Thank goodness we miss Velasquez.
seriously. where the heck did he come from? I never heard of him before and he's their 5th starter.
They got him for Ken Giles. He has pretty awful command normally but that last start was impressive.
his first start was pretty good too. shut out the mets over 6 ip and 9 k's. his highest innings pitched in a season was last year at like 89 I think.

The Rockies just beat the Cubs 6-1 so the Nationals now have the best record in baseball.
The philly hate is strong this weekend
I'm feeling it. Oh yes....

Think this will change for tomorrow afternoon? Has Harper had "a day off" yet?
Lobaton will probably play in Wilson's stead tomorrow. Other than that, I kind of doubt it. No off day for Harper yet.
Charlie and Dave were talking about a lot of subs tomorrow. Robinson is slated to play 1st. I'd expect Heisey in LF, obviously Lobaton behind the plate. Maybe Drew at SS and den Dekker in CF.
Why give up the win?
Day game after a night game and a lefty heavy lineup against a pitcher who's got a consistent 50-point split to the advantage of lefties (lefties batting .281 over the last 3 years vs righties at .239, with the trend in 2016 even a bit more lopsided).
