That is just unbelievable. Simply not believable.<br /><br />He thought he would get away with it.

Solano is more than competent as a back-up. Mr. Suzuki provided some real service to the Nats last year and did yeoman's work behind the plate earlier this season. Wish him well. But can Mr. Solano get to KC in time for Friday's game?

But he wasn't, and it's Davey/McCatty's/Suzuki's job to know that, and take action. Davey has been greedy all season; he said Ohlendorf should only have gone 80 pitches yesterday, but he tried for that extra inning--you would think he would have learned from the last time he let Ross O go too long. <br /><br />It's just like the old saying, there isn't enough time to do it right, but there's always enough time to do it over. <br /><br />So trying for that extra inning from Ohlendorf didn't save the bullpen, it just ended up putting Roark in there with men on base and probably not warmed up enough. Trying for the Stras complete game ended up with it worse than being sensible and bringing Soriano in. IF you don't trust Soriano, or don't want him three days in a row, let Storen close. <br /><br />NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-74453591008580358192013-08-22T22:45:37.296-04:002013-08-22T22:45:37.296-04:00All I have to say tonight is this- every single so...All I have to say tonight is this- every single solitary day there is some new and creative situation that happens in the game that causes me to want to laugh or cry all at once.
