress (or is regressing based on his last couple starts) but hopefully its to around a 3.50 ERA pitch and not a 4.20 ERA guy. Hendricks I'm not sure how to feel about. It's not like he's lost his stuff, it seems like he has lost the command of his stuff. He will either get it back and go back to being a solid #2 starter or he wont and continue to fade to a back of the rotation guy. If the rest helped Q's shoulder he should be fine and able to live up to expectations. The rest is a mess. Monty has been awful his last 3 starts, Chatwood is a lost cause and I've given up expecting Darvish to come back this year...if he does great. Yeah its quite a mess overall Looks like some of that Lester regression is coming today.

    We’re going to laugh at that solo home run in a few hours after we win 7-3.
  22. soccer10k
    4.79 first inning ERA this year. Last year was 5.67. Our worst inning this year is the 5th at 5.27.
  23. soccer10k
    Jon doing his best Hendricks impersonation.
  24. soccer10k
    Oh good, Duensing in.
  25. soccer10k
    First inning Kyle strikes again.
