Nats remind me of the DBacks WS team. Two elite pitchers pitching great and the rest providing timely hitting.

Astros were strangely favored tonight on the road. Vegas knows something we don't. They are up 1-0.

BOOM! Chirinos got Houston up 4-1 with a solo shot!

As an expos fan ppl often go "don't you root for the nationals now?" it's like. fuck no! Just imagine if MLB/rickettses wanted to move the cubs so for a few years their dumbass GM trades away the future of the franchise in lopsided deals to get rental players to make a.wildcard run (but botch that so badly they end up trading some.of the players they got away again b4 the trade deadline) except for the costliest guy they got (the expos gave up cliff Lee grady.Sizemore and Brandon phillips.for a 1/2 season rental of middleaged bartolo colon) so they liquidate the farm system and smother the life out of the team, then finally kill them off and move them away to become the Louisville Turdburglars...

Are you gonna be all HELL YEAH THAT'S MY TEAM when you see some dipshit walking down the street in a Turdburglars hat? Hell no! you're gonna be like FUCK THAT DUDE UP.HIS STUPID.FUCKING ASS!!! FUCK THE TURDBURGLARS!!!!

I should have appreciated busty faker, erm, Dusty Baker when he managed them way more.cuz as long as he was there the natinals / fighting walgreenses weren't gonna win shit! Now they just hang around until.one year where the NL was meh/blah enough to come back to them, they kinda halfass their way in the WS and catch Houston sleepy at the wheel coming off of "harder" series against Tampa and the yankees, and now they're up 2-0 and holy shit I need an astros win tonight guys! while I might not have a team anymore I always have "anyone but the natinals" and hey I guess it'd be glorious.to see the natinals.choke away a 2-0 series lead, but still too close for comfort cuz HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!! YOU GOTTA TAKE OUT THE ZOMBIE BASEBALL TEAM AND DO IT FOR THE REALEST FANS IN BASEBALL LIKE.PEDRO.DID IN 04!!!! COME.ON YOU ASTROS!!!!

Oh shit you know what, now that I think about it I'm sorry for hitting a little too close to.home here, Cubbie Nation! if you replace "wildcard run" with "single world series" I've pretty much described the Cubs' situation to a T here.

Just imagine a butchery OF of soler, eloy, and heyward/bryant/schwarbs/whiever, then gleyber torres in the middle with Baez and Bryant and Rizzo in the OF... Schwarber as a 4th-OF/DH/PH... Man, you'd be better equipped to win.sloppy 9-7 type games with a heaping helping of un/earned runs (plus.all those runs generated by shitty OF defense/play) but you'd have a murderers row.lineup that could legit rival Houston if soler managed to stay healthy while Bryant trends closer to.his early years than his 2018. And Addison Russell could be your utility IF. Maaannn I'm sorry Cubbie Nation, I didn't mean to rub it in or anything =/

The Nationals did not hit with runners in scoring position tonight, but they have another go round from Scherzer and Strasburg. They should still take this thing in six games.

Hinch emptying out the bullpen in Game 3, used 7 pitchers, including all their best relievers.

Game 4 pitchers:

B. Pen (28-18 3.75 ERA regular season / 4-0 4.69 ERA post-season)

v

P. Corbin (14-7 3.25 ERA regular season / 1-2 6.91 ERA post-season)

no they did not. Rondon is none of their best relievers and didn't pitch.

Pay attention and start thinkin'.

Houston is the only MLB team that can stop the Nats in their tracks. And I think they will. Martinez may think he's got Hudson and Doolittle in his back pocket but I'm here to tell you that back pocket is frayed and full of holes. Astros will win at least one of the two Scherzer/Strasburg games due to those two guys.

Noticed Martinez avoided reaching for his best guys to try to keep the score 4-1 in the 7th. Being @Home + Astros pen already taxed from the night before had to be tempting to bring in Hudson/Doolittle to try to keep it a 3 run game. Martinez didn't chase the long-shot W. Hinch used--second consecutive night--James/Harris/Peacock but not Osuna. Doesn't leave Hinch much to work with to build a bridge btw Cole-Osuna tonight. If he gets 7 from Cole, then Joe Smith-Osuna, ideally for the Astros. Nats go Scherzer Hudson/Doolittle. Both teams f'd if tonight's game goes extras.

He expects Scherezer to go 8+.

Scherzer scratched tonight . Neck spasms . Some dude named Ross starting. Buh bye Nats . Wtf.

Go Astros.

Hope Strasburg can go 9.

Actually, have Corbin ready for closing game 6 and then pray Scherzer heals and and then pray again that Doolittle can fake his way through the 9th

Astros win 7-1. On to Game 6.

Might be a good value taking the Nats to win it all...looks like you can get +500. Strasburg tonight and then maybe Scherzer tomorrow.
