2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

Nice catching in CF by Robles.

Al Zarilla · Oct 25, 2019

Bugs Bunny changeup from Sanchez turns Bregman into Elmer Fudd.

Marciano490 · Oct 25, 2019

I really hate how Buck says Anibal.

sean1562 · Oct 25, 2019

rendon is gonna get paid. hope the nats do it

patinorange · Oct 25, 2019

Nice throw.

Al Zarilla · Oct 25, 2019

Attababy Josh

phrenile · Oct 25, 2019

Suboptimal.

InsideTheParker · Oct 25, 2019

The kid would make a great DH.

Al Zarilla · Oct 25, 2019

Buck has to give all the super small sample size WS batting averages.

I would much rather see season statistics than postseason ones.

Definitely. Or, maybe both.

InsideTheParker · Oct 25, 2019

That hp ad was so disingenuous, hypnotizing us into watching, then pretending we shouldn't.

InsideTheParker · Oct 25, 2019

Soto= DH.

Is that the anti-digital one? Is HP making furniture or something now?

That’s what we always said about Manny Ramirez in his early years with Boston, but he must have talked his way into the lineup. Young stars don’t like DHing and they usually get their way.

Yeah, you bet.

Not much choice in the NL. And the tiny LF in Fenway helped Manny.

DennyDoyle'sBoil · Oct 25, 2019

Having the greatest living astronaut throw out the first pitch against the Astros seems like some subtle, or not too subtle, and impressive trolling.

boxosII · Oct 25, 2019

playing baseball in space looks awesome

BlackJack · Oct 25, 2019

Ok so that was pretty cool. My wife is good friends with Jessica Meir’s sister and we’ve hung out with Jessica socially a few times over the years. Awesome to see her playing baseball in space.

stepson_and_toe · Oct 25, 2019

Looked like it barely ticked the pole to me.

phrenile · Oct 25, 2019

DennyDoyle'sBoil · Oct 25, 2019

I fucking hate NL rules. This is so fucking stupid.

The majesty. The strategery. Of a grown man who cannot swing a stick.

aksoxfan · Oct 25, 2019

Come on, ump.

The Filthy One · Oct 25, 2019

This zone sucks.

InsideTheParker · Oct 25, 2019

Umpire could be better.

phrenile · Oct 25, 2019

Robots. Robots. Dumb dumb dum dum dumb.

SemperFidelisSox · Oct 25, 2019

This is who Cederstrom is. He called the lowest percentage of low strikes in the regular season.

AB in DC · Oct 25, 2019

Home plate umps have been awful this series.

McBride11 · Oct 25, 2019

Ump is not good

also - as im sure has been touched upon. Anibal Sanchez?! What a rebirth

He's standing up straight while the windup begins. He doesn't get into his stance until the pitch has been delivered.

DennyDoyle'sBoil · Oct 25, 2019

Easy play if it goes through.

McBride11 · Oct 25, 2019

Oh shit what a play. Great throw and scoop

aksoxfan · Oct 25, 2019

Rendon with two first pitch pop ups

aksoxfan · Oct 25, 2019

Would Devers be a reasonable comparison to Soto?

The Filthy One · Oct 25, 2019

Did he hit that too hard? I thought for sure that was a run.

Marciano490 · Oct 25, 2019

Surprised to see Greinke pulled here.

canderson · Oct 25, 2019

Nats really need to get these two in off James.

And a kind bounce.

Devers is two years older and has more potential defensive value (Soto is already an average to bad corner OF). There's not a great current comparison to Soto, he has already had two massive offensive seasons and turned 21 today.
