Game 151: Wang [barely] beats the sweep

by Doghouse on Sep 18, 2011 4:47 PM EDT

Just needs a little support: Chien-Ming Wang (+11.7%) goes 6.2 IP, giving up 3 ER with 5 Ks and no BBs.
Ugly runs count, too: Danny Espinosa (+15.1%) singles in two runs on a misplay of his hit to center (+16.9%).
Delightfully uninteresting: Tyler Clippard (+13.7%) gets four quick outs in relief, while Drew Storen (+15.6%) racks up the last three 1-2-3.

Dang...no love for Gomes?

He got it started and gave Wang a little cushion (ok, very little cushion) with his heads up move to 3B and gutsy run on Stanton’s arm.

Impressive outing by Wang for 6.2 innings…wish Davey had pulled him after the Murphy out, though. He was at 90 pitches at that point…seems that should be enough per outing for Wang this year.

Phil Woods was talking about it on the post-game call-in show.

We could use a first baseman.

We may need a 1B, if ALR stays hurt and Morse never returns from Slumpville...

Venezuelan League may be interesting to follow with Flores, too….

Yes I do: Prince Fielder?

a better, younger Dmitri

Not saying the Nats should sign Fielder, just that he’s an aeons better choice than going with what Dmitri has behind Door #2 (which is hidden behind him).
