2019 WS - Nationals vs. Astros - Gamethread

This zone looks terrible on gameday

 

[patoaflac]

First pitch to Zimmerman was a shockingly good strike call. That's never called a strike.

Never

 

[durandal1707]

Wtf is the zone now

 

[Mystic Merlin]

Wow what a bullshit call

 

[Fratboy]

DICK YOU BLUE

 

[LogansDad]

Strike 2, however....

 

[RSN Diaspora]

Fuck this ump

 

[patoaflac]

What about these calls?

 

[InsideTheParker]

The Fix is in.

 

[Al Zarilla]

Verducci with another episode of 6 degrees of nobody cares

Yeah, Rosenthal, to me, always has something interesting. Verducci I could do without.

 

[JohnnyTheBone]

Zim had no chance.

 

[patinorange]

Wtf is the zone now

He’s getting both corners.

 

[sean1562]

Getting beat by 89 mph fastballs hang em up Ryan

 

[jon abbey]

5 innings on 59 pitches, wow.

 

[Ale Xander]

5 scoreless from ZG

 

[patoaflac]

5 scoreless from ZG

And Jim Wolf.

 

[sean1562]

Really starting to look like grienke is about to pitch a historic game 7 for the Astros. Looks like going all in at the deadline was the right call

And looking like he’s benefiting from a gigantic strike zone.

 

[donutogre]

Bullshit strike zone, but still pretty amazing game he's got going here.

 

[jon abbey]

Cole just went down to the bullpen, oddly no one has warmed at all for WAS.

 

[durandal1707]

Don't get Scherzer here.

 

[uncannymanny]

Wow still out there

 

[LesterFan]

Scherzer's magic is gonna end here. Bizarre that he's still pitching.

 

[DeadlySplitter]

Greinke is in complete control, bringing in Cole would be overmanaging.

yea but nobody will be talking about the shitty zone in years to come. Luhnow vindicated. Gross

Houston has been squanderific the whole game. They are ahead and might well win this, but the nut-punch loss of franchise nut-punch lossesi (right up there with '86 NLCS G6 is very much within their grasp.

 

[uncannymanny]

Yup if they keep leaving runners out there they will probably be in trouble. Can’t expect 1 run to hold up.

 

[sean1562]

please bring him in so Soto can hit his 3rd HR off of him in one series

 

[brandonchristensen]

How is no one warming

 

[LogansDad]

Just found out I get CuriosityStream for free through my ISP, so that's pretty cool.

 

[uncannymanny]

Big K

 

[uncannymanny]

I hate most of the modern graphics stuff but that multi pitch view is really great.

 

[donutogre]

Gurriel trying to launch another homer here.

 

[gedman211]

if he's gotten a swing and miss on a slider yet I don't remember it

 

[DeJesus Built My Hotrod]

Gurriel is so grifty. And the guy is fast as hell for a guy his size. BTW, I buy the Frank Thomas theory that he purposely lost his glove last night on the Turner play.

In other news, Celtics fans who switched over to this game will be pleasantly surprised...

 

[SemperFidelisSox]

Here comes another squander.

 

[Fratboy]

I'm legit scared here.

Jesus. did Giannis die?

 

[gedman211]

finally a couple of decent breaking balls

 

[bosockboy]

Martinez might be napping on this. Scherzer hasn’t been sharp and one pitch ends your season.

 

[mauidano]

Game.

 

[LesterFan]

Shocker.

 

[Fratboy]

There it is.

 

[durandal1707]

Played with fire too long.

 

[LogansDad]

FUCK

 

[Ale Xander]

It's a game of inches

 

[strek1]

Astros keep leaving runners on base. Now Nats should awake.

They weren't going to keep stranding guys forever.

 

[donutogre]

Given how Greinke has been tonight, that might be it.

 

[patoaflac]

Aggg

 

[sean1562]

2 runs is kind of a lot with how grienke is pitching. t hey need to put together better ABs
