Please score 2 to make that decision look horribly dumb. I would’ve done same though
Having to listen to Gnats broadcast on nights like this one sucks. These guys are the definition of homers.

Ventura's Stolen Bases
That’s the best pitcher in the game. Lucky to beat him last time out. Just beat that crying pansy tomorrow night and every thing is good
When Scherzer is pitching like he did tonight, not much you can do against him. Give him his due and go after Strasburg tomorrow.
Chopping With The Braves And Rolling With The Tide
102 pitch complete game, one above the minimum faced, 10 Ks. Scherzer was dominant but man, that was a piss poor performance by the offence. Didn't even make the guy work.
You gotta go up there with the goal of seeing pitches and not helping Scherzer out. Stop getting yourself out early in the count. Shorten up with two strikes. Try to foul some pitches off. Basically do anything you can to make Scherzer work. If he has 100 pitches after 7, you get two innings against the pen.
I don't think that's asking too much.
And I don't buy the whole line about a pitcher being untouchable and not being able to do anything. Games like this virtually always have the dominated team doing the pitcher some favors.
Sometimes you just have to tip your hat to a future HOF player. We got him last time...not much of a chance to get him again that quickly.
Not even mad... I’m thrilled JT had a much better start. Maybe he can build on this one and do even better vs the cubs
I got no problem tipping the cap to Scherzer. No shame in having him beat you soundly. The 102 pitches and one over the minimum is the only thing to be ashamed about.
The most dominant I've ever seen a pitcher was Randy Johnson's perfect game and even that took him 117 pitches.
