Not sure if the Nats can use any starters in relief tonight, so I wouldn't write off the Dodgers in this one yet.

I was sure that IBB was going to backfire on the Nats. The Dodgers couldn't get anything going all night because of the K's, but the Nats can't tag team Stras and Scherzer every night

wtf
LOS ANGELES — In response to your question — "What the devil are the Washington Nationals doing using their superstar starting pitchers out of the bullpen" — the answer is now clear. The sneaky make-up-our-own-rules Nats are trying to steal a five-game series from the imperial Los Angeles Dodgers
Like a pirate ship sweeping up on a stately frigate with treasure in its hold, the Nats have no intention of playing fair in this National League Division Series or acknowledging any big-league code of conduct or unwritten rules of fair play. They want the gold, the diamonds, and, blimey, the pearls, too.
Thanks to the bizarre, and probably unfair, dynamics of baseball’s five-game Division Series — with those five games spread generously over seven days—it is possible for a team with three fab starting pitchers who are game for the heist to come along aside and, “arrrrr,” board a mightier ship.

xp yeah that's dumb, but it's true the five-game series is flawed this way
― The Ravishing of ROFL Stein (Hadrian VIII), Saturday, 5 October 2019 13:27 (four years ago) link
at the same time, it seemed like the dodgers were regressing to their undisciplined plate approaches that screwed them last year. they looked like a different team in that respect when the season began and have sort of been backsliding.

also, relying on Max and Stras this heavily is likely to stop working at some point
― a Mets fan who gave up on everything in the mid '80s (Dr Morbius), Saturday, 5 October 2019 13:55 (four years ago) link
It looks mike Max is enjoying this approach so far. not sure if Strasburg was appreciating it as much.

Everybody (incl. on this thread) forgets that Corbin put together a really nice season for the Nats this year (4.8 fWAR, #13 SP in MLB) or (5.4 bWAR, tied for #10 with Soroka in MLB)

ehh. i'm willing to cut dudes some slack on running out routine ground balls during a 162-game season, but it's not like he crushed that ball -- he sliced it into the corner
it didn't matter, but it might have. obviously sitting him would be ridiculous and i do not now hate him or anything, but i don't think it's too much to ask that players run hard in the playoffs

I don't either... but making it the #1 postgame talking point is very mulish.

Cole's control was ridiculous last night, especially considering the major action he was getting.
Cole was good in Pittsburgh, but what did he figure out that he did not used to have?
