Phillies and Mets fans laughing at the Braves closer! They should. I'm laughing AT him myself.

Joc not allowed time out and flies out to left.
Appropriate for this game.

Ozzie last hope

We lose not only because of the suckage of Will Smith (Walk, Double, Homer), but also the hitters STRIKING OUT a ton. Tough loss.

That sucked, but Snit said from day 1 that Smith would remain the closer so it was only a matter of time..
.. because Smith kinda sucks
Walk after an 0-2 count
Double on a ball where we should have been guarding the line to..ya know... prevent a double...
and then a HR to an .086 batter
The baseball gods were not going to reward that with a comeback win.

...and we go down 1,2,3! Perfect ending. Offense bad, closer bad. A well deserved loss.
You could almost see it coming.

Why aren't we using Rodriguez to close? Hell, even Matzek over Smith.

This Nats team is probably going to finish in last place. This loss is just unacceptable for a team that is much better. Somehow the loss of Freeman seemed to put the whole offense into a rut.

It's not just that Smith's ERA is what it is, but he's had a ton of hard hit balls hit right at our players all year long where he just flat out got lucky. He throws more meatballs than any "closer" in history.
But he'll be the closer until the end, that's the way it is. Even though we have a legit closer on the team now.

Oh boy Smith blew it for us big time. Was Rodriguez available?

This loss was 100% on that bozo Smith, but with Rodriguez on the team there is no way Smith should still be closing...
...but in any situation that was a trash appearance..
0-2 walk...
Hanger to Zimmerman
HR to an .086 batter
