Not AJ Hinch's greatest night.

How 'bout Soto? How effen good is he gonna be?

And FWIW, I wouldn't use Statsburg.

If I'm Martinez, I stick with Corbin in the 8th.

Correa victimized by Little League strike call.

Bring on the robot umps!

Maybe Martinez was the mastermind behind the 2016 Cubs.

Eh ... next guy woulda hit into DP anyway.

I'd stick with Corbin for 9th. He's dealing and he's only thrown 43 pitches. And I don't trust any of their relievers.

It looks like Hinch will have lost this without using arguably the best pitcher in baseball, who was rested and ready to go.

The identical words I was going to type

Got pre-game advice from Showalter.

Not to sound like an anti-analytics codger but ... that incredible Morris-Smoltz war of 1991 couldn't happen today. They'd have both been taken out after 7 innings.

It'd be a real shame if the Astros scored one run in the bottom and lost by the one insurance run Osuna gave up. A real shame.

(Greinke deserved better.)

Sometimes I hate living in the Eastern time zone.

The analytic departments are making a lot of the decisions that used to be strictly managerial decisions.

Sox four consecutive complete games in the '05 ALCS will never happen again.

[Jockey]

300 game winner may never happen again.

[MU82]

Nice work by Hudson finishing it off. I really like the Nats' "story." Glad they won.

True dat, Dish. And Contreras threw 8 1/3 innings in G1 before all the complete games started. Amazing

Numerous pitching records will never come close to getting broken. That's ok. Change happens.

[Jockey]

Good tallkin' with you guys. 


Be well.

[Dr. Blackheart]

Seven game series...the home team was 0-7.

[Dish]

Amazing that Nats were 19-31. I remember around Memorial Day wondering if they were gonna trade Strasburg and Rendon. I really enjoyed this series, cool to see a team that was close the last few years get over the hump. Party on to any Nats fans out there.

Congrats to the Nats.    Went to their home opener this season with my family.    The return of Bryce Harper with the Phillies.    Trea Turner broke his hand.    Phillies won.    National fans were pretty despondent about the rest of the season.     But, their team survived Harpershima.

Side note:   Now the entire starting rotation of the 2014 Tigers have won rings.    Verlander, Scherzer, Price, Porcello, Sanchez.     Not that I am bitter or anything.

Good morning and congrats to the Nats and their fans. The team earned a World Championship. It truly did.

Has there ever been a World Series where the road team won every game? Incredible!

[Hards Alumni]

Congrats to the Nats and to my cousin who is a Marquette grad who works for the team!

So I wonder who will acquire Cole next season. My Yanks sure need starting pitching, but I'm not so sure they'll go after him.
