Brantley not coming through twice with RISP hurts..

That was a good swing. Can't place the ball. Just have to put a good swing on it and hope.

So you start Dubon over Brantley when Montgomery starts, but you don't pinch hit Dubon for Brantley when he comes out of the pen. I don't get it.

No, roll with uncle Mike and get Peña and Maldy out of the game.

Single runs aren't going to get it done. Yordan on third with one out and we can't scratch him in with the heart of the order

We're OK. Gonna be banging the ball against their bullpen

You can score more than one run in an inning, you can, I promise, it's allowed.

We have to throw up a crooked number if we want to have a chance. We have blown that chance twice already.

Brantley ain't ready. Not fair to him coming back from injury.

How lucky do you get to be?


The Nationals team of destiny'd the piss out of us. We aren't quite to that level yet but it's getting there.

Just setting them up for complete despair by losing in the bottom of the 9th.

Wasted a triple by Yordan with 1 out. Idk how we manage to step on our collective dicks every time.

Yordan might as well change his address to 3rd base. Stranded there twice tonight

So close to finally being a crooked number, but to no avail

31 straight innings at home now

Y'all acting like game is over. We've had men on base every inning. 2/3 of the game left. We're only down by 2 and the ****ty bullpen is on

So can someone explain to me why not try to bunt the runner in with an 0-2 count?


Suicide squeeze in the bottom of the 3rd down 2 with Uncle Mike up next? How much have you already had to drink tonight?


Not enough. And thanks!
For a bunt like to work, the runner has to be moving with the bunt. So you're asking Jose Abreu, who's probably bunted 5 times in the past 20 years to bunt a ball in fair territory that doesn't get caught while asking Yordan Alvarez who runs like a svelte rhinoceres to break from third and get home faster than whoever fields the bunt can throw to the catcher or the pitcher covering.

There are about 60 bad things that can happen in that situation and a high likelihood of a double play.

Abreu's AB was worse. Need to at least give us a chance with a ball in middle or fly ball.

Hunter was executing pitches, wish he would have held the ball one more inning. Are we using JP to try and bridge to the 7th? Options start getting ugly if he doesn't get us through the 6th.

Brantley is almost Maldonado slow. Even the best bunt would get him out

And get a repeat of wild swings like last night?

If I'm going down, I'm going down with a professional hitter putting up an AB like he just did.
