vs. NATIONALS, 7/12

[BradyBunch]

Sorry. Lost your license. You had the shoulder destroyed.

Nope said was possible and you still refuse to accept gausman wasnt ready. You can't even admit that and used a bs excuse about roster moves which I've proven you are full of crap over. So move on. I was about his dl stint. Just as I was with Schoop when I say before all star break.

The All-Star game determining home-field advantage for the World Series is another one of Bud's dumb ideas. Just like interleague play.

Chen has only been good in the game. Had he been outstanding, he be up one to nothing.

Not sure you can snap out of randomness.

You can eat Rick Krispies.

Scherzer is fired up today.

When we beat Scherzer last time we had someone named Nelson Cruz in our lineup. Heres what that player is doing this year.

Kind of like that slider he threw to Tori Hunter earlier in the week. I don't understand then strategy behind it, he has pitches to try and get the guy chase before throwing it over the plate.

There is a school of thought that by throwing a fb middle middle at 0-2 you will catch a batter off guard and they will take it for strike three.

Fangraphs did a piece on it, I think it was last year.

Some guys can get away with it.

But perhaps you could randomly snap out randomness in random situations

[O's84]

The ball is smoked and goes right at someone of course.

[MDK02]

Scherzer looks to be going 9.

Swings at first pitch. Great job Parmelee

IS that name calling?

[Jonesy10]

The first damn run in the game is not a big situation?

Hitting .180 in high leverage situations. He gets some hits that turn out to be big but rarely gets hits in situations that are obviously critical to the game.

I think there is a link to repertoire (i.e. the more plane deception you have off a secondary the better the likelihood the fastball will surprise). But I don't remember.

We need a miracle to win this game.
