Max Scherzer
vs
Zack Greinke
This is it, the final MLB game of the season. Extract the maximum amount of baseball enjoyment you can because you have only the winter leagues and a stove of indeterminate heat until spring training. Or, you know, there's some other sport happening now too. Finally, there's a bracket that someone will win tonight.
Guuuuuhhhhh I can't stand Joe buck.
I have always had issues with people who like the sound of their own voice. Joe Buck is the poster child for such people.
According to the twitters, it should be fun watching Wolves highlights tomorrow.
And there's no deadspin left to cover it, dammit.
Greinke can field okay.
lets go nats!
Dave Martinez is playing with some fire here, seeing as how Scherzer can't hit the broadside of a barn tonight.
At some point you can't let the starter that refuses to stop continue pitching. Scherzer clearly isn't at 100% and Corbin should be ready.
Plus at now 84 pitches in the fifth.
you called it
They'll be lucky to get out of this giving up only one.
A terrible swing at a pitch in the dirt qualifies as lucky.
The twins should have traded for Greinke
Six, one-hit shut out innings in Game 7 of the World Series is why you go out and get a Zach Grienke at the trading deadline, regardless of cost.
Though it’s not 7 shut out innings.
If only Scherzer wasn't allowed to struggle through the fifth, it'd be a tie game.
On the board!
DID YOU GUYS KNOW SOTO IS SUPER YOUNG? because Joe buck just mentioned it a f***ing gain.
HOLY CRAP!
Oh what!?!?
WHAT. Wow.
That escalated quickly
seems everyone who plays for the nats is into ducks, or was it trucks?
just checked back, looked at Gameday, and thought hey! runner on first and one out, a HR would put the Nats in front...
Greinke must be thinking he could have done that too.

4ltr's real-time feed outpaces their non-real-time headlines
Hey cheaps, is Soto a young guy?
I'm told he may only be 21
I'm so glad the Astros got Osuna
I like what you did there.
"strike" zone
Blue, that was a pretty ugly call.
Earlier they made a point of saying this was the best rated ball-strike ump in MLB this year. So...robot umps?
Thing is they're more accurate now than they've ever been in history. We just have computers now that show their mistakes unequivocally
But really, robo umps because Angel Hernandez
John smoltz may be dumbfounded by the possibility of a team winning all four road games, but he's an expert on a team winning all four home games.
Eaton should have stepped into that one.
Don’t mind me.
Or not
Can Dolittle get the 9th please?
This is my hope as well
Although, as free noted, Rodney would be pretty cool too.
Enough runs for a Fernando Rodney 9th?
Bring in Groundskeeper Dozier
Adam freakin Eaton.
So much Nats!
I cant imagine cheering for my team in the world series and watching them lose all 4 games at home. How much would that just suck.
Like losing every playoff game to the Yankees I imagine
::Taps nose::
Ok... yeah... so there is that.
And hoo boy does it suck
But, to be faaaiiiirrrrr... I meant purchasing playoff tickets and watching your team lose all games at home. That would be almost as bad as being a Vikings fan, right?
Considering who can afford WS tickets, eff em.
Duly noted. Did not consider that. Agreed.
On that line of thought, the fans that probably had the most fun were the fans watching outside of nationals Park who are definitely not the people who would have been there had this been in Washington.
I’m not upset a certain Supreme Court associate justice just had that experience.
I dunno. They lost every home playoff game against the Yankees I attended!
(Still) too soon.
I want Soto to catch the final out so bad.
So the radio guys didn't get why Corbin pitched in the 8th instead of Hudson. This is why. Hudson can pitch against Springer and Altuve.
WORLD CHAMPION FERNANDO RODNEY
To quote the greatest entrance music of all time: Gonna get lit... tonight!
I am so, so happy I got to see his entrance live at the bullseye.
Same
Well ain't that some shit
This makes me happy. Congrats to the Nats!
Like some others around here, I lived in Washington when the Nats came to town... they've been my NL team ever since. Only the Twins ahead of them for me. So happy.
Houston came up short by just that one trade deadline ace to put them over the top
It's a good thing Soto turned 21 before tonight
Perhaps my favorite use of this meme ever:
Zesty.
Yes. Classic burn.
The Nationals bullpen had a 5.68 ERA in the regular season and a 4.03 ERA in the World Series. The Astros bullpen had a 3.75 ERA in the regular season, second best in the AL, and a 5.73 ERA in the World Series.
...second best in the World Series
A poor time to be consistent in your second place ranking.
