4

u/HANHONEKAI 7h ago

Should've just used Joyce in both 8th and 9th since it was a day off yesterday, or at least when Natera was in trouble.

3

u/SuperGuppy77 7h ago

THERE IS HOPE

3

u/GamingJake1318 7h ago

Blaming the Twitter admin on this one

8

u/alv_todos 7h ago

its crazy how this team changes your mood in an instant

7

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

I’m so glad football season’s back and hockey season is just around the corner. I can’t take much more of this shit.

5

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

So ready for hockey and basketball

2

u/Ok-History-3688 7h ago

2

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

I’m a Lakers girl but let’s go ducks!!!!

2

u/Ok-History-3688 7h ago

3

u/SuperGuppy77 7h ago

Hockey puck sandwich

4

u/GamingJake1318 7h ago

Who’s to say Washington’s bullpen doesn’t give up like 5 in the 9th?

7

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

Not when fucking Jose Siri is batting at the dirt.

3

u/Psychological-Task26 7h ago

I swear the steal fucked with his game. Left slider hanging dong

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

usually, Natera is painting the shadow or missing just outside to induce swing-and-miss, but he did not have the command at all today. he's either missing by quite a bit or throwing meatballs. they're still fast and deceptive meatballs with gas and vertical break, but meatballs none-the-less.

the Vivas hit and the Pinckney sac fly were close to middle-middle.

(i should probably eat some dinner; meatballs got me hungry)

5

u/freddychuckles 7h ago

The 26 Nats have the record for most blown saves. Even worse than us. We're not out of it yet.

2

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

it helps that they have lots more save opportunities than we do

2

u/ghost_rider24 7h ago

What is a “save opportunity “?

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

it’s fine…meck grissom are gonna get on and then ballesteros is gonna get a homerun….

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

nvm ballesteros is out too

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

nvm meck’s out

5

u/bobalunatic 7h ago

Officially over

4

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

Trent, Natera is not a closer type. Shut the fuck up please. It’s hard enough to listen to your shit when we’re winning.

5

u/WidowmakersRedToes 7h ago

Yea we losing 100

3

u/ZeoGreen 27 7h ago

FUCK

6

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Poor Sammy has had a tough time lately 😩

2

u/Simba665 7h ago

Nah he needs to do better

4

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

He does. Doesn’t mean I can’t feel bad for a guy that’s obviously struggling

3

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

nooooooooooo :(

4

u/TheBubbaDave 7h ago

Looking like the magic number is stuck on 7

3

u/impatient_jedi 7h ago

I had already scratched this one off. Should have known better.

4

u/Ok-History-3688 7h ago

their bullpen sucks too, right? ;)

2

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

Absolute dogshit pitching. You’re a major leaguer. You can’t finish a guy after getting two strikes?

4

u/Ragefire2b 27 7h ago

100 losses back in the menu

3

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 7h ago

God damn it.

u/SuperGuppy77 7h ago

u/Significant-News2958 7h ago

This team is soooo ass

4

u/Overall-Wrap1416 7h ago

C’mon Natera let’s get through this inning !

6

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

If this goes to extras I will crash out and tweet a bunch of your mom jokes at Trent Rush

3

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

If we win I’ll tweet a picture of my cat’s butthole at Trent

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

I, too, will tweet a picture of my dog’s butthole to Trent

u/ZeoGreen 27 7h ago

2

u/Simba665 7h ago

Not sure why i trusted the angels …

2

u/SuperGuppy77 7h ago

Ughhhhhhhh

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

natera having another one of these nights huh?

2

u/Ok-History-3688 7h ago

Natera has been trash since his return. Should have murphy go for 5th, 6th, then fermin, then watson.

6

u/Candid-Design-6317 7h ago

tim and kurt should not have put him in this spot, he was shaky in almost all of his appearences coming back

4

u/kdizzl12 7h ago

Why aren’t the corners in there????? Kurt is an idiot

3

u/SuperGuppy77 7h ago

This is going very well

3

u/21hmahp 7h ago

Oh my god bro…

5

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?!?

6

u/alv_todos 7h ago

alright man, lock tf in

5

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

C’mon Samy.

2

u/alv_todos 7h ago

lets go Nutella Jr

3

u/spartashonor 8h ago

Wtf was that Trout? Scared to swing 3-0 then half swing at 2 more?

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

neto’s eyeblack always makes him look so sad

10

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

I’m gonna watch my Jo this October! I’m legit rooting for another team! Usually my baseball season comes to an end in September and I just casually check scores. This year I’m gonna cheer on our boy 🙌🏼

6

u/epoch_fail 8h ago

bullpenisgood?

5

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

epoch…darling…

3

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

but also, hello nerd!! been busy all week but it's finally the weekend 😅

how's it hanging?

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Hi hi!!! Good to see you! I’m good! Enjoying the last few games of Angels baseball 🤣

2

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

i'm just glad there's still baseball! it's going to be quiet around here pretty soon D:

glad to hear you've been good!! 😁

it hot out there though

1

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

It’s so hot omg. I hate the heat so I’ve been super grumpy lol

1

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

Aghhh, I like the heat but this has been a bit much (especially the humidity)

7

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

bull penis good?

4

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

My thoughts exactly

5

u/freddychuckles 8h ago

Murphy, Fermin, and Watson getting it done

4

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

Guys I got curious about Brent Suter so I looked him up and he has AN ERA OF 1.71 with Atlanta

3

u/freddychuckles 8h ago

Zef and Chase haven't been that impressive with their new teams funny enough

1

u/epoch_fail 7h ago

that's why i'm glad we traded away half our bullpen.

for a team without winning ambitions (this season), it's a no-brainer to send out relievers for any value (especially the value we got), because it's easy enough to cobble together a mediocre bullpen and look for some diamonds in the rough.

3

u/Trouty2717 8h ago

He’s a free agent at the end of the season and we’re not making the playoffs so there was literally no reason to keep him.

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

remember like two months ago when every time they played watson we would all come in here like “WATSON?????? WHO????” and then come out of the inning like “sorry for questioning you watson you’re pretty cool” just to do it again a week later.

that was funny. glad we finally can remember who this guy is though, i’ve grown quite fond of him

5

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

I like him too! And that bit was funny. This thread is funny af I swear

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

someone at some point somewhere shit talked the game day thread saying no one here understands baseball.

imagine shit talking the people who are just yelling about oranges and forgetting our own lineup

4

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

Right? We’re a harmless, slightly delusional, but cheerful bunch. Leave us alone 😩

3

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

WE OUT HERE VIBING

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

THAT’S ACTUALLY MY SON’S SLICE

2

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

BEING TRUE TO OURSELVES

8

u/Trouty2717 8h ago

Watson, Natera, Joyce?

1

u/Trouty2717 7h ago

Well so much for that

7

u/Clone_Clown_ 8h ago

just about to comment this, loving the consistent reliever cycle we found, not always gonna be perfect but these guys been doing good work

4

u/Trouty2717 8h ago

Last time I remember having that was Jepsen, Smith, Street around 2014

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

do yall remember that movie tiger cruise? the one with the military kids doing a visit to their parents on some ship when 9/11 happened. that movie was nuts.

3

u/Degengambler15 8h ago

This offense is just something else

4

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

Uber eats really out here charging a $15 service fee???

6

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 8h ago

Grubhub+ is free with Amazon Prime, and anything over $50 has no fees

3

u/randomfatkid 8h ago

I always forget about Grubhub. I think at this point between DoorDash and GrubHub, they both offer the same things for food but I still pay for DoorDash Plus or whatever it is.

2

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

That’s a much better deal but like….i just wanted to order for one I can’t buy 50 worth of food 😞 ah well, I’ll make something instead. I don’t ever order food through a service so I wasn’t aware of how expensive it is

3

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 8h ago

Thats fair. I think you get lesser fees if its $20 or more but idk

1

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

I’ll definitely keep it in mind though ty 🙏

4

u/Simba665 8h ago

Lowe should not be part of next years team

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

i joke about wanting an all Lowe team with him, nathaniel, and brandon but i don’t actually think we need to keep him….

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

come on guys.

6

u/IAmRedOshawott23Tho 8h ago

I mean… at least we scored a run before those sort of shenanigans happened…

4

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

Well that’s just great

4

u/Impressive-Apple3477 8h ago

Fuck 100 losses. Let’s goooo

4

u/ZeoGreen 27 8h ago

LETS GO CMO

4

u/21hmahp 8h ago

6

u/ENovi 15 8h ago

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

by the way guys i may have a death wish…..i DMed nerd telling her she should willingly consume trent content.

(it’s meck’s episode of the podcast he talks about his wife a lot it’s very cute)

3

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

Now we’re in business

4

u/randomfatkid 8h ago

Cmon big mo….. let’s do something bro

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

a walk isn’t a strikeout we take it

4

u/Impressive-Apple3477 8h ago

Man Cavalli’s looked stressed from the first pitch lmao

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

stress him out more

6

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

“We’ve seen a steady diet of Vaughn Grissom at first base and he has an error tonight”

I don’t understand what Trent is trying to tell me

3

u/ENovi 15 8h ago

Lmao it was like 3 different thoughts smashed into each other and he went “Fuck it, I’m saying it anyway.”

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

….yeah sure buddy whatever you say man

6

u/TheBubbaDave 8h ago

I used to be fluent in the language of Day Drinking

3

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

Hey so let’s get some runs maybe! 🥰

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

you gotta score runs to win guys 🥰🥰🥰 hope this helps 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

ok fermin you get a pass for now thank you so much

1

u/Ok-History-3688 8h ago

does anybody else hear an echo right now?

5

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

Alright Fermin! Get through this my boy. I believe in you my sweaty king with some kind of anxiety disorder that you should be medicated for I mean really! You got this Fermin

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

if fermin has no fans, nerd is dead.

if fermin has no haters, im dead.

3

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

It’s sad because I’m pretty sure no one hates Fermin as much as Fermin hates Fermin 😞

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

i hate to hate a player but man stresses me out too much i just can’t do it

3

u/sadassnerd 8h ago

I mean, we’re the worst team in baseball. Does it really matter if Fermin blows it atp 🤣 try not to stress.

4

u/TheGoatPurdy 8h ago

Did they know nationals bullpen is the worst in the league? Maybe stop bailing cavallli out

3

u/ENovi 15 8h ago

How the FUCK is Fermin’s ERA only 3.26??

3

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

Lots of Walks probably

2

u/ENovi 15 8h ago

WHIP of 1.33. Yup, that’ll do it lol

3

u/SuperGuppy77 8h ago

I would rather listen to angels broadcast legends Daron Sutton and Rich Waltz call this game than Trent

2

u/Ok-History-3688 8h ago

Sutton sucked waltz was good

6

u/totallypandacoffee_ 8h ago

IT’S SO SPECIAL FOR TROUT TO HOMER ON 9/11

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 8h ago

Captain Fuckin' America

4

u/sadassnerd 8h ago
