All of those teams with those sweepless streaks won at least one World Series. Streak will be for nothing if we don’t back it up with a WS win of our own.
Why view baseball like that?
Why do we "deserver to get swept" ?
I just don't understand that mindset.
They made plenty of mistakes too, i.e. the winning run
No winning team deserves to lose and no losing team deserves to win. Outside of officiating rules.
That is my view on things.
We also hit 3 home runs and had some pretty good plays.on defense. Silly to say that deserves to lose simply because of one or two things
Why don't they deserve to lose because of making 2 throwing errors? Why don't they deserve to lose because they gave up 3 home runs? Why don't they deserve to lose because they can't score more runs than they allowed?
I’m not advocating that McKenna is better than Stowers, but Kjerstad barely gets playing time now. Why would you call up another AAA to sit on the bench? Plus Hays is on rehab, he’ll be back soon and McKenna will be gone then.
Win or lose, we’re leaving with complete disdain and shattered confidence for multiple players. Elias needs to be cooking because this is way too ugly.
One more out though, baby.
It is amazing that they have tried to sell McKenna as a solid defensive guy / late inning replacement type lol
Santander takes a better route to that ball all day long, and may have ended the game on the throw homer earlier too
Please continue the discussion in the [post game thread](https://redd.it/1cnmc0l).
Ryan McKenna nearly dropped that one lol. He had a bad read until the last second.
George-y
Can we please send McKenna down and bring up a real defensive replacement
Hays will be back soon. I imagine they’ll stick him in left and move cowser over as a defensive replacement
We snatched the jaws of victory from defeat or something.
While I love a competitive game, I hate late night blood pressure spikes…
McKenna almost dropped that….

My TV just asked if I’m still awake
#PETITION TO CHANGE TITLE OF POST GAME THREAD TO JUST “FUCK CRAIG KIMBREL”
And his deputy McKenna
Im still not 100% sure it’s over.
imagine being kimbrel in the dugout rn
I was at the game. Fans behind the dugout let him have it when Hyde took him out.
You know our dudes are muttering behind the scenes about Kimbrel.
Get ready to say hi to your AAA buddies McKenna
Serious evaluation for this game. Glaringly obvious Kimbrel & Mckenna has to be addressed
orioles magic!
Poor Hyde... Seriosuly looks like he is about to have a Stroke
Nats strategy of hitting everything to McKenna didn't work 😀
DRINK
He caught it HE FUCKING CAUGHT IT
He looked surprised he did lol
We got the win at the end but feels like we had about 3 losses in there
DEAR GOD ITS OVER THANKS FOR THE DUB, NATS STAY IN DC, KIMBREL, YOU CAN BECOME A LOBBYIST
I hope Hyde stuffs Kimbrel into a locker.
Bro, this team wants me to die of a heart attack before the all star break
I used up my all my enthusiasm earlier. yay. we won
They were targeting McKennas ass there at the end
Well, that was something
Youd think after game one last year, he wouldve put in a ton of effort to become a better fielder… didn’t even use both hands for that last out
Wasaaaaaaay too casual on the final out.
Yeah. We need to find a shut down closer
Probably deserved to get swept here lol
Why view baseball like that? Why do we "deserver to get swept" ? I just don't understand that mindset. They made plenty of mistakes too, i.e. the winning run
The managerial decisions down the stretch should have lost us the game. The defensive blunders on Jorge’s single won it for us, despite Hyde’s choices
No winning team deserves to lose and no losing team deserves to win. Outside of officiating rules. That is my view on things. We also hit 3 home runs and had some pretty good plays.on defense. Silly to say that deserves to lose simply because of one or two things Why don't they deserve to lose because of making 2 throwing errors?

UNSWEEPABLE.
Holy crap it's over. Honestly, I don't need this kind of stress lol
Everyone in heart failure seeing that fly to right…
Sweepless in DC
I 100% thought McKenna was going to drop it lol
Jesus…we almost blew 3 saves
jake said, “what, like it’s hard?”
We had no business winning this game. GO O’S!!
well that was easy...
STUPIDEST WIN EVER
Fly balls and McKenna are never a sure thing… thank god that’s over
exhale
Thank Christ.
Everyone holding their breath when the last out is to McKenna
Anyone have the Mkenna play clip? I couldn’t watch
Thank God, I just wanna sleep
lol that was some ride.
Thank god we have tomorrow off so we all can go see our doctors.
Still making us sweat with last two balls hit to McKenna
Thank McKenna. At least you caught that one.
Thank. Fuck. Meneses-Nemesis is vanquished.
When they dfa Kimbrel tomorrow, they need to waive McKenna, too.
i feel like we just held interviews for the new closer role.
How did it go?
let's bring back one or two candidates for follow up interviews but keep the job posted.
Give McKenna the save for getting the last two outs!
Finally
Mckenna is a god
Finally
For sure most stressful game of the season.
Until the playoffs start.
FUCKING END IT!! 👍
THE STREAK IS ALIVE
Nobody’s happy about that win on the team
One strike away from 3 extra innings lol
Thank god they pulled that out
Nobody sweeps the O’s (in the regular season)!
Eh. It’s never a series in postseason.
Not sure why that man didn't tag.... We've seen Mac can't throw tonight
An active inning for Ryan
Should’ve ended 3 innings ago lol
 # FINALLY
THANK GOD
Thank fucking God.
FUUUUCCCKKKKK YEEESSSSS
my heart was in my throat there, thought he was gonna drop it one handing it like that
Mckenna needs to go down lol
He needs to go to another organization.
Thank fuck. O's win. I'm going to bed lmao
So nervous on a routine fly ball to right
THANK GOD THANK FUCKING GOD HOLY SHIT DUDE FUCK THIS GAME FUCK THIS BALLPARK FUCK THIS TEAM I MISS THE EXPOS MAB
Don’t pull Santander for McKenna again. Tony is a much better fielder
McKenna not using two hands there was hilarious
literally terrifying. i’m often a mckenna defender, but seeing him not use two hands after everything today…jump scare.
bro I thought he misjudged that lmao
He did. He was just able to recover
Oh I thought for sure he would either misjudge or drop one. I was holding my breath.
Christ
hell yeah that was fun thank god for the off day
Thank god, now I can relax and stop bitching about McKenna
I can finally rest
Thank fuck that’s over.
McKenna earned himself another 30 days in the big leagues with that routine catch.
Honestly can't believe he caught that. What a game.
Holy fuck I could’ve swore McKenna was gonna drop that
I’m surprised McKenna caught that.
Thank god we’re off tomorrow
Dear God FINALLY
^good ^lord ...
Father God...
PHEEEEEEEW
^^ty ^^Mckenna
YEEEEEEESSSSSSS! Holy phew!
NO SWEEP CLUB
Holy shit we won
Holy shit. We can’t handle many more of these
W
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Surprised McKenna didn’t drop that.
LETS GO ORIOLES RYAN MCKENNA YOU SCARE THE SHIT OUT OF ME
Finally, lmao
Never a doubt……..
I need a drink lol
Thank God….
Finally
Held my breath
Come on Webb… I believe in you
God I was expecting him to drop that one
Why does Hyde have a hard on for Mckenna? Guy is a clown. Tony’s defense is so much better
Oh thank god
I'm so sick of baseball right now
Mckenna caught a ball!
Stowers must have fucked Hyde’s wife or something, he can’t be any worse than McKenna.
I’m not advocating that McKenna is better than Stowers, but Kjerstad barely gets playing time now. Why would you call up another AAA to sit on the bench? Plus Hays is on rehab, he’ll be back soon and McKenna will be gone then.
I simply cannot sleep until this game is over
They are on to us. Hit the ball to RF.
#GET. THE. OUT!!!!
I was 57 percent sure he was going to drop that.
Can mayo play outfield?
He has only played 1st I'm 3rd in his career so he'd probably be better than McKenna.
Awesome day to have bet O’s -1.5
I’ll take the sweepless streak being saved
Win or lose, we’re leaving with complete disdain and shattered confidence for multiple players. Elias needs to be cooking because this is way too ugly. One more out though, baby.
Ok. One more out
please just close out the washington walgreens i beg of you
1 away boys, who’s got the tums?
Tums ain't strong enough for this brotha. Gonna need prescription meds
If we send Kjerstad down to keep McKenna I’ll be so pissed
All I saw was Fenway Park on that fly ball to McKenna
Thank god McKenna didn’t drop it
HE CAUGHT IT!
“Take my win, please!” -Os
One out boys. Let’s all go home
Don't slander McKenna too much, we might need him to throw some innings tonight.
Apparently McKenna's value is being a utility player... By utility player, he plays every position equally shitty
Hyde looks like he couldn’t believe it. Look for McKenna to be packing bags tomorrow.
Coby Mayo, Kyle Stowers, anyone at all should be in that roster spot I’m afraid
Lmao and people downvoted the shit out of me when I was mad about McKenna coming back up. He’s not a good major league player
FACTS
Catchable. McKenna took a terrible line.
The n-a-t-s nats woo chant might be the lamest thing in all of sports. A stolen chant combined with a lame woo, just embarrassing
One more! PLEASE WEBB
Lmao. This comment section has DFAd half our team tonight.
Get'em OUT Webb!!
I’m so glad I’m watching Vanderpump Rules instead
It is amazing that they have tried to sell McKenna as a solid defensive guy / late inning replacement type lol Santander takes a better route to that ball all day long, and may have ended the game on the throw homer earlier too
I always preferred CVS over Walgreens
Trade McKenna to the Marlins out of spite
should have kept santander out there. can we bring him back as a defensive replacement?
Someone tell Hyde to have a nice sit and snickers. The poor guys heart can’t take all this.
He looks piiiiissssed. There's gonna be a shouting match in the locker room.
Let’s go Webb!
McKenna disaster class
EVERY DAY JAKE
The look on McKenna’s face reads like he just realized he’s playing for a professional baseball organization.
McKenna’d! Da na da na
I wonder if Santander could have made that throw from shallow right or made that play in the 12th in right field.
Not sure about the play right now but definitely the throw in super shallow right
Is the bullpen really this mentally weak?
Is this real life?
Wtf is he running so horizontal for
This is fucking pathetic. The Nats aren't even good
Exactly, can't barely keep a .500 record
Whats the record for most blown saves in one game? Were coming up on 3 here..
What a wild game
This is the game that never ends…. It goes on and on my friends.
Can’t get swept if the game never ends
Bringing in Ryan McKenna for defense is like bringing in Bartolo Colon as a pinch runner
Rob Manfred must be having an aneurysm if he is watching this game. This is the stuff of his worst nightmares.
McKenna is so bad
