Is anyone going to be in the stands with the hurricane coming?

[Baseball is Life]

The arbiter of all baseball rules, Brian McCann, is in the line up. I don't know if he played earlier this week. I have not watched much. NANF.

Is James McCann of the Tigers (catcher) related to Brian?

Oh yea. They can close the roof.

[Natsinpwc]

Oh yea. They can close the roof.

I know that but won't the fans be at home battening down the hatches?

[mitlen]

Oh yea. They can close the roof.

Plus, they have 24 hours.    That's like a regular Houston rush hour.

Gettin' their bass boats ready.

[Baseball is Life]

Weird that I've never been to Houston. I've just been in about every major city in the US for business or pleasure but not Houston.

Rush hour is easy there.

I think you gotta treat Keuchel's fastball like a knuckleball. If it's high, let it fly, if it's low, let it go.

[Baseball is Life]

Wilfo always throws chest high to Zimmerman. Very accurate. That shouldn't be taken for granted, even at the MLB level.

[spidernat]

Is James McCann of the Tigers (catcher) related to Brian?

I don't believe so.

[mitlen]

I don't believe so.

Watchin' the dust up today, I originally thought it was Brian.

[Baseball is Life]

Just about down the middle. I don't know what the hitter saw. Or didn't see.

[Baseball is Life]

FP says 5' 6" Altuve can't complain about low strikes.

[Slateman]

Why he gotta pick on the lil feller?

[Baseball is Life]

Have a seat Altuve. Again when you get back to the dugout. Nasty hook.

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

That was pretty nasty.

[Baseball is Life]

There is no better Nats pitcher to watch when he's on than Stras. That includes Max.  IMHO.

[Baseball is Life]

What's with Wieters wearing eye black for a night game?

[Natsinpwc]

What's with Wieters wearing eye black for a night game?

Probably learned it in Bmore.

[Baseball is Life]

This plate umpire is going to be an adventure tonight.

F.P. setting up the road trip excuses early.
