Lost 7 of last 11. September swoon?
Well part of the problem is Nats can’t beat Braves
I think Rendon is slumping a bit

He's batting .298 with a .553 slugging percentage in September, which I guess for him, is slumping. Others need to step up their game. Bullpen, I'm taking to you.
Why is Rodney still on roster?
Maybe the answer is play Howie every freaking day!
Howie has a triple and a homer in his first two at bats. Dude should be playing every day.

What does the guy have to do?
Against the Cubs in the playoffs a couple years ago nobody could understand why he wasn’t starting every game!
The guy must have terrible interpersonal skills is all I can think of but shouldn’t matter

It seems that going unnoticed has been a recurring theme in his career.

Somebody please break up this f-ing bullpen.
Five innings of no-hit ball by the bullpen in the opener. The Nats should invite me to attend more games.
And I don't like the idea of Scherzer pitching the wild card game. Corbin, Strasburg, and even Sanchez all seem to be pitching better right now.

That’s a really tough call but I would almost surely go with Max…

Yet the 35-year-old’s hiccups raised doubts because the other candidate, Stephen Strasburg, is as durable and dominant as ever. Strasburg is scheduled to start Thursday, putting him on regular rest for next Tuesday while Scherzer is lined up to pitch Sunday and could if Game 162 decides home field. Strasburg’s track record in the postseason — one earned run in 19 innings across three starts — bests Scherzer’s (a 3.73 ERA in 16 appearances).
I get it…
Stras has had a heck of a season

FWIW, Scherzer has been better on the road than at home (7-2, 2.64ERA vs. 4-5, 3.16 ERA).
whereas Strasburg has been pretty consistent home and away (3.39 away vs 3.33 home)
Corbin has been the real star at home (8-2, 1.97 ERA). I'd start him if it was a home game. Though he's pitch on Friday and won't be ready for Tuesday so not really an option.

Since the All-Star Game, here are the ERAs of the Nats starters: Strasburg (8-2, 2.91), Corbin 3.15 (7-2), Ross (4-3, 3.83), Sanchez (6-2, 4.04). Scherzer: 2-2, 4.81.
Took tomorrow off just so I can enjoy the game with some beverages and not have to worry about work…don't blow this Nats.
So it’s Scherzer….

Two runs in the top of the first for the Brewers. Everyone in town saw that coming except Davey.
Tang must be so wasted by now.
