Did Verducci refer to Jordan Zimmermann and Stephen Strasburg as "Tommy John survivors?!?"

People need to stop saying Jon Jay is fast.

Strap in. This could be a long half-inning.

Mathney's bullpen management is as predictable as the reflexively angry reaction I get when I say "You know, the Palestinians really do deserve their own country ..." within earshot of my mother-in-law.

I don't know who hits 15 home runs on this team.

Heyward should be able to roll over a grounder to 2nd, right?

Nope, but he struck out on a wild pitch.

Just for shits, Matheny should send Kozma to the on-deck circle.

 
Ha!

How the hell did they get out of that?

Why are we being subjected to McCarver's inane babble?

Costas and Smoltz had Ramos playing a carom off the bricks in back of the plate before he threw out Heyward at first on the dropped third strike in the top of the ninth,
 

McCarver had Molina knocking the ball out of Ramos' hand with the backswing on Kozma's stolen base.

The worst though was probably a full minute or more of complaining because the Nats didn't start the runner on 3-2 with Uggla at the plate. Apparently McCarver isn't aware Uggla strikes out once every 3 at bats. "If you're that worried he won't make contact, he shouldn't be pinch hitting."

"McCarver had Molina knocking the ball out of Ramos' hand with the backswing on Kozma's stolen base."

Smoltz saw the same thing.

Small sample size and all, but Heyward is fucking terrible. I think he's squared up about six balls so far. I'm also pissy that they couldn't get a run.

 

Stl media want so bad for this not to be true.  It just is tho. He is as athletic as they come.  He just cant hit.   
No way would i extend him.  Hd isnt a 15 million dollar player, let alone 20
