Washington Nationals (Stephen Strasburg) vs Cincinnati Reds (Johnny Cueto) - Ga

• Midstate01

  

  And we are tied. Unreal.
• jordo212000

  

  Cueto is scuffling a bit
• Terry_Tate

  

  Of course it would be 3-3 in the 2nd with 2 aces going

  Hoover might have to go 5 innings today.

  I'm so pissed my reverse psychology didn't work. It's rare...

  Makes me sick that Rolen was playing over Frazier last year.

  Me too. Frazier is a stud.

  Damn, #8 hitters really do kill the Reds. Batting .318 this year with a .864 slugging. Smh.
• Terry_Tate

  

  Lol, a double to the 8 hitter after a homer the 2nd inning.
• Midstate01

  

  Too much dancing for cueto today.

  Cueto at 77 pitches through 4... Strasburg is at 60 through 3

  Werth had no chance there

  Choo is the man. Had no idea it felt this good to have a legit lead off guy.

  Dusty Baker on Choo getting hit, from Mark Sheldon's blog:
  
  Reds manager Dusty Baker is not entirely thrilled about seeing Choo staying in the box and getting plunked.
  
  "The amateurs holler 'take one for the team' -- that ain't the way to get on," Baker said. "When you've been hit, that means they're pitching you inside. There's a very small margin between -- it's only two or three inches between an inside strike and hitting you. He's going to get hit because they're going to pitch him inside until he proves they can't come in there.
  
  "As long as they hit him in the legs -- those big tree trunks he has. You just don't want him to get hit in the hand or the elbow or anything. You shouldn't get hit there if you're moving out of the way properly, unless one gets away from you and you don't see it."
  
  Is it just me or does his first statement seem like he's using it as a negative on Choo?

  I take it as he doesn't want choo standing there taking it and not trying to move out of the way. Baker is a tard, but even he knows this teams fucked without choo

  Really want to thank the Indians for Choo
  
  Also, who is Robinson?
• se-alum

  

  Nationals defensive has been BAD this series.
• osu45804

  

  Robinson is kind of fast

  Man, Strasburg has made Joey look terrible today, but he gets the runners over.
