6/20: Open Game Thread, Part 2

Tiny by Jeff on in Game Threads Comment 778 comments

I just got home to find out that it's the bottom of the fourth of a 0-0 game and Erik Bedard is no longer pitching. I am afraid to find out what happened.

I was late to the game thread

Did we already have a discussion about why the fuck WFB is starting in CF? Versus a right handed pitcher? what the fuck.

Oh.

I guess that’s actually decent reasoning. I’d still have to think Reed has more upside (on a game-to-game basis), but at least there’s SOMETHING behind it.

No, I don't hate the Nats. They made be made of fail, but they didn't try to softsoap me in the preseason by building expectations

And while their offseason moves haven’t really worked out for them either, they were smart gambles made by an underrated GM working on a strict budget. The Nats suck, but it’s a likable sort of suck.

And our farm system kicks the crap out of the M’s.

This is going to be another horrible series.

Washburn and Silva to round out the series. Awesome. And we still have Sexson.

WTF getting a walk is NOT gritty

opposite of grit, also give us a higher WE, and thus lower chances of getting Stras

He fought Qui-Gon in the desert of Tatoine just before they got on the Queens ship.

However, he only used one blade of his double lightsaber during that fight scene.

Does that mean Riggleman will be open to using a closer in a non-save situation?

Or was that driven by the fact that outside of Beck and Muholland the bullpen brought the suck?
