I would be shocked if Arrieta comes out for the 5th. He's lucky to have only given up 1 run.

Can we all just be amazed one more time at the starting pitching in this series?

Yeah it's been pretty impressive! And Strasburg must have been on the best antibiotics ever!

Are you counting Lester's relief work today in this statement?

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 6:24 pm

Ha, I just wondered that to myself a few minutes ago.

Good job Strasburg! Now you can go cough up a lung!

Hmmm. Closer gave up grand slam not looking good. ESPN says the Dodgers match up better against the Nats so I guess it's good news.

Strasburg kicked some butt.

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 9:07 pm

That he did.

Guess I'll be going to Game 5!

Time to pull Sabathia Joe if you want a job next year.

Jaymann · Post by **Jaymann** » Wed Oct 11, 2017 11:30 pm

Well Girardi keeps his job for another year, but I don't see the Yankees advancing past the next round. It's looking more and more like Astros vs. Dodgers.

Lorini · Post by **Lorini** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 12:13 am

So much for momentum from September.

I got home from work, turned on the game, heard "it's nearly impossible to hit one out today" and thought immediately, "they are going to hit a fucking grand slam!" And nobody was even on base yet.

Are people seriously questioning whether Girardi should keep his job after getting this team (which was supposed to be rebuilding, I thought) into the playoffs?

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:17 am

Oh yeah. Seemed pretty certain if the Yankees lost this round that he was getting let go.

Baseball is not a rational business.

pr0ner · Post by **pr0ner** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:21 am

Sports in general aren't rational.

It's worse in soccer. Particularly overseas.

FTFY.

Note that Joe doesn't have a contract for next year, so from my point of view at least it was tongue in cheek.

Octavious · Post by **Octavious** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:09 pm

Sigh sports suck this year. Mets terrible, NY Giants even worse... And now the Yankees knock out the Indians. Barf..

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 1:12 pm

Wait a few hours for the Nats to finally overcome their playoff futility.

Looks like it's officially Gonzalez for the Nats tonight. I wouldn't be surprised if Scherzer was available in the pen.

Arrrggh, Gio WTF?

After Edwards last night I don't wanna hear it.

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:10 pm

And the post season meltdown continues...

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:15 pm

Plenty of outs left. I certainly am not comfortable.

I’ll see your discomfort and raise you my horror watching such a pathetic inning.

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:25 pm

I'll match your horror with last night's eighth.

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:31 pm

And we’re only in the 5th. Who knows what (t)errors await...

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:31 pm

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict a final score other than 7-4.

Lorini · Post by **Lorini** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:44 pm

Oh well, I guess there are miracles, but the Nats are playing tight or something. Geez so many poor plays.

Huzzah? Still too many outs left.

Unfortunately there is the weight of post-season history that is dragging down my optimism. Oh well if the Cubs win, go Cubs! Of course there are a few more innings left...

Zaxxon · Post by **Zaxxon** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 10:59 pm

Agreed!

$iljanus · Post by **$iljanus** » Thu Oct 12, 2017 11:05 pm

Wow! This is a messy game.
