GDT: 2019 NL Wild Card Game: (WC1) Washington Nationals vs (WC2) Milwaukee Brewers

[Del Preston]

The umpire is concussed.

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Are we back in 1997 Marlins-Braves NLCS with this strike zone?

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Moustakas blows it with awful throw

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

Those strike calls were hilarious.

 

[BMOK33]

Moustakas blows it with awful throw

The throw wasn’t the problem as much as Thames badly misplaying it. There’s a route to get the runner there but Thames didn’t recognize it was a bad throw til very late which gave him no shot to get the body position he needed to turn and get the runner

 

[SSF]

with Laz Diaz being the replay official, you just never knew

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Brewers escape

 

[BMOK33]

He missed location by about 3 feet there but it worked

 

[OhCaptainMyCaptain]

Man, Nationals may have just blew their chance...

 

[BMOK33]

Man, Nationals may have just blew their chance...

They’ve got 6 outs left. Hader on 3 days rest is gonna be automatic

 

[SSF]

Pomeranz for 2 and then Hader for 2 I presume.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

[BMOK33]

.

I’m assuming Hader pitches the 8th and 9th

 

[EpochLink]

It’s Strasberg Time y’all

 

[BMOK33]

So even if the Nats win they have no Strasburg or Scherzer til game 3. Not sure they’d beat LA anyway

 

[Deen]

I don't like this swing at the first pitch "thing".

 

[AdmiralsFan24]

I don't like this swing at the first pitch "thing".

Rob Manfred on the other hand is as hard as he's ever been.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

That was nasty pitch to end inning

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

The Nats big bats go quietly in the 6th. Hader looms.

 

[BMOK33]

He knew what was coming there and clearly sat on the curve and missed it anyway

 

[Benneguin]

How did Pomeranz become a thing again?

 

[BMOK33]

For a nationally telecast game this thing is moving but wait a second we will waste 5 minutes in the bottom of this inning with 40,000 people holding up signs and singing 3 songs

 

[Del Preston]

Feels like a quick game but they are already two hours in.

 

[MattySnipes]

Strasburg is SO good. Damn.

 

[EpochLink]

Strasburg is SO good. Damn.

they should’ve used him
