Orange Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Isn’t this just Kershaw being Kershaw? He chokes like Himmler, every year. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBug708 Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 The bigger question was why was Kershaw there? It wasn't the 4th inning and we needed to eat some chunks of innings. It was the 7th and we needed to get one batter out and he did. The 8th started poorly and should have been yanked after the first HR. Instead he pitched to a righty who was their best player. Just like Kelly gave up the grand slam, but he should not have been pitching a second inning. We apparently didn't trust Maeda/Kelly to pitch with a 3-1 lead, but we did in a 3-3 game? Baffling, especially since Kershaw was, in the end, our third best pitcher. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorcho Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Nats have some serious momentum, there have been several teams that won the wild card play in game and then went on to win the whole thing. I could see it happening again this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's zero reason to pull him because of one home run when he's one of your aces. This is entirely on Kershaw being too fragile to pitch in the playoffs. He does it every year. Lol, there's a reason I called Kershaw choking before this game started. It's his MO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does it every year. that first home run in the top of the 8th was a good pitch by Kershaw, Rendon just went down and smacked it. He's an excellent hitter. That's not on Kershaw or Dave Roberts. The 2nd home run was a bad pitch by Kershaw, it was up and out over the middle of the plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glduck Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Glad Houston won. Not that I have any love for the Astros -- and honestly, Tampa's the easy feel-good story and I'm envious of their small-market success -- but we get the two runaway best teams in the AL to face off against one another for the pennant. It should (hopefully) be great baseball. Whoever wins is going to slaughter the NL in the WS, unless this team-of-destiny thing for the Nats keeps going and Sherzer/Strasburg win every single one of their matchups with Verlander/Cole or whatever passes for the top of New York's rotation.

MrBug708 Posted October 15, 2019 Share Posted October 15, 2019 Strasborg's postseason ERA is about half of what Madbums is. He is going to opt out and make a lot of money from the Yankees or Dodgers or Padres Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be venturing into #oldtakesexposed territory. While I do think Houston (specifically) is the best team still playing, Washington is putting on an absolute clinic.
