    ****. At leas CC put the bat on it. Somebody needs to start the “should we move Bregman down the lineup” thread and maybe that gets him going.

    Damn. Doolittle looked hittable. Bregman whiffed on some meatballs. Get back in the cage. Gurriel blows a 2-0 Count. Couldv'e done better.

    Felt like we left more men on base that game than the Yankees did all series.

    Dude was humbled last year after he talked trash about the Red Sox and did little that series too.

    Whatever. This team is resilient, they'll bounce back tomorrow.

    Hate giving this or any team life, but we're still in good position.

    Thank Goodness we play again tomorrow to get this bad taste out.

    This team has gotten away with minimal offense in the playoffs ! That won’t work in the World Series

    This team is dead. Bregman looks lost. Get rid of their hitting coach. He’s awful

    Hopeful JV and Greinke can right the ship. Oprimistic that Cole will strike back with a great 2nd start. Still plenty of baseball left, our LOB rate is unsustainable (at least I hope).

    Nite y'all

    Bregman has been a colossal disappointment. That last AB was his post season in a nutshell so far

    Well that was disappointing..

    I'll say it again. We shouldve never taken the Nats for granted or put much stock into the big odds. You don't come back and beat the Dodgers and then destroy the Cardinals by luck.. This is a tough team and this will be another tough series.

    11 left on base...3-12 with RISP....1 run loss

    So many missed opportunities against Scherzer

    If Bregman is just going to fall asleep at the plate like that, so much for the series.

    Bregman, Alvarez, and Brantley all were responsible for bad AB’s with men on base tonight.

    they were your three best hitters all year and they are performing like scrubs.

    Nationals 20 year old comes in and is outperforming everyone.

    "Greatest offense..."
    "Best lineup..."
    "Murderers' row"

    Yeah, yeah, yeah, Rays, Nats have great pitching...but you don't get that for beating up on the Mariners & Orioles.

    Get it together already...
