Nationals @ Athletics, Game 1

[Natsinpwc]

Tack one on Tony.

Some of your comments are, how should I say, tacky.

[stealyerbase]

Zowie!  Tony four bags goes bust!

[Jordanz Meatballz]

  insanely hard hit

I set my sights mighty low but at least I can still walk by schools.

With a police escort? Just kidding.

Probably want to save some for tomorrow, boys

They will need them with Ross pitching.

Doesn't Ross usually get big time run support?

[Slateman]

I mean, Bryce Harper's replacement is hitting .500 since he was suspended

I just wear blinders.

[Natsinpwc]

Ok. I found a video of the As reporter. And we get Kolko.

[Jordanz Meatballz]

  give Goodwin a chance for the cycle next inning

 It doesn't seem fair somehow

I'm going to be watching more Athletics broadcasts this season.

I'm going to be watching more Athletics broadcasts this season.

I'd imagine the A's would be looking for some gratuitous Gatorade drenches on walk offs

[aBaltoNat]

Chelsea is hot. Kolko is fashionable.


Is Chelsea really hot? I don't think so.

[aBaltoNat]

I'd imagine the A's would be looking for some gratuitous Gatorade drenches on walk offs

Or chocolate syrup baths.

[Natsinpwc]

8 Ks.

Looks like I win the Strasburg strike out pool. I hope we get to see him against Kershaw Wednesday.

Attaboy Blake! Let's make this interesting!

[aBaltoNat]

Put him to help his confidence and he cannot do it. I think he is a 1 inning pitcher, probably a guy in the 7th but at best a set up man.

That's too bad...but looking like reality.

[Slateman]

Treinen is poop

[aBaltoNat]

By the way...the drums in the background is from: I Believe That We Will Win....started as a US Men's National Team Soccer chant from a few years ago. Sounds like some fans...

I think letting him try to pitch 2 innings was stupid. If you're trying to get his confidence back, pull him after a good inning.

[stealyerbase]

Just keep putting him in with an eleven run cushion and leave him in.
