I’d say Hendricks walking the lead off hitter, misplaying the ground ball, then giving up the 3 run homer is letting them back in the game but yeah, Russell is at fault.

I don't think I have ever seen Hendricks lose it so quickly.

I think it was 05 but Prior had a game like this at Houston where he lost it in one inning. Gave up a grand slam.

He lost it a couple innings ago. Just took this long for the Nats to get their heads out of their asses. Couldn’t throw a strike the last two innings.

This game has made me itchy since they didn’t put it away the first 2 innings .

My guy tells me that Descalso is 14 for 78 since he fell off the cliff.

That's .179 for the ho's at home.

This is a very upsetting game.

What the fuck Joe. The pitchers spot is due up 3rd, Kintz has 2 outs and no one on and you pull him for Cedeno. Worked out well too. This is why you end up in a 12 inning game with no fucking pitchers left.

No fucking shit. Joe handles a pitching staff about as good as the FBI handles investigations.

They’re both fucking stupid.

Joe has that impulse where he just can't leave good enough alone. I know it, I've done it and it usually ends up not working out.

I can't wait to see what he does with no closer tonight. Are we going to get fucking Carl or will he try to stretch She Shack thin over parts of 3 innings? Brach has been the best lately but he has pitched 2 days in a row.

W

3-3 roadtrip

W!!! Going into a series facing Max and Stras and getting out with 2 W's is a huge fucking win.

I have given Schwarbs more shit than probably anyone but he has played fundamental baseball at the plate to a T since he has been in the leadoff spot. They don't win tonight without his efforts. Ja Hey also looks much more comfortable now that he is back in the lower 3rd of the order. Descalso has been terrible lately.

It will be interesting next season how he handles the rule that a relief pitcher must face at least 3 batters before he can be replaced. I just hope I get to watch from afar, because he is managing a team elsewhere.
