Throwback Thursday: Fear the goggles

Last night, the Nationals traded Tyler Clippard to the A's for Yunel Escobar, ending the set-up man's seven-year stint in D.C.

This week's Throwback Thursday takes a look back at one of Clippard's shutdown performances from 2014. With a one-run lead, Clippard came on in the eighth inning to face a lethal Brewers lineup. He struck out the side, taking care of Jonathan Lucroy, Khris Davis and Mark Reynolds, and received a standing ovation as he strolled to the dugout.

As we all know, this was just one of many eighth-inning spectacles from the All-Star's time with the Nats. Relive this memorable moment below as we wish Clippard and his goggles good luck in Oakland.
