Get some.

[BrandonK]

Get some.

Get some before it rains!

[mitlen]

Looks like it's Charlie and Dave for the first part of the game anyway.    Auto repair just called and I gotta fetch the missus' truck.   

[NatNasty]

Time to kick some ass 

Currently raining at the beach.  Good timing, as it gives be an excuse to sit inside, watch ball and drink whiskey at midday.

[OldChelsea]

Blasted weather...this season it seems like every weekday afternoon fixture it rains or threatens to rain. I'd be over at the ballpark now if it weren't for the rain.

I finally realize I can watch Comcast over the internet. Tried to tune in the game. MASN says, 'Nope.' Gameday for me it is.

Yep. Doesn't work that way.  You can watch Wizards games on line. But not the Caps.

30+ pitches in the first.

Colbrith was really tight there - better be the same for them

[WhiteWhale]

also, the moisture I think is creating a lot of foul balls that would have been in play on a dry day

Couldn't see the plate over his stomach.

They're actually playing this game?

[NatNasty]

1-2-3.  What a shocker.

[Mathguy]

Mitlen & Spider - how hard is it raining ?

[dracnal]

Yep. Doesn't work that way.  You can watch Wizards games on line. But not the Caps.

Out of curiosity, is it a network decision or part of the league blackout rules?

And on topic, Ross really needs this to be a quick 1-2-3 inning.

[Mathguy]

Must be due to end of year, distance between the teams, and home field issues

They're actually playing this game?

[¡Vamos Ramos!]

Look at this ump squeezing them in the middle of a rain storm. What a joke.

Bad enough that mitlen bailed on me. That's actually a cardboard image of mitlen.

[Mathguy]

Better watch out - that cardboard just moved ...

[WhiteWhale]

Linty has mentioned this before with Severino
I think he is stealing close strikes from Joe with all that bouncing around he does

[spidernat]

[WhiteWhale]

This game is not being called evenly

[sportsfan882]

The Nats have the look of a team just playing out the string. Very strange considering the circumstances.

I can't believe how many pitches it is taking our starters to get through the awful Diamondbacks' lineup.
