Nats catcher threw a 2-seamer to 1B and it moved right into Meyers's helmet, it wouldn't have matter where Meyers was because Harvey wasn't catching that ball.

[Scraps 13561]

Chas leadoff lol...ok

[tx 3 putt 76980]

They have a lefty starter, so that makes sense, actually.

 

.808 OPS LHP, .743 RHP

[Guadaloopy 10973]

How many innings before Martinez gets himself tossed tonight?

People are actually going to pay attention to baserunners' path to first base tonight.

I would tell every Astro batter to run inside the line.

He also has a .946 OPS when leading off. Only 6 games, but he should be leading off more especially against LHPs. Also boasting a .911 OPS in June (8 games). Dusty is just a fucking moron.

I agree 

[Mo Horn 8848]

Machete 

[rvm96 1643]

104.3 off the bat for Abreu into an unfortunate double play. Then Pena has to one up him on the exit velocity for a single.

[Mo Horn 8848]

Wasting chances so far tonight

[Mo Horn 8848]

Very anemic tonight

No need for upgrades, our AAAA players are the tits.

[runthebone 7990]

Will this inning allow Abreu to catch Bregman for GIDP?

[WBT 20586]

Let's go slappy

[Mo Horn 8848]

Totally unclutch tonight

[runthebone 7990]

It's gonna be sweet handing over a 1-0 lead to Pressly after the 8th!

[HtownHorn 14691]

Meyers teaching Washington OFs the most efficient routes to fly balls?

[Mo Horn 8848]

JFC, what a frustrating night. Wasted chance after wasted chance

[Scraps 13561]

Hold on to yer butts

[Mo Horn 8848]

Fuck you pressley

[Scraps 13561]

Classic

[Rip76 4929]

Oof

Just Maton it from here on out.

[Gut Wagon 8079]

I'm not irked. I'm livid. 

[perfectchaos007 6661]

Ryan Pressly has devolved into Brad Lidge 

[runthebone 7990]

Fuck you, Pressly.

[Make em eat Taco Bell 1549]

Neris/Abreu should be the closers. Period. 

[Mitch Hedberg 2090]

I know Pressly has good stats and has been good for us but no closer has ever made me want to not watch the 9th more than him.

[elfenix 34266]

Great

[Rimbo 25946]

[Focht Up 631]

Please let this be our last year with Pressly on the team 

[Honeysucklerose 990]

Presley. You idiot.

[HtownHorn 14691]

Dusty has no feel for bullpen management. Pressly has fucking struggled for a while now and he throws him right back out there after his meltdown yesterday. Of course, Pressly gives up the go-ahead HR.

His last clean inning was on May 27th against Oakland. He has given up runs in 6 out of his last 7 outings.

[Scraps 13561]

Here we go

Abreu walk off dong!

[WBT 20586]

Ted!

That was destroyed, just needed more lift.

Edited June 16, 2023 by WBT

[HtownHorn 14691]

Can't even fucking move the runner over.

[rvm96 1643]

Fun fact for Blummer, Tucker is not very fast

[Scraps 13561]

Diaz better catch one of these hundos or we gonna lose

[WBT 20586]

Diaz for Julks, huh?  Should have hit for Maldonado in a scoreless game in the 8th but better late than never I guess.

[runthebone 7990]

Good job pinch hitting!

[Scraps 13561]

Or stare at it

[Mo Horn 8848]

Finally, a clutch hit

[Scraps 13561]

There we go dog

[perfectchaos007 6661]

Extra innings here we come!!! 

[tx 3 putt 76980]

Diaz !!!!

[patrickdrinksbeer 791]

YAYner

[HtownHorn 14691]

The problem here is that Dusty thinks he is justified in his management of this game. Instead of playing the better players more, he thinks he is very smart.

[WBT 20586]

Go Yainer!!

[runthebone 7990]

Um, who is left to PH for Maldonado?
