Martinez has to control his emotions there. Can't lose it like that.

Can't believe how livid Martinez was mid-inning in light of the HR.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 02:59 (four years ago) link
the specifics of the discussion might've inflamed him

I was worried he was going to choke slam the ump he was being so aggressive.

Xpost - you mean him not being able to play under protest?

Joe Torre was on the field conferring with an umpire in his executive capacity

Turner wasn't in the running lane at all; Guriel had no chance to catch it.
Hmmmm? Turner played no factor in the noncatch that I saw; Gurriel missed it before it hit Turner.

More Strasburg!
This would be his Matt Harvey moment, if it's happening.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:18 (four years ago) link
wtf my stream froze and he's out of the 8th already? damn
― frogbs, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:20 (four years ago) link
as Dan Shulman points out, the running lane is a bad rule anyway
that was a quick 8th!
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:21 (four years ago) link
I guess not (unless he's back for the ninth, which could happen).

No one will agree, but I'd give him one baserunner. He's not pitching tomorrow, he's at 101 pitches, he's a free agent anyway, let him go out.
Bad rules are still rules.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:22 (four years ago) link
I will agree
― timellison, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:22 (four years ago) link
I have no idea how he does after that many pitches but yeah I'd let him go until someone gets on
― frogbs, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:23 (four years ago) link
Stras has been looking better and better as this game goes on.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:24 (four years ago) link
Devenski pitching the ninth means that Hinch is already trying to save his best guys for Game 7.
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:25 (four years ago) link
He's got Gurriel, Alvarez, Correa
― timellison, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:25 (four years ago) link
I didn’t even think he’d pull off four, the way he started the game.
― FRAUDULENT STEAKS (The Cursed Return of the Dastardly Thermo Thinwall), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:26 (four years ago) link
Looks like Strasburg was headed to the showers?
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:28 (four years ago) link
as a Mets fan, i'm glad they didn't call it on JC Martin in '69
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:29 (four years ago) link
xp: maybe he had to take a leak, looks like he's back in the dugout.
― Jersey Al (Albert R. Broccoli), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:30 (four years ago) link
Only 5 pitches in the 8th, they said.

and we will see you to-morrow night

That's what happens when you let the seventh best guy in the bullpen pitch the ninth in a close game.
Two more two out runs for the Nats!
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:33 (four years ago) link
Wow great game
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:33 (four years ago) link
Please don't needlessly burn a pitcher with a 5-run lead.

Good move

No
Utterly ridiculous.

Ben Clemens11:37 Greinke looks like he just found out the World Series was going on and had to get out of bed to watch.

why
― frogbs, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link
104 and no one on. They should have let him go
― Bee OK, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:38 (four years ago) link
That was possibly/probably Strasburg's last game with the Nationals. I know all about Matt Harvey...Does this sport have even an ounce of poetry left in it?
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:40 (four years ago) link
Doolittle's pitched two innings since October 15th.
― timellison, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:40 (four years ago) link
I almost want the Astros to come back.
Back from work, happy I have no shoots tomorrow.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:40 (four years ago) link
I don't really get it either
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:41 (four years ago) link
I am pretty certain Stras is back with the Nats next season.
― Van Horn Street, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:41 (four years ago) link
I also don't necessarily equate complete games with poetry
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:42 (four years ago) link
Wish the Astros had shown up tonight.
― the girl from spirea x (f. hazel), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:42 (four years ago) link
Doolittle hasn’t pitched in 4 days I think, I think that’s why.

Looked out live

(xpost) I have no answer for that. You either understand what I mean or you don't.
― clemenza, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:43 (four years ago) link
the Astros did show up, or at least Bregman tried to show up Strasburg yuk yuk
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:44 (four years ago) link
The flip side of the Devenski sighting -- why bring in Doolittle, who's probably their best reliever, with a five run lead?
― NoTimeBeforeTime, Wednesday, 30 October 2019 03:44 (four years ago) link
My bad Doolittle was used Sunday.
