Over / under on Stanton HR's tonight vs Max?

I'll say 1.5...and take the over...

Nice to see Jayson back in the lineup!

All the more reason to beat these guys.

Barney had a garage sale...

Difo's hitting well, better take him out and replace him with MAT. Makes perfect sense, Dusty.

Wait, a Marlins fan talking smack about DC's attendance. Has he looked at attendance at their park?

FP has always talked about something all season long...after it happens...

[aussienatsfan]

Urena has good stuff, has no idea where it's going but it's filthy

I stayed away because I heard that tool Marlins Man was going to be there...

His insight?     Can't get it up with two strikes.

[mmzznnxx]

freak Wieters.

He's great taking credit for something that we had no idea he'd even thought about.  Maybe if he'd shut up once and a while, we might pay attention...

I like FP but he predicts too much.    Another poster made the point the other night, FP (and Bob on occasion) need to let the game dictate their comments.    FP is really bad on trying to tell us about what's comin'.

[Count Walewski]

I actually find it insightful when FP tries to predict what pitch somebody is gonna throw next. FP is at his best when he's explaining what's going on in the players heads. He is at his worst when he's explaining what's going on in his own head.

Max givin' Dietrich the stink eye.
