Thanks Mel....after so many bad years it's great to have a contender finally. Not sure the Nats are playing well enough right now to win it all but if you're in ya got a chance. Braves are really hot and pitching better than anyone right now. Kimbrel is lights out in the pen while Nats closers have cooled. Should be great playoffs with a lot of teams having excellent shots to win it all.

Nellie, just like the Nats did with Jordan Zimmerman last year they shut him down after 160 innings. Both pitchers coming off Tommy John and the doctors seem to think about 160 innings is the first year back number. (but I think they keep him out) (now dreaming..lol)I'm still not counting Stras out for playoffs as even 12 innings with his stuff would be a heckuva a boost. Nats had a great season from all starters and had no injuries there and won with depth. Now when you shrink the rotation and eliminate Strasburg they look average at best especially looking at last 6 weeks performances. Nats closers have cooled off too. Braves are hot...look out. Giants have better 3 man staff..then Reds have great balance....it's wide open as we say here!

Good luck to all.......

I think the Orioles have a bout 15 relievers on their roster today. Doesn't matter who starts. Plus the way the Rangers choked down the stretch. I don't think they bounce back.

It would be riots in the streets here if the Sox shut down their best pitcher & be down in a playoff series.
Rizzo the GM must be quaking in his boots.

Jayson Werth with the walkoff. Nats still alive. Don't really care who wins game 5. I just hope it goes 30 innings! The real Rolling Stones tongue

Johnson is a pretty stubborn manager and won't change the lineup. Desmond should be hitting second and drop Harper who is over matched down in order. Put Lombardozzi at second as Espinosa is a strikeout waiting to happen. This is the game they reqally needed Strasburg. Getting past Cards with two lefties in a row will take a miracle. Course so was Werth going yard.

Probably been said before, however, does Werth do the Geico ads?
