Do Not Sell My Personal Information
Well, didn't see that coming.

Pestano and Hags have been death to hitters this year.
 
You guessed it, Acta is a dumbass.
 
I don't really get why Acta pinch ran Marson for Kotchman. I mean, it worked out, but is Marson really that much faster than Kotchman? Just seemed kind of unnecessary.
 
BALLGAME!!!

Thank the old gods and new that we won.
 
Would it have mattered? It's your default response to everything that happens.

If Pestano is your set-up man, why take him out just because he gave up one fucking hit? It's this sort of BS thinking that got us into this mess. I said it before and I will continue to say it until Acta gets fired at the end of another disappointing season, he got fired from the Nationals for a reason. HE SUCKS.
 
Anyone want to answer me about the Marson pinch running situation? I'm legitimately curious, is Marson just faster than I give him credit for? Is Kotchman slower than I thought? You don't often see a catcher being subbed in for speed. It's not like it was Hafner out there.
 
Yeah, lack of talent.

If Pestano blows the game you'd be the first one to jump out of your Iron Man pajamas, race to your laptop and post about how everyone could see Pestano didn't have it.

Which he didnt, for the second straight game. The way Hagadone has pitched, I'm not sure how bringing him in is at all the wrong move.

Pestano was struggling a bit in a tight game. I don't mind going to Hagadone since he has been making guys look silly all season.
 
Pestano didn't blow the game. If he did, I would be pissed at Acta not for bringing in Prestano, but for taking Gomez out. See how this goes? Keep up.

I mean, Kotchman is a bit of a base clogger as opposed to Marson who is at least moderately athletic.

There is a difference, but I'm not sure I make that move either.

Worked out though I guess.
