    they are facing a very tough left hander tonight.
  2. a700hitter
    Kimbrel nails down the win!
  3. a700hitter
    I hope.
  4. a700hitter
    Kimbrel has found his groove now.
  5. a700hitter
    I would rather miss low, but Vasquez is stabbing at those balls and giving me heart failure. Where was that last pitch?
  6. a700hitter
    Kimbrel is missing by a lot. None of those pitches were close.
  7. a700hitter
    Great outing by Price tonight against a very hot team. But for Vasquez's brainfart, this would have been a scoreless outing.
  8. a700hitter
    It is very common in Europe. Ketchup on fries in Europe is not common.
  9. a700hitter
    Where in Maryland?
  10. a700hitter
    He's a DP machine lately.
  11. a700hitter
    Mayo makes everything better. Maybe Pedey should rub some on his knee.
  12. a700hitter
    I like mayo too.
  13. a700hitter
    Price probably wants to slap Vasquez.
  14. a700hitter
    Tomorrow night is going to be very tough against Paxton.
  15. a700hitter
    Vasquez is still suffering from HUAD.
  16. a700hitter
    I trust the manager's judgment.
  17. a700hitter
    I don't meh about a guy who is one of the best at what he does and also one of the best of all time. Maybe closers are overvalued in today's game, but that is the fault of the owners. There is a need to have a big hammer in the pen to lock down games, and Kimbrel is one of the best at it.

    First of all, I trust the manager's judgment more than my own for the reasons that you mentioned. That doesn't change the fact that they have the occasional brainfart and it doesn't take an insider with reams of data to spot those mistakes. I didn't argue with you about last night. There hasn't been an issue with Kimbrel getting too much work lately and Cora has no way of knowing if a guy will be sharp when he comes into the game. Also, there was plenty of breathing room for Kimbrel even if he wasn't sharp. The problem with Kelly game was that it was obvious that he was blowing up and there wasn't a comfortable lead. He gets paid to know when the guy doesn't have it. He blew that one -- no ifs, but or whats. Of course Kelly is the performer and gets the stain on his record, but no pitcher walks off the mound when they don't have it unless the manager comes to get him. A managers most crucial in game decision is to know when he needs to make a pitching change.

    And yet with all that information at their disposal, sometimes they can be so obviously wrong. As for resenting Kimbrel, I can't resent a guy who k's 40% of the batters that he faces, but that is just me.
  20. a700hitter
    I wouldn't dispute that.
  21. a700hitter
    I thought for a second that Farrell was managing the Nats.
  22. a700hitter
    Maybe Max falls into the school of thought that managerial in-game moves don't matter?
  23. a700hitter
    His first was an opposite field miss-hit ball that just got out. He miss-hit it so badly that no one thought it had a chance to go out. The kid is just strong. For most guys that ball would have been a pop out to medium depth LF.
  24. a700hitter
    Soto just hit a 436 foot bomb for his second HR of the game.

    Racism should never be sugarcoated, nor should we sit in judgment of others where we define a person's entire life based on what we believe was in that person's heart on a particular issue.
