I’ll take the end result, of course, but when the opposing pitcher spots you five free runners you should really score more than 2 runs off of him. In the event that you can’t hit him, at least run the pitch count up! Especially when he only throws about 50% of his pitches for strikes.
I was worried for a few innings that I might have to perform some honor killings but Ron Villone and Elijah Dukes helped me out there. Thanks, guys, I do appreciate it.
CC Sabathia looked okay tonight but I was nervous at times because he 1) Wasn’t striking anyone out; 2) Balls were getting hit pretty hard off him. Sometimes you don’t have your best stuff, but the least he could have done was let some good hitters smack him around instead of like, Wil Nieves.
But the end results were good and I won’t worry unless this keeps up. God Bless you, Nationals bullpen.
