Little bump in the 8th when they tried to stretch him out a bit, but we'll forgive him those last two runs that scored off Gardner.

 

Great, great outing for Scotty. Just the fact that he was able to go 7+ innings is huge. Really looked in control tonight.

 

That is the kind of step I would love to see him take this season.

 

 

 

As far as Jacobs, maybe it's just been his stretches of up and down health, but when he's on it seems like he's bashing doubles and homers in bunches, then he cools off. Like I said, maybe it's health related.

 

Anyway fun to watch when he's on.

 

Nats announcers on the 2nd home run:

 

"Here's the 1-2 pitch to biiiig strong Mike Jacobs"..... (*crack*)

"And just how big and strong is Mike Jacobs?! That one's in the bullpen!"

 

Good nights from all the bats really, Treanor, Uggla, Hermida, on and on...

 

Let's go for the sweep!

Good pitching. Good to see runs not all via the hr. Cantu with his first long ball, and Jake is killin it. Olsen took a page outta Willis book and was working fast but effective, nice to be able to pitch with a huge lead. Oh and welcome back Hermida

Positives

1. A win.

2. Scott Olsen pitches 7.2 innings. HUGE! :D

3. Badenhop looked impressive in his ML debut leading up to Sunday's start. 1, 2, 3 9th inning.

4. Situational hitting...pleasent to watch (or hear...which was the only thing I could do tonight). :banghead

 

Negatives

1. 2 errors in 1 inning...need to avoid those as much as possible (btw, this makes Scott Olsen's outing more impressive. Could've probably gone 9, if it wasn't for 2 errors making him throw about 20 more pitches).

2. Olsen gets charged with 2 extra runs (Gardner, quietly, struggling, early on). :mis2

I can't say definitively, because correlation is not necessarily causation, but his 'cold' period have come when he's been banged up.

Just finished watching a replay of the game. Good stuff. Nice to see Scotty almost go 8 and give our guys a quality start.

it funny how masn guys say how national is still good team their did not gave us cedit for winnng the game

It didn't seem to me like they weren't giving us credit, but that they were blaming their pitching for throwing badly when we scored. We all do that. When one of our pitcher gets beat up, no matter how great the hitters are, we blame our pitching.

Olsen deffinately got the job done, helping out the bullpen and turning in a very solid start.

 

Jacobs just keeps knocking them out, and it was good to see Hermida back and contribuiting right away. Makes that lineup just so much deeper now.

 

Sucks that we made those 2 errors but we were at least able to make up for it later on. key thing is that Olsen didn't let it affect him.

:raining SWEEP. This is a family joke-when the marlins first came into existence and were about to get their first sweep over the pirates, i believe, I brough out the broom. So the next time there was a sweep opportunity, my wife did not remember it was a broom, so when I said sweep, she said "bring out the umbrellas" instead of brooms. Well, we think it is cute-so too bad.
