2019 NLCS - Nationals vs Cardinals - Gamethread

[Wallball Tingle]

Can't say I blame them for trying to steal outs with a big lead.

Why is Strasburg 110+ pitches in a 6 run game?

He’s “earned respect.”

 

[Fratboy]

Come on, Grady. We all know PEDRO GETS PULLED AFTER 6.

 

[Ale Xander]

Why is Strasburg 110+ pitches in a 6 run game?

Bullpen blows

 

[Fratboy]

Oh so Wieters is a Cardinal? I figured he was out of baseball or something.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

114 pitches

 

[Ale Xander]

Oh so Wieters is a Cardinal? I figured he was out of baseball or something.

He will be in about 22 hours

[HriniakPosterChild]

“Waste one”

 

[uncannymanny]

Fucking dealing.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Unbelievable job

 

[Ale Xander]

Zero earned runs never in doubt

 

[rajendra82]

Oh my Strassburg.

 

[Wallball Tingle]

Really nice job not getting rattled after that shit in left field. Held 'em.

 

[Fratboy]

Okay, he's earned that standing O. Great fucking game from Strasburg. See you in the World Series, champ.

 

[shawnrbu]

What a gem.

 

[brandonchristensen]

Scherzer and Stras could hold the Yankees and Astros down.

 

[Ale Xander]

Not over yet
Tire fire bullpen still needs to get six outs

Pitchers with 4 10+ K games in their first 7 postseason outings:

Stephen Strasburg
Cliff Lee
Bob Gibson

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

I understand why Martinez wanted Strasburg to finish that inning - there are potentially two more games in the next two nights where he may have to lean heavily on his bullpen. With a seven run lead, it makes sense to stretch Strasburg but at some point, he has to spend some bullpen bullets.

 

[rajendra82]

Ponce de Leon is an awesome name for a pitcher.

 

[Fratboy]

Scherzer and Stras could hold the Yankees and Astros down.

"Scherzer and Stras gonna kick some ass."

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Ponce de Leon is an awesome name for a pitcher.

It is.

Were I a Cardinals fan, I would lean heavily on lyrics from Sounds Of Science in my messageboarding during his appearances.

 

[Fratboy]

Ponce de Leon is an awesome name for a pitcher.

That's his LAST name

 

[jon abbey]

Kendrick with his 11th double of the game, that is a record.

 

[Fratboy]

Kendrick is at it again.

MVP.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

My goodness Kendrick is on fire. Amazing.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Rendon and Soto strike out ... but you can't stop Howie

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Joe Kelly unlocked Howie's inner hitter

 

[E5 Yaz]

Joe Kelly unlocked Howie's inner hitter

I thought so, too. Then I looked at his season stats for 2019

 

[brandonchristensen]

Yowza. Pats are world burners.

DO NOT BURN OUT LIKE THE ROCKIES (thankfully) DID IN 07.

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Old heads attack!

 

[E5 Yaz]

Yowza. Pats are world burners.

Wrong thread?

 

[rajendra82]

Wrong thread?

Wrong consonant.

 

[E5 Yaz]

Wrong consonant.

Yes, that was the joke

 

[Fratboy]

OH GOD NOT FERNANDO RODNEY

 

[rajendra82]

I feel dirty rooting for Rodney.

 

[E5 Yaz]

OH GOD NOT FERNANDO RODNEY

You give him no respect. No respect at all, I tell ya

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Imagine being a Cardinal fan.

 

[rajendra82]

Rodney channeling 2018 Playoff JoKe.

 

[nolasoxfan]

Scherzer and Stras could hold the Yankees and Astros down.

Absolutely.

 

[DukeSox]

Imagine being a Cardinal fan.

Imagine living in St Louis

 

[DeadlySplitter]

the Rodney arrow. yuck.

 

[E5 Yaz]

2004 Red Sox mention

 

[canderson]

2004 ALCS talk. Yes!

 

[uncannymanny]

 

[LogansDad]

Imagine being a Cardinal fan.

DON'T YOU PUT THAT EVIL ON ME RICKY BOBBY!

 

[bosockboy]

Rodney’s first MLB K was Tim Salmon. Wow.

 

[Ted Cox 4 president]

Did anyone ever talk about “punch-outs” before Eckersley?

 

[LesterFan]

Cardinals have scored two runs in this series.. one on a throwing error and one on a "double" Taylor misplayed. Total domination.
