Sunday vs reds...Going for series win (no FF)

[nsacpi]

some do. Reds are not a bad team and noting wrong with splitting a 4 game series with them.

I think they will make a run...this season

I mean i'm not sure if Greene should be closer, he doesnt have swing and miss stuff. He's a ground ball pitcher. That being said, he's been very unlucky and getting BABI'd so far.

Idk if he’s the best choice for closer (we have plenty of decent arms in his tier that can handle the role), but it’s been two innings.

I agree the hot takes are a bit much.

Kimbrel last this past month - 8 saves, 2.70 ERA, 12.6 k/9

Yeah Greene will be fine

 

[chop2chip]

why sit Freeman if you are going to play him anyway later rather than just pinch hit.

If he was going to pinch hit, it should have been in The 6th for Flowers when the bases were loaded against a tired Sonny Gray.

He will. He's better suited for 7th or 8th inning duty than closer but he's been spectacularly unlucky so far.

We probably should have lost last night and won tonight. It happens. Splitting a series isn’t a bad thing. The Phillies lost. If the Nats lose, all is good.

My theory is that Shane Reynolds changed his last name.

Did anyone else see how depressed Snitker seemed in his post game presser?

He's probably confused why we traded for Greene

 

[thewupk]

Whoever said playing 1B isn't hard obviously didn't tell Riley about fielding a bunt and making a force play at home.

Ron Washington told Chris Pratt that it’s incredibly hard, so it must be true.

NO! I think he's embarrassed that he chose Greene as the closer.

NO! I think he's embarrassed that he chose Greene as the closer.

When reporters asked AA who would close he said Snit would make the call. My guess is Alex had a side bet with someone that Snit would make the wrong call.

At the end of the day it doesnt matter much who pitches which inning. The 9th isnt always the most high leverage.

Nats lose, still 7 up on Phi/Was.

I thought the mighty nationals were unstoppable.
