    he has looked terrible since that start... did it throw him off? Did he hit a wall? .
    His slider left him, fastball location is gone since that start.

    Silver lining: Verlander isn’t starting Game 7. He’s terrible in the WS and in close out games.

    If I was the skipper of the Nats I would send him out there again.. A 3 run lead and the Stros putting up garbage. I would keep someone ready just in case but this is Strasburgs game.

    That’ll be the epitaph on the season tomorrow night i’m fearing. Hate to be negative but I don’t have a lot of faith in Zach he was in trouble that whole game 3, we just managed to get hot bats on Sanchez. Best we can hope for is that Sherzer isn’t himself due to the “injury”. Verlander scared me going into tonight and he proved me right which really sucks cause I wanted him to rewrite his history/narrative, but not to be...

    If you know you’re right why not just let people vent?

    If the team can't beat the Nats at least one time out of 4 at home then they just don't deserve it. They have won some big games at home in the playoffs so it isn't like they aren't capable.

    A great pitcher, but I doubt he has enough in him to go like this, this strong for this long.

    That first game we got to him too, we just didn't get hits with RISP. I'm not scared.

    Yeah that was a failure of an inning.

    Time for another players only meeting. Maybe the boys should sleep at a hotel tonight.

    Hitters just didn't have a plan against Strasberg tonight. He kept them off balance the whole game.

    The guys are already ready to go home.

    I feel like home fans that attended games ought to get some of their money back after this series.

    Well, if we can get through the top half with no more runs there is still a chance for a magical rally to walk off the WS. You never know. But it’s probably gonna be Strasburg to start the 9th.

    Sure, for a neutral fan.

    I would have liked a clean sweep. I'll settle for a game 7 win if that's what we need.

    Stros better have a player only meeting to figure out how to win at home before tomorrow’s game.
