Haven’t been able to watch much of the series. Nice to see the cheaters struggling so much.

Vargas being a buzzkill again.

You are going to see Vargas 0 for 3 with a GIDP and a bunch of strands, but he is putting the ball in play. He does not swing and miss. I'll take that most of the time with RISP. It just hasn't worked. Lucky we haven't needed it.

got Altuve and Tucker on Ks and Alvarez on a gorundout 3 time facing them.

Senzel doing what he's paid to do!

Mitchell Parker is good.

Parker giving me serious J-Zimm vibes.

IanRubbish · « **Reply #33:** April 21, 2024, 03:23:28 PM »

Turned my phone on as soon as I got out of church to see Parker is pitching the best game a Nat has thrown this season

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #34:** April 21, 2024, 03:23:47 PM »

where are the walks he was known for? His stuff was supposed to be good, and he could pile up Ks, but he's been a high walk guy all along.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #35:** April 21, 2024, 03:24:52 PM »

73 pitches through 7. Do you let him go for a shutout?

KV · « **Reply #36:** April 21, 2024, 03:27:23 PM »

Are they really gonna pull him with only 73 pitches?

The Luis Garcia small sample size is becoming less small.

This is confidence, not just mechanics. To make a first start at Dodger Stadium like he did required some incredible mental strength.

Also, nice inning form Floro. I'd like to see him become more than just a use in blow outs or behind Bullpen B guy for the Nats. I'd like him or Barnes or Rainey to step up to be a "we don't have to use Weems and Garcia two games in a row because we have another set up option" reliever.

ump looking to get home quickly

Parker is legit. This team is good once we jettison Rosario, Senzel, and Vargas

What does Parker’s fastball top out at? Any movement.

haven't seen today's game results folded into his averages, but by rep it's low 90s with deception, effective, and set up some by his good breaking stuff.
