If Robles isn’t throwing these games then nobody ever did! Why does he keep doing this to Gore?? Snapping his glove closed on a little league pop up, doing his best keystone cops impression on the bases (he claims he didn’t see the guy running in front of him???) honestly I wasn’t aware he was still on the roster I thought we got rid of him. I just feel bad for Gore he deserved better than that. The Winker injury seems like a strange coincidence. I’m not buying it. My gut tells me the Nats are selling out in these games and not in positive way.
There's 2 off-days this week, so bring in the bullpen early, that's fine. If Williams has this kind of performance next time around, (77 pitches in 5 innings, with 8K) they really should try to get a 6th inning out of him, if for no other reason than the bullpen could use an easier night.
One thought for Al, could you move the camera so we can see your face and not the side of your head for most of the pod. I like when you are looking into to the camera. Just my thought, enjoy the show!!!!!
Nice Job Gentlemen, enjoyed the Podcast and watched my first one on RU-vid. Could not watch the game but saw they pulled it out and was looking forward to hearing what you both had to say. I listen everyday to the wrap up so Thanks for all you are doing.
Love, love, love the show. In fact, I've checked out the podcasts covering other teams and you guys are always on point with plenty of great observations and inside info while the others, not so much. But Al, could you shift the camera a bit. Sometimes when you're speaking all we can see is your shoulder, neck and ear. (I know the show is largely intended for listening, but still...)
I am compelled to correct Al about his "2 things affect attendance" comment. Yes, attendance lags team performance. That's certainly the #1 thing driving season ticket sales and group ticket sales (though as we all know, season ticket sales do not equal actual attendance). The #1 thing affecting individual ticket sales and actual attendance is weather. The difference between 1.7 million and 2+ million could easily be whether we have a mild summer or a rainy summer, or on how cold it is in April and September.
I usually listen while I'm doing something else, but it's nice to know now that during some of the more shall we say tense moments of the season, I'll be able to come here and see the veins popping out of al galdi's neck!
