Not a bad first round when 3 (with a potential still for it to be all 4) series go the full 5 games.

Nats would probably love to have had Strasburg available for a decisive game 5 at home.

Baltimore gets the leadoff guy on in the 12th and Joba gets drilled by a piece of broken bat to boot. Looks like he got nailed in the funny bone.
Looks like he will stay in EDIT: nope, huge ass welt/swell developed and they aren't risking it

Are people really bashing the A's? It's a miracle they made the playoffs to begin with...

What a luxury that is to be able to trot Verlander out there in a big game like that needing a win.
9 innings, 11 K's, 4 Hits and 0 runs.
That is why you pay an ace $20+ million right there.

Orioles, Athletics, Reds and we can throw in the Brewers and Rays. Solid organizations but not big markets. It doesn't mean they don't spend, because it does take some spending to compete. However, for many of these teams the periods where they can pony up the dough goes up and down. The key is putting together a group of guys you develop, acquire in trades, sign for a good price and others who you develop and retain once they become good. It has to be the right blend and if you're weak in one of those departments, you won't have a chance.
The Reds are one of the bottom 12 markets in MLB. Next year, their payroll will be nearly or over 100 million. Does that mean all of the sudden the market got bigger and they are a "big market" team? No. They have identified a window where they can compete however and have timed that with trades, contract extensions, free agent signings and increased payroll.

Verlander giving up 0 is much more impressive than scoring 6 runs in a game.Classyposter58;1293659 wrote:Verlander didn't score those 6 runs though

Great start by the Nationals
Werth double, Harper triple, Zimmerman HR
Then Wainright got locked in so we'll see if they can add on.....the Cardinals certainly won't go away.

Harper is owning this huge game.
Saw on Buster Olney's twitter that Harper had the 2 fastest HR trots in MLB this season and the quickest average trip around the bases.
For all the stuff you heard in the minors....he's playing this game with incredible fire.
