And Turner. And Eaton.

Also getting tired of playing people out of position and the poor defense that comes from it.

Soto really acts like a major asshole. Hope his career falls off a cliff.

.

Washington really corners the market on asshole baseball players.

but Mickey has already used 100 pitchers the last 2 innings so it is what it is.

Let’s see some of those dancing moves now!

Cabrera

Mickey fucking blows. I know there aren't many great options in this BP but boy does he have the reverse midas touch.

You see? Any one of these armchair managers here on BBI could manage light years better than Mickey. I vote for you Eric.

Familia in with bases loaded?

for Cabrera. Not surprised he came through. Wish he was still in blue and orange.

Well, we have 9 outs against their shitty pen. Let’s do it again.

Once Gsellman put 2 on with less than 2 out they were likely getting a run. But yes I would have went to Familia over Wilson. Mickey went with a lefty because the next 2 hitters were lefties Soto, Allen, but left himself with a bad matchup vs. a clutch cabrera. When Familia is on the matchups don't matter and he was coming into this game at some point anyway, I would have given him the tough spot and saved Wilson to hopefully start the 8th clean. Familia and Wilson have both been bad this year and better lately, but we've seen Familia houdini literally dozens of times in big situations whereas we've seen Wilson do it once or twice maybe? In a game without Lugo we have to trust Familia (& Diaz) to turn things around, if they don't we aren't likely to go far.

would have been nice to get that call obv

But Mr RISP is up fwiw

and work a pitcher until they can make hard contact. Makes life so much harder on these middle relievers in big spots to not get easy K's. Ramos, McNeil, Panik, lately Rosario, obviously Conforto/Alonso/Davis are never easy at bats. They make these RP's work.

Here we go boys

!!!

just throw it like that from the stretch. If Frazier and Panik make outs right away I'd consider letting him bat and come back out in the 9th.

Familia is the closest we've ever had to a guy who rises to the occasion and gets better in big spots. Every reliever gets beat once in a while, not very many have locked down 6 out saves on the road in the playoffs.

might as well have Familia hit even if guys are on...

exactly - unless Panik gets on there is minimal reason to PH here. If Mickey hadn't used his entire BP already it would be a different story, but he has, so...

What a fuckin bum.

If we tie this game and it goes to extras we’re going to be in an awful spot.

Diaz vs. top of Nats lineup should be interesting. Would be nice to see him do what Familia just did and at least build up a little confidence.

Is there really nobody in the farm that can bat better than .075?

he needs to be gone. Might as well have kept Gomez for his bat compared to this. Better off even PHing w/ almost any SP

That would be the best move.

Mickey don't plan good. Or think good.

it would be really nicer to get a win here. As much as Mickey does his best to thwart that.

Because Mickey literally can't stop himself from making the wrong decisions. If he was going to PH there, he would have been smarter to use Syndergaard or Matz or Stroman. Or burning Nido. All would have had a better shot at tying the game than Altherr - who should be cut.

Definitely. But like I said b4, this game would have been mostly solved if JDG hadn't flubbed that out at first, or at least better if they saved the 3rd run. Really crappy one to L, would be a new way for JDG to get a ND / L

this team 3 straight losses if not for amazing comebacks. If this is the only one that happens we'd still be coming out ahead, but it would be nice if he hadn't wasted Familia and Diaz until the last 2 innings of this series already behind as opposed to pumping both Gsellman and Wilson twice in 3 games with each giving up runs both times.

It ain’t the juiced balls...he just blows.

really shoulda had Familia in fwiw. Not that he's some huge upgrade, but he was rolling. While Diaz in spite of getting close issued a walk again, then that...
