The Washington Nationals Thread

Given the Dodgers' sudden decline, the question now becomes whether or not to rest the starters, or keep pushing for home-field advantage in the playoffs?

Colorado and Arizona have high powered offenses that I just don't think the Nats could match up with despite how good our hitters have been this year. Chicago's pitching is in disarray and the Dodgers don't really have a lot offensively. Nats and Dodgers face off this weekend, if the Nats make up any more ground then I think you gotta push it and hope Milwaukee sneaks into the wild card game and wins.

Note to Ted.

This is what a well-run franchise with an excellent GM looks like.

Strasbourg & Scherzer both have been dealing with nagging stiffness/cramps. I'd rest them for the playoffs. And after the last series with Milwaukee I'm not in any hurry to face them again, but I maybe saying the same about the Dodgers after we face them too. :lol:

Strasburg pitching a 1 hitter going into the 6th inning. He's looking strong tonight. The one hit was a infield single off Zimmerman's glove. He's having a great year. Just gotta stay healthy.

I bought my nephew who is 1 1/2 a Bryce Harper shirt. His father (my brother-in-law) is a Cubs fan.

I think Game 1 is a must-win. With Scherzer being iffy and Gio pitching like crap the last few weeks or so, it's hard to be positive that the Nats will finally win a playoff series. Hope I'm wrong but not feeling too positive about this series.

Happy to see Robles on the roster.
Hope Goodwin is ready. He hasn't been in the lineup since his injury awhile back.
