I.G.T. 8/1/15 deFeat the Nats Wash @ Mets deGrom v. Ross

[Fman99]

Good stuff tonight.

[Frayed Knot]

2 games, each decided by 1 run, and a total of 21 innings of baseball where the largest lead has been 2 runs and it's been a 1 run lead or tied for 17 of those 21 innings.
And yet Matt Williams hasn't found a spot to get either of his top relievers into either game.

Fine by me Matty boy.
Save 'em for tomorrow when we'll be up by a half-dozen or so.

Four straight appearances for Robles.

Another great game! Going for the sweep in front of a national TV audience...it would be quite a statement.

It's the most important game ever played in Citi Field.

Biggest game in the history of history!

That's the funny thing. The whole Cespedes-or-Duda thing didn't have to happen. You had bullpen options. Bring in a righty to pitch to Cespedes and a lefty to pitch to Duda. Or a righty to pitch to Cespedes and you walk Duda. That was the ballgame right there and you had bullets to fire.
