07/19/2019 GDT Nats @ Braves Slump Buster 3: The Follow Through to FINNISH

[Slippyjms]

Something we have going for us. Scherzer won’t be back this weekend. We’re lined up fairly nicely to take 3 of 4.

 

[USMA76]

No comment on Dave Martinez’ idiot managing? I’d be livid if I was a Nats fan.

Go to their boards; they are.

I’m just surprised no one here pointed it out while it was happening. I was talking to my brother about it.

 

[CyYoung31]

Even stranger is when the Nats tied the game Doolittle was already warming up. I assumed he was either gonna be in for Freddie at latest if not start the inning altogether.

It made no sense. On any level.

It was some of the most questionable managing I've seen since Fredi.

 

[Braves1976]

I kept waiting for him to make the change and was just happy when he didn't.

He probably figured the season was lost already since we dealt them the deathblow a while ago.

 

[Jaw]

Go to their boards; they are.

Which board does gilesfan post on?

 

[Enscheff]

2 walks and a walk off single by JD the bust.

The Braves aren’t paying him to walk and hit singles.

See we got in his head.

Big win. Let's secure the split tomorrow

This is a perfect gif for someone who makes a bad point.

Trade for Bumgarner and extend him for 5+ years because pitchers in their 30s age gracefully and he is a surefire HoFer.

 

[cajunrevenge]

I wasnt even mad when Jackson blew the save. I can live with a single and a homer. I cant stand walk after walk after walk after walk after walk followed by a hit. Otherwise known as the Kyle Wright Special.

I hate having a near .900 OPS player at third base. It really handicaps the team.

OPS = other peoples stats. I don’t care about OPS. Homers and RBIs. That is a true 3rd baseman.

Let me channel Bill Shanks for a moment.



"If Donaldson is going to walk all the damn time then he should be hitting lead off



From the mind of the man who wanted Chipper to bat leadoff.

That whole Shanks twitter thread had me rolling. It’s almost incomprehensible that someone could be so stupid. Instead of taking walks you’d rather he swing at pitches outside of the zone? Master the oppo field bloop single? SMH

He say something dumb again?
