GDT 8/17/2013: Nationals @ Braves

[bravesnumberone]

Our top 5 sans Freddie was good vs him, bottom of the order is horrific.

I don't see us getting 4+ off Stras.

Just chalk it up as a loss and get the series tommorow.

We are kind of due to get our asses kicked in, something like 11-3.

Just got in to see the score and Varvaro pitching in the 2nd! I didn't know they were going to activate and start Maholm today....

 

[tvsportscaster]

You gotta bring more than that when faces Strasburg.

Yeah and in the playoffs you will be matched up against the other teams aces, Minor has to be better than that. But he was purely awful tonight.

Game.

If we come back to win this game you will be suspended for 2 days, non-negotiable.

All I know is that Chip and Joe said a couple times that Jordan was being shut down after yesterdays game. Dont know which announcers you watched. Even commented when he ran his speed up to 95 or so that no reason for him to be leaving anything out there since was being shut down.

Then they don't know what they are talking about.

That's fine, I hope I'm wrong, I don't see us winning this game.

We're due for an ass kicking.

 

[zitothebrave]

Start chipping away at the lead now.

 

[bravesnumberone]

If we hold them scoreless from here on, I think we can do it.

 

[Lville21]

Hopefully the long inning will make Strasburg rusty and the Braves can get 1-2 runs back.

[Heyward]

Did Rick Ankiel put on a Strasburg jersey?

 

[bravesnumberone]

Damn, I wasn't being serious. Don't toss him now.
