Lawful Metal Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 Still bummed about JJ, but this is a pleasant surprise. Astros close out Boston at Fenway. Got a little worried when Hinch put in Verlander inexplicably and he immediately gave up the lead, but proud they still came through. go Yankees! Take the Indians to five!

hammerva Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 But the real problem is that they should have had Doolittle pitch instead of Perez. Heaven forbid we don't stop a shutout every game Reality is that the Nats have had maybe 5 hits in this entire series that worth a damn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Looking like game 4 of Cubs/Nats may get pushed to tomorrow. Possibly a late start, but tomorrow is the word I keep hearing from a dude I know that's a scorekeeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig H Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Oh my God oh my God oh my God So the game is postponed until tomorrow because the weather here is shit.

But get this, Dusty is still going with Roark tomorrow instead of Strass. From ESPN: Quote Stephen Strasburg is feeling under the weather so the Nationals will hold him back for a potential Game 5. Dusty Baker says "a lot" of his team isn't feeling well. Tanner Roark will face Jake Arrieta in Game 4 on Wednesday, as originally planned. I still don't understand how a team with such a ridiculous starting rotation never wins in the playoffs. This is far from over, but it feels very over.

dogwelder Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Stephen Strasburg declines Game 4 start after rainout, leaving Nationals running for cover Quote This was going to be Stephen Strasburg’s moment of glory. The time he took the ball, thanks to Tuesday night’s rainout in Game 4 at Wrigley Field, and saved the Washington Nationals’ season. It would be his opportunity to be a hero in Washington, erasing those painful memories of 2012 when he was shut down for the playoffs, perhaps ruining the Nationals’ best chance to win a World Series. The Nationals were all set to pitch him Wednesday in Game 4 at 4:08 p.m. ET [TBS] at Wrigley Field, trailing 2-1 to the Chicago Cubs, only for Strasburg to decline. He told them he’s under the weather. He informed the Nationals’ staff that he ran a half-mile Tuesday afternoon, and was wheezing during his run, and simply isn’t prepared to start Wednesday, even though he’d be on regular rest, according to a person with direct knowledge of the Nationals' pitching plans. The person spoke to USA TODAY Sports on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak publicly about internal deliberations. So they are going back to Roark, while Strasburg awaits to see if there even is a Game 5 on Thursday at Nationals Park. Nationals manager Dusty Baker tried to cover for Strasburg at their press conference, saying that Strasburg threw a bullpen session Tuesday, and was simply unavailable. Only, Strasburg actually threw his bullpen session Monday. He didn’t throw a pitch Tuesday. And decided, apparently, that he couldn’t go in Game 4. Unbelievable.
