GDT 9/12/18 Washington Nationals (Strasburg) @ Philadelphia Phillies (Nola)

[LoneStarPhan]

Bringing in a pitcher who gets an out and then making a change is just idiotic in this game. This is not the World Series. Let's see what our bull pen pitchers can do by giving them a chance.

In play, out(s) (83.6 mph changeup)

Left Seranthony out there last night until the lead disappeared, now playing matchups after we've given up all hope.

Nats broadcasters are now talking like they still have a chance to catch the Braves.

[LoneStarPhan]

Nats broadcasters are now talking like they still have a chance to catch the Braves.

I don't think so but they are at least heading in the right direction.

Being swept by the Nationals in this series would have been disappointing even if the team had struggled all season and were in last place.
