Damnit Simmons

 

[TDlxANDER]

Oh please let Medlen walk it off

 

[jsebe10]

Simmons got this. Walk off right here[/QUOTthis

Yea never mind.

 

[BoneThrower]

WTF is Simmons swinging at?

 

[atl717]

simmons is such a dumb hitter sometimes. hes never on balance and always hacking.

Reminds me of the frustrations we used to have with Furcal

I'd say he's more like Druw without the power and the patience.

 

[Gary82]

Damn! I wanted Kris to win that so bad!

 

[jsebe10]

Take the strikes and swing at balls.

 

[zitothebrave]

Damn, well Meds needs another shut down inning then we need our big boys to take it all.

 

[Krovahn]

Bad news, didn't win there. Good news, Heyward and Upton bat next inning.

 

[Murphfan]

damn.

i understand he's young and needs to progress, but those pitches were in the LH batters box....

 

[NYCBrave]

Who's pitching the next inning for the Nats??? I can't imagine Stammen coming out for another, and I believe that's their last bullpen arm.

 

[tvsportscaster]

Don't think Maholm is coming back until September, no need for a 6 man rotation. lol

Even if he doesn't comeback, with the Monday off day you can still pitch Beachy Tuesday, Wood Wednesday and come back with Medlen Thursday if needed.

 

[atl717]

druw swinging for the fences was fine. not simmons who is a pop up machine and even with 11 homers has a terrible ISO. they need to fix his approach so he can get back to being a .280-.290 line drive hitter.

 

[zitothebrave]

Damn! I wanted Kris to win that so bad!

Would have been tubby bumps all around.

 

[jsebe10]

Desmond scares me here.

 

[zitothebrave]

Desmond scares me here.

And you think that Heyward is gonna look foolish and strike out right?

Dan Haren was warming up earlier
