    Snit is an idiot, but WTF is he supposed to do? No one in our bullpen can get anyone out right now.

    Melancon in the 9th. He can handle back to back.

    The historical answer is clear--we can't.

    Maybe ****ing leave Soroka in for the 8th instead of pulling him so the ****ty bullpen has one less inning to try and blow it?

    With the way this relief corps is going, I’ll be surprised if he doesn’t blow the save.

    We filled the pen up with nine guys, and forgot to leave room in there for outs.

    I thought Swarzak and Jackson were reasonable choices in the 8th. Both hung sliders while ahead in the count.

    McCann walking to first doesn't look much different that McCann running to first?

    They're trying to protect Soroka for the longhaul, not one game.

    Yeah, genius idea to tax our ace’s arm coming off a shoulder surgery against the Marlins in August.

    Duvall has been awful since the last game of the Nats series.

    AA not getting an outfielder at the deadline is gonna hurt.

    you and I both know Jackson is not one to bring in with anyone on base because he almost never has clean innings. So to answer your question, he could stop making some of the worst moves possible for starters.

    I'd give Joyce a game in left tomorrow.

    Too much playing time against RHP. Him and a Neck or Joyce Platoon would be better

    This is actually a series in which Duvall should have done really well.

    He's otherwise been great against AAA clubs.

    I make all the the obligatory snide remarks about McCann's lack of foot speed but I am surprised they didn't use Fried to pinch run for McCann. I guess you just can't risk the injury to one of your front line pitchers.
