Gimme an I, gimme a G, gimme a T - 9/12/13 - Nats @ Mets

[Zvon]

Its wacky weird as Harang knotches his 10 k of the day.

There were five in the first game alone and three more today.
Hell, I think the Nats have hit six or seven just in the four first innings of this series.

Well, if we're going by how it feels you're in better shape than I. I feel like they hit a few dozen.

They really ought to be starting Brown. How did he fall out of the rotation so fast?

[Zvon]

Nice try Lags. Shudda had it tho. You're that good.

[Frayed Knot]

Harang, followed by Feliciano, followed by Atchison.
Go AARPs!!!

The commitment to getting den Dekker time has knocked Brown outa time.

[Zvon]

Thank you for allowing EY to steal Laggy. Now drive him in!

[Edgy MD]

RageWynn ?@RageWynn 4m Omfg Frank Francisco wear your hat like the grown ass adult you are you fucking buffoon.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Our bullpen has suddenly and convincingly become the worst thing ever.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Now Jason Werth is going all Rage Wynn at Francisco

[Zvon]

Hmm. Interesting. FF plunks Werth, probably intentional. Shaddup and go to first Werth.

[Edgy MD]

I just mentally designated Francisco for assignment.

Francisco, Felciano, and Byrdak, that's three guys who've spent half the year recovering, rehabbing, and minor-leaguing, none signed for next year, all getting real innings and stuff.

[Zvon]

Duda didn't hesitate, I'll give him that. Be careful Tejeda..

It's the only contact Beardo has had all day.

Seriously, Francisco. What in the world? If Terry were really trying to make an impression to get re-signed, would he be pitching this guy?

[Zvon]

Ronnie says that should have been FFs last pitch in a Met uniform. You go guy.

Nice play Lucas.

[Edgy MD]

Speak the truth to power, Ronnie.

How much of TCs planning do you think is, not dictated, but suggested to him by the Alderson side of the camp? It could be he has been told that certain players need to be seen, or looked at. Showcased? If this were earlier in the season I would agree with you.

[Edgy MD]

Maybe, but (1) the official position is that Terry needs to showcase himself, and (2) as if Francisco is going to be re-signed?

Terry, whatever his graces, is bringing his horse down the home stretch in a most Art Hovian manner.

[Frayed Knot]

I'd find it real hard to believe that anyone in the front office is even nudging (much less pushing or ordering) Terry to pitch Frank-Frank as often as possible.

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Hey, a home run for the Nats.

[Frayed Knot]

13 - 0

[ashie62]

I know Terry doesn't have much to work with but this is embarrasing of late...

Nice job Harangutang, you may be a 2014 Met...

Likely Davey's last game managing in NY. I think for a goof
he corked a couple dozen bats for this series.

[Zvon]

At least we got innings from Harang. If he's hungry to pitch we have innings to feed him.

@AdamKilgoreWP: "It's a good thing we don't play them again." -- Davey on Francisco hitting Werth.

Davey, STFU. We love you, but no one is defending FF and you're never going to manage a game against "them" again so stop the big talk.

[G-Fafif]

Only the second-most pathetic four-game series at Citi Field of which I attended three-quarters (all but the Wheeler start). The August sweep by the Rockies last year was slightly worse. Nats can slug, Mets can't hit, the paid attendance figures were fraudulent and there ya go. Perhaps 400 people remained by finale's end.

FF pretty clearly intentionally plunked Werth. It earned him half a Schaefer point from me.
