Nats 2012 Regular Season Thread

It'd be really nice to see Flores get the bat going.

 

[apachef4]

Nats down in order in the 5th. The first half of this game took 1:02. That's quick.

 

[Lumbee09]

Looks like Gio forgot all about his last start vs. the Mets. He's hot tonight.

 

[apachef4]

Mets down 1-2-3 in the 5th (13 pitches that inning for Gio).

Yes he is, unfortunately, so is Dickey.

 

[Lumbee09]

LAROCHE!

 

[apachef4]

LaRoche goes upper deck! 3-1 Nats!

 

[apachef4]

Wow, suddenly the knuckler seems hitable.

 

[apachef4]

Bernadina swinging bunt basehit...speed kills. 4 straight hits.

 

[Lumbee09]

Everything going the Nats way now. 5-1.

 

[apachef4]

Flores with the 5th in a row, Esinosa scores, as does Bernadina when the throw gets away. 5-1 Nats. Got that unearned run back for ya, Lumbee.

 

[Lumbee09]

Welp. Dickey is done. Always nice to put up 5 (4 earned) runs against the ace.

 

[apachef4]

Nice to see Gio continue to pound the zone with the lead.

 

[apachef4]

So of course he now walks Torres...

 

[Lumbee09]

68 pitches in 6 innings --- With that pace Gio could see a CG.

 

[apachef4]

2 on and 2 out now for the Mets, bottom 7.

 

[apachef4]

Gio gets out of it nicely.

 

[apachef4]

Moore hits for Gio in the 8th. I thought Davey would let him go at least 1 more inning. Oh well, great bounce back, Gio!

 

[apachef4]

Mattheus in for the 8th.

 

[apachef4]

Valdespin does it again, PH homer. 5-2 Nats.
