Markakis strikes out to end the inning. Grilli time!

Grilli has the bases loaded with no outs. :banghead:

Nemesis21 · Post #12 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:08 pm

PH S Drew strikes out, bases loaded with 1 out. We need a double play real bad.

Nemesis21 · Post #13 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:11 pm

Taylor with a sac RBI fly out to LCF, tie game 3-3. Fredi maybe should have stuck with Vizcaino.

Nemesis21 · Post #14 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:14 pm

Rendon flies out to CF. PH K Johnson, Pierzynski and Beckham due up in the 9th.

Nemesis21 · Post #15 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:15 pm

Kelly Johnson draws a PH walk to start the 9th!

Pierzyski hits into a dbl play, :banghead:

Nemesis21 · Post #17 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:19 pm

Beckham strikes out on 3 pitches. To the 10th we go.

4-3 Nats in the 10th. Fredi costs us a win yet again with his stupid management of the bullpen. Should have let Viz pitch another inning, he had a stress free 8th inning and throws harder than Grilli. Bad starts to the season from Grilli and EOF.

Nemesis21 · Post #19 » by **Nemesis21** » Mon Apr 4, 2016 11:43 pm

Nats win 4-3, F/10

I've blamed Fredi for a lot of bullpen mismanagement in the past, and rightfully so, but I can't blame him for putting in Grilli. He's our closer, and he had a great year last year before injury, he's the guy we go to in the 9th.

Grilli actually got out of that bases loaded jam in the 9th. Got a strikeout and shallow flyout, where Inciarte made a very good throw on time to get Werth out at the plate, but Pierzynski couldn't hold on. If there's anyone to blame, it's him.
