Nationals @ Rockies, Game 2

[NatsAllThe Way]

Go Nats

While we're around the league, nice that the Mets called up and then inserted David Wright into tonight's game for an AB, so he could leave to his well earned ovation.

Yes. Totally agreed.

Yelich hit ANOTHER homer. He’s now tied for the NL lead and needs 2 RBI to catch Baez for the Triple Crown. Give the guy the MVP.

EDIT: Will be interesting if Cubs-Brewers play game 163 as those stats will count.

Don't know if Vegas puts out odds on every MLB player to win the triple crown before the season starts but, if so, I doubt Yelich was very close to being the favorite. Just checked and he's playing only his 145th game tonight.

 Couple of mistakes but Stras has been really good tonight.

The idea of a Soto, Robles, Harper outfield is enticing. I just don’t think it’s the prudent move.

I'm hoping we see it for the next 5 years at least.

LOL Willem Dafoe!

Pizza gif.

[Slateman]

Nyger Morgan would be so proud of that tickle

So it looks like the NL Central and NL West will be tied going into the last game of the season. Pennant races are fun. I wish we could have one.

MAT!

[NatsAllThe Way]

I like MAT!

 Oh good, Glover can keep it interesting

FP just announced Gio starts the Brewers game tomorrow.  So that means what, 7IP, 3H, 8Ks, and 1BB?

[bluestreak]

Gio pitching for Brewers tomorrow. I’m assuming they are saving good pitchers for game 163 or the Wild Card game.

Oh good, Glover can keep it interesting

he looked pretty good

Those 2 Nats fans just came from the "smoking" lounge
