Makes you wonder if the 6 days of rest had him feeling rusty. I can understand wanting to get as much out of Yo as possible, though. You want to save the pen with Estrada starting the second game.

Inability to get the clutch hits in game one really took the momentum out of our sails...same thing today. Bats need to come out big in game two...

Aside from last years game, I feel like Marquis has Koufax numbers vs thhe brewers. Maybe I'm misremembering

Listening to the Nationals announcers anticipate a possible series sweep with Livan Hernandez going in the next game is not fun.

Livan owned us last year iirc.

Yep, complete game shutout. But since we rocked Marquis last year and he owned us this year, that must mean that we'll own Hernandez this year. We can only hope I guess.

Because they've had the pleasure (or displeasure) of watching Marco Estrada firsthand so they know what they're up against. I'd be very confident too if I were them.

According to Bob Uecker, Ian Kintzler is pitching for the Brewers. A couple weeks ago Brian McMan was the Braves catcher and Yuniel Betancourt was the Brewers shortstop.

My take on this game is that Gallardo threw too many curveballs and consequently, too many pitches. He was worn out by the end of the game. I guess it never occurred to him or Lucroy that the Nats gameplan was to up his pitch count. Strike one, strike two and then the curveball. Especially against this team which has almost no hitting.

 

My pet peeve, if a team wants to give you an out, take it. Fat curveball to Marquis to prevent him from giving them an out--right. Thanks for letting me vent.

I think Uecker said that he had a 5-8 record with an ERA over 5 in his career against the Crew.

 

So much for that today.

At the very least, putting a couple runs up in the 9th makes me feel a little better about the offense heading into the second game.

Does anyone know how we rank with RISP? Seems like it must be low, as usual, and today it really showed. Left a lot on base
