Nationals (Corbin) vs Brewers (Woodruff): 9/17/23, 1:10pm

[ReverendBrewmeister]

Washington gets it done with their 11th Inning Manfred Man. Going to take two runs to win. 

[yourout]

While they're scoring more runs the fact that this is the third time in eight days that they went nine innings on one run or less is still concerning

[willie key]

the guys we have coming up are not made to small ball one home.     Hopefully someone hits one far.     I’m sure they are swing for one.    Ugh

[yourout]

I expect a k from rowdy

[markedman5]

That one hurts

[Brian]

Oh well its over, can't win em all. 

[yfinn6]

Did Rowdy pinch-hit for Monasterio? Would have rather just seen him bat vs Rowdy in that situation. Oh well. 

[HarryDoyle]

Well, that's two games Wisconsin teams lost that they should've won.

[yourout]

1 for 11 with RISP 

[AKCheesehead]

Bummer.  It felt like we really needed a sac fly (or hit) from Frelick or Canha in the 10th.

[Sugarrayray]

Well, they had to lose sometime. Just sucks that they did it on a couple baserunning blunders.

Can’t believe that double play to end the game. Just shrug at that, I guess. 
 

But this type of offensive performance is what we can potentially dread seeing show up in a playoff series. As noted above, there is that concern over lack of run scoring with this lineup. 

[Sugarrayray]

On top of the 1 for 11 of course.

[wOOgiE22]

Left handed pitching, the Brewers kryptonite 

[willie key]

Tellez is just so bad.      Why bat a guy who can easily hit into a double play.     The guy sucks

Actually the time to use him was the last Monasterio AB.

Tellez reached base three times yesterday.

[Brian]

Tellez is bad now and to think he hit like .300 in the WBC. 

[brewers888]

No reason to go crazy over a loss but the fact is this lineup sucks and its going to be very difficult winning playoff series without anyone even close to being a star.

No he went in on the double switch when Turang ran for Santana……Donaldson was removed.

I couldn't help but notice a big contrast today. Very 1st inning. Nats were rocked by the late heroics yesterday. Corbin immediately has a 1st & 3rd, one out to deal with, including issuing a walk. Here we go again? Pressure all on the pitcher? Nope. Without seeing a pitch yet in the game Willy swings at the 1st pitch & pops up.

Compare that to Frelicks' last AB, where he drew the walk to load the bases. No, it didn't lead to a run, but just such a complete contrast w/regards to "owning" your AB, as opposed to wanting to get it over with.

Pretty nice job by the "B team" bullpen. Just couldn't get the sticks going.

[yourout]

Sure seems like lately it's either a big inning or no inning.

While it's nice to be able to have big innings when it becomes playoff time it's going to become more important to be able to scratch a runner two more often

Its hard to score when you have no stars in the entire lineup and when it usually takes 3 hits since we have so little power.

"No reason to go crazy" ... but you're going to follow it up with a completely hyperbolic statement ripping on the hottest team in baseball. Got it.

Nothing hyperbolic about saying this offense sucks. The team has a great pitching staff and a lineup that will probably be the worst of any playoff team.

Gotcha, thanks.
