2017 NLDS: Chicago Cubs vs. Washington Nationals

That said, one hears so much negative stuff said about this city and her people. Can they not just maybe have this one little thing? A pretty good baseball team succeeding?

have you considered that DC is actually the entirety of hell and it doesn't deserve redemption

just because people who don't live here hate it for the wrong reasons doesn't mean there aren't right reasons

i sympathize with what you're saying, Y.M. Puffin. believe me, i feel bad for the feds. honestly i think i just got tired of going to nats games with 14,000 people in the stands and watching everyone boo whenever there was a pickoff attempt. that is one of my biggest baseball pet peeves! i can't forgive it.

Should have gone with Roark.

D.C. is a good place actually

SCRAM

why is werth batting 2nd again? (as i type that, ron darling says that werth is the best person to bat 2nd with Turner on base, because he averaged 4.5 pitches per PA. but...i still don't think it makes sense)

i think you know the answer

dusty baker is a genius? i don't even know which team i'm rooting for in this game, tbh. i guess i'm rooting for an interesting game.

i'm amazed how Darling gets a lobotomy every fall before the playoffs, but has it undone in time for the next Mets' season.

Wow again!

it's Dusty's game to blow

...as in, leaving Gio in so he can WP in the tying run too, just averted

well this is going til at least 12 ET

(Any district that has dozens of Ethiopian restaurants is all right.)

(I've never warmed to that spongy bread.)

It's panda-shaped relief hero Matt Albers.

you never have to set foot in DC for ethiopian, silver spring is right there

A starting pitcher who has given up four runs in three innings -- and is behind in an elimination game -- was allowed to hit in the fourth inning.

have Maddon and Dusty switched bodies?

Camus Tao Maddon

I love how anytime I leave the TBS app to like answer a text or whatever and then go back in, I'm required to watch the exact same cell phone ad with Bryce Harper every single time, and then the same ad shows up in every ad break too.

better than having to watch bayless and cowherd on the fox app, at least

OTM

Cy-quality aces not doing real well this month

hahahaahah playoff baseball folks

RIP

holy fuck

damn

Wow it is almost as if pitching on short rest in the playoffs is extremely difficult I was told anybody who gave up a run was a choke arti

ROBOT CATCHERS NOW

ROBOT PITCHERS NOW

lol wow

2 run game and it's still early but I can't recall a team making a boner like that in an elimination game and winning

I mean, 3 run game

ROBOT MANAGERS NOW

yeah, someone asked Dave Cameron yesterday if Scherzer would relieve and he said "He won't throw much on 2 days' rest." (He got an extra day but the point stands.)

xxxxp

wietersed

Strange inning. Only one ball was hit hard (Russell's double). And somehow it all started by Scherzer mowing down Bryant and Rizzo.

this could end 12-11

i love that my upstairs neighbor is watching the game on a feed that's like a minute ahead of mine, so i hear him yell YES and i know something good is going to happen soon

this time i'm not being sarcastic, i really do love that

werthless

ouch.

what a mess of a game for the nats

I'm not sure why they're assuming Werth lost the ball in the lights. Maybe he just messed up.

i feel bad for werth. not only did that happen, but this could be his last game. he's 38, at the end of a 7-year contract, and he's been worth just a hair over replacement value over the last 3 years.

RIP. you were very hairy

:-O

how the fuck are there still 3+ innings of this left

this could end 12-11
