    Fans however, deserve better

    Come back and win this? LOL lemme take a sip of whatever you're drinking my friend. They took the Nats for granted and they're getting their asses handed to them.

    Not happening bro.....Nationals playing with house money..they are the better team. Maybe not on paper, but in baseball, if you get hot at the right time then heart>talent such is the case here.

    They’re definitely off for this game. But more importantly, these guys aren’t recognizable. They’re going to have to find themselves on this plane ride over or we just saw the last of them in Houston.

    Best thing we can do for the Astros now is leave them for dead while telling them how crappy they have been. This might take the pressure off and they might do something about it. But, to expect anything at this point flies in the face of reality at this point.

    The “embarrassment” “giant failure” “joke team” folks can F off, you don’t watch baseball and clearly don’t understand how difficult it is to win a WS. Nats best team in baseball since May, get a grip.

    Astros in 7. No way we lose game 3 or 5, then it’s Verlander and Grienke in 6 & 7. I’ll take it.

    Ok. So this sucks, but this series is not over.

    I hope the team is embarrassed, comes out and wrecks shop.

    Yeah, looks like this game is over. This is an utter and complete collapse by the Astros in this inning. Our chances of coming back to win this series are slim. I can't believe I'm thinking this, but there's a decent chance that we'll get swept.

    Once again, the Astros keep failing to deliver with RISP.

    The 2019 Astros have shown flashes of greatness, but the 2017 Astros were a better team in all three phases of the game.

    If the Stros don't score at least three runs this inning I'm calling it a night.

    The other interesting thing was that Carlos was throwing all over the place yesterday to. They need to focus.

    Who is going to rally this team now?

    This is where we miss a McCann/Beltran type vet.

    Nationals Atleast hit ball with 2 outs, our guys stare at strikes and swing at balls

    With how management has handled Osuna and the Astros falling apart, this team is going to be the joke of the majors. No more will people think Bregman's homer celebrations are cute. They are going to see them as choke artists on a team that protects domestic abusers.

    This off-season isn't going to be friendly to us. Cole is going to leave and we have two guys winding down their careers as our 1-2 with Verlander and Grienkie.

    We just have to win the next game, that simple.

    Game 4 is a bullpen game and so anything can happen, we win two over there and bring it back here, very doable.

    Pressley didn't look like he was at full health.
