Farrar Posted October 24, 2019 Share Posted October 24, 2019 I'm another that also roots for the O's on the side. I mean, they were our team for several years. Initially, dh didn't want to switch because we felt a lot of loyalty. So for the first couple of years, we kept rooting for them more. We never went to that first couple of seasons at RFK. And then when the kids were old enough to start actually remembering things possibly, he was like, okay, we're switching! By fiat for the household, lol. But by then I was on board too. Multiple years we've had the mini-package season passes where you get like half a dozen games and the ability to buy post-season tickets. I wish we had that this year. Of course, if we did, I'd probably just sell them and use it to finance a trip to Europe or something. I like baseball, but not, like, THAT much. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here (STL). Not to discount the Nats at all, because they are absolutely on fire. But if I had a dime for every time this season I shook my head at our offense and said, “Right now he couldn’t fall out of a boat and hit the water...” The NLDS and NLCS magnified that. It does feel like every team’s crumbling has been primarily induced internally. Maybe I hadn’t paid enough attention in seasons past (we’d been out of the postseason for 3 years) or the “juiced/nonjuiced ball” issue brought the stats into perspective. But the last week of the regular season, it was a race to see who could lose the least, instead of win the most to clinch those final postseason slots. A lot of bullpens were running on fumes and injuries piled up at the wrong time. I haven’t seen so many teams go that cold at the end in a while. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn’t finish dinner and get back to the hotel until around 9:30. We had the gameon while I was unpacking. Around the 7th inning, I sent the boys to other room to watch ‘cause I couldn’t watch anymore 😬. Maybe they all ate too much of Soto’s b-day cake before the game LOL?!? We will be having fun at an amusement park all day today, hopefully forgetting our sorrows 😂😂😂! We’ll probably get back to the hotel after tonight’s game starts. Supposed to be some rain or showers tonight at home. Hope there are no rain delays. That really messes with the pitching.

Zimmerman was out for a while at 1st. Cabrera seems to be rotating with Kendrick and I don't think his bat has been very hot lately. Kendrick hit well in the NCLS, but had some fielding blunders. It seems Kendrick and Cabrera are being rotated depending on the day. Dozier is in there somewhere too. Don't quote me on any of this though -- LOL. I have to say that we are surprised and very disappointed at where we are coming into Game 6. After the 1st two games, I did not think we would be down a game going back to Houston. Our bats are just not doing well these past 3 games. My boys are extremely upset at the home plate umps calls. They seem a little biased against the Nats and there is a lot of talk about it on the Internet. But...if we were swinging well, it wouldn't matter so much. We left too many on base Games 3 and 4.

I have faith in Strasburg, but Verlander has something to prove after Game 2. And, if we win tonight, who knows who is pitching for us tomorrow. We may watch tomorrow's game if it goes that far :-).

They weren't even fans of either team, but Instagram models (???) wanting to make a statement! Thank you for all of this! Makes sense that they're rotating guys in & out; DH really likes watching Cabrera, as he seems so devoted to the whole "baby shark" hand signals and stuff, no matter what hit he gets. We do like Rendon a lot (well, and he's from here so that helps), and DH has asked if we can plan our "one day" D.C. trip for the spring so we can go to a Nats game (but I guess soon, while Parra is still there, as his whole point is to be there for the Baby Shark craze that takes over the stands when he comes out......). Seems like such a fun team. Believe me, we're just as surprised at the turn in the Series (although of course, our side is happy). Well, our favorite weather guy has been predicting "Astros in 6" since it started, LOL! There was a rainbow ending at our ballpark the start of the Series (day before or something....) and he posted it claiming it was "proof" of the trophy coming our way, LOL! There was also an "Astros Orange" sunset the first night in D.C. and he of course posted that as further evidence we'd win that game,.....it's hilarious to watch his FB page. As far as how things started, a lot of the theory around here is that you guys had so much time off between sweeping St Louis and waiting on us (to rest), whereas we'd just finished w/NY right before.....no idea the validity of that or not, but that's of course the chatter here. Normally we are great at home, not so great away, so it was stunning to us to lose those 2 games, especially with Cole up and then Verlander....ooof, that game was awful for us/great for y'all. I do agree with the home plate calls.....there've been a *few* that seemed slanted in favor of the Nats, but definitely questionable on both sides. The flashers.....ugh. That was pretty ridiculous (luckily it was so fast we didn't see it when it happened, but of course it's making the rounds of the internet...). I'm glad the MLB organization came down hard on them. I hope tonight's game is a good game, either way; so much more fun (although nerve wracking) when it's more competitive/close of a game. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I hold Arthur Ashe's response to unfair calls as the gold standard (See this article, the paragraph beginning with, "After our Sportsman profile ran, we received a letter from a reader, George L. Miller Jr. of Savannah."), I have to say that the home plate umpires have been VERY INCONSISTENT calling the strike zone and it's been against Washington. GRRR!

I must say, I can see why you all love the Nationals so much; I can see us cheering for them from now on, when they aren't playing against us (no matter which way this thing goes....).

Angie in VA Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) Poor Chip Hale having to hold back Davey Martinez!!! He must be sore today. Davey was fired up! ETA: Don't forget Davey missed a bit this season due to a heart condition! I was worried he would have another episode last night! Yay, Strasburg! Gone are the days that Dusty Baker once expressed concern over. You are THE MAN! Keep it going tonight, Mad Max! Now, I will say that I am sorry Soto repeated Alex Bragman's stunt w/ the bat. (Not a typo. Sorry, I don't like his ways.) I'm glad Davey expressed that in the press conference too.

Angie in VA Posted October 30, 2019 Share Posted October 30, 2019 (edited) 11 hours ago, TheReader said: Just came to say, we didn't have our orange sunset tonight, so you guys may get your wish/hopes today after all..... Either way, thank you for being a fun group of people to chat baseball with, and showing what good fans are like, and just being all around FUN to hang out with, even though I'm rooting for the "wrong" team. I must say, I can see why you all love the Nationals so much; I can see us cheering for them from now on, when they aren't playing against us (no matter which way this thing goes....). May all the calls be fair & accurate, may every player be at his best, and (sincerely) may the best team win. Whichever way tonight (and tomorrow, if it comes to that) goes. This! My favorite thing about the Nats' success this year is that it seems to me that it all started when a loving father (Parra) chose his 2 yod's favorite song as his walk up song ("Baby Shark") and then the fans got into it and then everyone - the players and the fans - started having fun. And then the Nats started winning! All from a fun teammate who apparently is big on positive thinking and hugs ("The duration" lol!) Like this article too. Thank you for your example and sorry for my dig at Bregman above. I will say, Houston absolutely deserves to be there, and it has been a wonderful match up. All props to the Astros. We have always liked Jose Altuve. I mean, look at that size and he's a force in Major League Baseball! As for Justin Verlander, he is an outstanding pitcher and from all accounts a great guy. He is from VIRGINIA! Nuff said? *Raising my water bottle to the toast "May all the calls be fair!"* Edited October 30, 2019 by Angie in VA 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
