    Good to know that the Nats are just as ****ing dumb on the bases as the Astros are

    For a team that was trying to protect Strasburg and Scherzer the last few years, they are using them like rag dolls this year. I believe pitchers can handle it better than most think, but Washington is stretching the boundaries this year for sure and pushing tin.

    If they go down 2-0 it doesn't matter, right?

    Yeah I agree, but that shows you how much their bullpen blows. Zero confidence in just about everyone.

    I don't understand what the Nats are doing on the base paths either. You need to trust your teammates and windmill's. Don't just give outs away like that. Not a fan of their strategy to give yourself up.

    They have done nothing to "protect" either of those pitchers in the last month plus.

    I love seeing Bellinger fail in the postseason.

    Dumb free pass if you ask me.

    WTF!!! Intentional walk to get a tying run on base? Winning run at the plate? Wow

    You know their bullpen has been absolute trash with an IBB like that. Desperation in the air...

    Great pitch, but Seager loves it down and in. So dangerous.

    Like watching Giles in the playoffs in 2017?
