My Nats.

@approxinfinity I agree. THink back to the TTech Virginia final with Auburn and some other new team there. It was really enjoyable since my teams couldn’t be there.
-
@wissox I guess it was Michigan St at that final 4 so there was one blueblood still there but Tech shoved them out of the dance.
-
average playoff game has lasted 3:31 and generally they’ve been low scoring affairs. zzzzzzz
-
I mean sure I fell asleep last game until the 9th, but I wouldn’t have if the game didn’t start at 930. That part plus the 4 hour length is double the problem.
Don’t understand why we can’t have both games at same time. I think you lose more viewers because of the late time than you gain from having the games back to back. If the stats don’t bear that out then I think the stats are short sighted. Sure, the immediate stats might show a bump for the night. But anyone wondering why there is attrition and apathy toward the sport has allowed themselves to be completely numb to the quality of the product.
This generation of ratings uber alles has in large part thrown intuition out the window.
-
Still only 2 sub 3 hour playoff games. There’s been twice as many 4 hour games. MLB is too stupid to realize that when your premier games require fans to watch for 4 hours nearly every day that those fans, unless they’re diehards of the teams playing, are not going to stay up late, or spend fall afternoons for 4 hours watching baseball.

SHOUT IT WITH ME NOW!!!
BEAT L.A!!! BEAT L.A!!! BEAT L.A!!! BEAT L.A!!!
-
@approxinfinity BEAT LA!! BEAT LA!!!
-
Strasburg has never been sharper than his last 2 outings. Filthy and under control. Let’s hope he can tap into that a little bit more.
Walker Buehler needs a warm glass of humility.

You really just hate to see the Cards struggling like this… Just hate it…
-
I don’t hate it!
-
The Nats are the team of destiny… Until they arent!

They’re playing the Cardinals, so I’m rooting for them.
Nothing I’d like to see more than an Astros-Nationals World Series, if for no other reason than that means the Yankees and Cardinals both lost.
-
@BShark I’m not a Cards fan, just a Cards admirer.
@justanotherfan I too am hoping for Astros-Nationals. Dynamic pitching matchup it seems.
-
@approxinfinity Mad props to the Nats! Their roll reminds me of the Sox run in 05. 8 in a row!

Yeah!! The team is playing for each other and it’s a beautiful thing. Seeing Parra and Sanchez giving a laughing Strasburg a hug sandwich in the dugout says it all about how this team feels about each other.
Both Max and Stras got hit early then settled. The O has been special this year, and the starters trust they can get them back in it.
-
@approxinfinity - Can you ban yourself from this site until after the World Series? And even after that, never again mention this series. I feel like back in the 80’s when I lived in Houston and rooted for the “Disastros”.
-
@nuleafjhawk woh woh woh. You just won a WS in 2017.
Ryan Zimmerman, Mr. Walkoff and face of the Nationals franchise since their return to DC, may be in his last year as a Nat and has never won a postseason series.
Did you think it was going to be easy?
Is there any shame in losing to a team that’s red hot and hitting the crap out of the ball?
There’s still time for the Astros to make this thing interesting. It ain’t over til it’s over.
-
@approxinfinity blah, blah, blah, blah. Blah. Go 'Stros! Lol
-
@nuleafjhawk LOL judging by the number of your blahs I see that you at least read what I said enough to realize that I made five points
-
-
@nuleafjhawk FS1 is replaying the game. Its in the 7th inning right now if you’re interested. Just getting interesting
-
That’s a long inning as I recall… Might still be going…
-
@approxinfinity You are one twisted sister…
-
First decade in 100 years the Yankees won’t win a series title.
Edit - first decade in 100 years the Yankees didn’t appear in a World Series either.
-
@dylans I like factoids like that. In fact in the last 19 seasons the Yankees have won as many world series as the Angels, Royals, White Sox, Cubs, Phillies, Astros, Dbacks, and Marlins. Even though they spend way more, receive way more media attention, are shown more often on national TV, receive favorable timeslots for postseason games. I will ignore the fact that they won 3 of 4 WS during the last part of the 1990’s!
-
@wissox ha. In the last decade, KU basketball has won as many NCs as Loyola. Ain’t that right @loyolstud88 ?
-
Looks like you get one more game @approxinfinity
-
@dylans After the Nats started the season 19-31, they’ve had the exact same W-L at the Astros.
Max Scherzer, 3 time Cy Young winner, says the cortizone shot worked and his neck is feeling good. If we outduels Zack “Love Child Of Three-Way Between Star Wars Emperor, Jim Carrey, And BeetleJuice” Greinke, anything is possible!
-
The chiefs packers Sunday night game has blown away every World Series game thus far in ratings. Which is kinda crazy considering Houston, I believe is the third or fourth biggest city in this county and it’s been a pretty good series from the little I’ve watched . I don’t like regular season baseball, too many guys standing and not even hustling a bit. But usually the month of the regular season and post season is entertaining.
-
@approxinfinity congrats🥳
️
-
Dam - -well the all mighty Houston Astro’s all mighty pitching staff that was suppose to be untouchable wasn’t quite mighty enough. - -Didn’t really phase the Nats hitters that much.
Verlander was subject to the long ball all through the playoffs - -Cole is more likely then not taking his show to another team from the way it sounds - -it’s ok - -I’ll be able to sleep just fine though - - on to next year - - Congrads the Nationals
-
Amazing series. Winning four road games (and weathering 3 losses at home) is about as incredible and unlikely way to win the WS as I can imagine.
When the Astros took out Greinke in the the 7th, I knew it was the crack that the Nationals needed. The home run was more of a fluke: 2 hits in 6 1/3 innings! And they took him out! The Astros’ manager blinked.
I think if they leave Greinke in, he closes that inning with a 2-1 lead and most likely the Astros close out the game.
-
Congrats @approxinfinity! Magical time of year. You win a WS and now after a few days, the Jayhawks play! And when the Jayhawks win it all in April, baseball will be starting again!
@bskeet I think you’re right. Hintz blew that game. I even think he hurt Greinke’s fragile psyche by having Cole up throwing even though Zach had only given up 1 hit.

Umm the Jayhawks play tonight. Don’t wait any longer than necessary!
-
Thanks guys. I’ve been pretty sentimental about this team all day. Great group of people. Consumate team. Very happy for them. This one meant a lot.
-
@approxinfinity happy for you. This Nats team reminds me a little of the 2014 and 15 Royals. Just make the simple plays against a team that has spent 2 times as much on players. Definitely one of the oddest WS in memory. Has the road team won every game before?
