Gotta figure he shut it down mentally after the 8th inning. No reason he should've ever been needed tonight.
Another W though thats all that counts. And Nats down 8-2 in the 8th. Looking like a 2 game lead. As long as the Nats dont turn into the Marlins in the 9th.
Nothing left on my fingertips after last night. Unbelievable. The pitchers thought they could just cruise with an 8-0 lead and got complacent. If they blew that lead for Harvey, oh my. 2 games up over the nats with a day off. Hopefully we can take 2 of 3 vs Tampa and then we come back home for Colorado. Lets keep it rolling!
Last night in the 9th it seemed like every ball found a hole. It was almost NIGHTMARE ON ELM STREET. Like last Thursday against SD.
Let that be a lesson. I think you're right, maybe the whole team kinda relaxed, and were goofing around in the dugout to early also. Throw in a Murph guffaw at 2ND and I'm losing it...Lol Two out of three in Tampa, hopefully. No lead is safe. Like to see Terry go with D substitutions in the late innings, when and where possible, all the time. I was a little surprised to see O'Flarity come out for the next inning, after getting the one out the previous inning, his primary role. With the lead tho I guess Terry thought he could get some work in.
I HATE having a day off when we're going so well. But we have deGromm to look forward too, then Noah--it's like an embarrassment of riches. _
That Blevins injury is a tough one. Baseball players always seem to get injured in the weirdest ways. Good thing for the O'Flaherty trade..maybe TC should learn to just pitch him against lefties now.
I'm a little skeptical of the Blevins story, but whatever. Montero seems to be getting closer however. It seems he was having some 'issues' and Terry had to give him some sort of pep talk or something. Hopefully he comes around whatever the problem is. Meija fucked us and the team good, along with himself
Montero could be a really nice piece for the pen down the road. His stuff is just as nasty as Meija's and has the ability to be more consistent than him too.
Yeah this Blevins thing sounds really fishy. Bar fight or his wife/GF hit him with a golf club. What world class athlete slips on a curb? _
