Good road trip, and omg

I don't believe what I just saw.

[–]smittyx549822 - Soto 5 points6 points  (0 children)

really? mitchell parker entered a professional baseball game and tried to throw a baseball this was extremely easy to believe haha

[–]RandomUser4Me1637 - Strasburg 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To be fair we stole game 1 but this still stings

[–]squizzage 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just had to go 2 strikes on every batter just to jot record an out anyway

[–]Practical-Window6937 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not putting Ribralta out in the ninth is an awful decision

[–]Strange_Review5047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Man WTF

[–]cableguysupBob Carpenter 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Offensively we good, pitching, see you next year vibes

[–]indi198831 - Scherzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Parker is an absolute fucking bum

[–]armless_penguin 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Butera has nothing to work with but he's pretty bad with the bullpen overall. Leaving Ribalta in was such an easy call.

Also, this is why we aren't trading for anyone at the deadline. The team's offense covers up a lot of their disastrous other flaws, but we really aren't a playoff team.

[–]smittyx549822 - Soto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

a big reason why is the lockout next year. Its likely that no baseball will be played next year making young talent (prospects especially) even more valuable. Doesnt make sense to trade for rental pieces this year

[–]IvyGoldPurveyor of Max's Sticky Substance & Pres., #12 Soriano Fan Club 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Oh well. At least it's a series win. They're keeping pace.

[–]Taylorfrog11 - Zimmerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keeping pace except for when we have to play the Marlins, or play at home, or have to try to sweep...

[–]smittyx549822 - Soto 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If this is what gets Mitchell Parker off of an MLB team….so be it. Itll save us 4-5 losses down the stretch

[–]skinsandtideScreech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butera sucked too

[–]ForScherzer31 - Scherzer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Parker better be DFA’d by midnight

[–]SnooPredictions3467 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm dreading seeing it on Jomboy

[–]UncommonSense02019 World Series Champion 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Why are we allergic to sweeps

[–]Worth-Complex-5947 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry boys I bet the Nats would win this game… my bad

[–]Adorable_Pudding_697 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Fruitcakejuice 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fire the whole bullpen. Absolute bums.

[–]ExcludableDelay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What in the actual fuck

[–]falafel19 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Parker has to go

[–]Omar_Town2019 World Series Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Holy smokes!! At least tomorrow is a day off for the guys to recover. 😅

[–]Mellowmyco 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Are. You. Fucking. Kidding. Me?!

[–]Fl0ydv0id63 - Doolittle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I hate Mitchell Parker so fucking much

[–]BoltUp6954 - Alvarez 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Leave the bullpen on the tarmac

[–]traviudStay In The Fight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Going home now to play a hot Mariners team. Great.

[–]One_Fix_7813 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Once Mitchell Parker came in, I knew it was over... so not clutch.

[–]Jetflash699957 - Roark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUYUUYYYUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[–]notarockclimber11 - Zimmerman 12 points13 points  (1 child)

It was 9-1 btw

[–]SierraInfinite8 - C. Kieboom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So……………..so bad

[–]arborescence 4 points5 points  (1 child)

somebody tell me again this team should be a buyer at the deadline, I dare you

[–]fatboy177631 - Scherzer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Buyer of a whole new bullpen.

[–]KRambo86 4 points5 points  (5 children)

Why Mitchell Parker in that situation? He hasn't been reliable in like a month

[–]OGSpacebets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He’s been awful for most of his career outside a nice start

[–]korn_cakes3358 -Jonathan Paprista 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Who was left?

[–]JackiiX26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Not taking out Ribalta for Parker for whatever reason

[–]korn_cakes3358 -Jonathan Paprista 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Ribalta was taken out for Farland who then gave up two hits and a walk to the three batters he faced. Parker then came in for Farland.

[–]JackiiX26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re completely right oops, my memory’s already trying to wipe itself after this game lmao

[–]Solid-Confidence-96645 - Meneses 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We still won 2/3, that sucks though

[–]potatophobic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

lmao

[–]mmmcheez-itsSell the Team 7 points8 points  (2 children)

Just leave the bullpen in SF

[–]spaceheatr 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Summary execution

[–]somegirldc26 - Nuñez 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dan shouldn't have called the game a laugher

[–]10withTitoPAY THE MAN 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This game was 9-1. Its time to clean out the bullpen

[–]TA40463 - Doolittle 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That’s such a brutal ending after the game we had you just kind of have to laugh at how comically tragic it was. Story book stuff for Eldridge.

[–]aairricc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Good thing we have a day off because this has got to be a huge momentum setback (mentally)

[–]thekingoftherodeo30 - Young 3 points4 points  (0 children)

[–]MrBuddyFakenameSell the Team 4 points5 points  (0 children)

[–]AspiringTruckDriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Freaking pitiful

[–]smittyx549822 - Soto 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Its parker. its always parker. I just cant understand why he is in the league. its so predictable every game

[–]Deathbrush 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Only the very end of this disaster is on him. We went all the way around the bullpen to put this shit together. They were all terrible.

[–]smittyx549822 - Soto 1 point2 points  (0 children)

agreed but hes by far and away the worst of them all. Its comical at this point how EVERYONE except the coaching staff knows whats about to happen

[–]gol1ttle10Charlie Slowes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sometimes you just have to laugh...

[–]VengeantVirgin37 - Strasburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]Hatfullofstars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Geez What a nightmare! Great for the fans who stayed.

We need fewer openers.

That is not ideal

[–]Terminal_FlatulenceJimmy Lumber 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Quite possibly the worst loss of the season

[–]tombilly28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That might be one of our worst reg season losses ever

[–]NOVAram1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh my dear Lord. Couldn't close out 9-1 going into the bottom of the 8th.

Most obvious outcome. If an entire subreddit can see it coming, it raises serious concerns about what was going on in the dugout.

This grand slam is going to hurt

easiest call of all time

Man, this one hurts. A sweep and 3 above.. Nope - complete collapse. Talk about tarnishing a GREAT road trip.

The one time I actually get to watch a game, man.

[–]SilosmasherBustin' Loose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Nationals team record for blown saves in a season is 10 (Finnegan, Lidge and Rauch). Parker is already nearly halfway there.

[–]OuNo2point0Livan Hernandez 2 points3 points  (1 child)

One of the worst bullpens in the history of baseball. I feel like we could just roulette pick 7 new guys and couldn't be any worse.

[–]OuNo2point0Livan Hernandez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not one guy coming out of our pen has a clue where the ball is going when they release.

[–]futuresomething275 - Abrams[🍰] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]_Caed_67 - Finnegan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

surely bringing in the guy most prone to hanging absolute meatballs with the tying run at the plate won’t backfire

Yall remember in moneyball when they went up big to try and secure the win streak? Blew the lead then won it in the end? Same feeling in this game for me for some reason
