Happy birthday wishes to Dave Martinez!

Also Sean Doolittle, whom I've only just noticed is no longer a Red.

Almost like Kieboom wants to be a hitter.

"Ducks on the pond"! Invented by the Nationals first broadcaster Arch McDonald. Began radio broadcasts in 1934.

What's the baseball expression for stranding your ducks on that pond?

"That's the Nats". The Nats had won the pennant in 1933 ("the wrecking crew of '33"), and then most often finished 4th or 5th. And worse after 1946.

I want to like Josh Rogers.

What's wrong with Joey Votto?

He had tickets to the Bengals?

They have no chance at the playoffs so probably getting a rest.

Kieboom again!

Of course Nats fans are focused on the race for 5th worst record but AZ and BALT are tied with identical 50-105 records.

welch · « **Reply #16:** September 26, 2021, 02:48:16 PM »

A run for the Nats! Woo!

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #17:** September 26, 2021, 02:49:39 PM »

Reds fans were complaining about AsCab at first instead of Votto or Schrock. Turns out he's not the infielder they should have been worried about.

hohoho · « **Reply #18:** September 26, 2021, 02:53:22 PM »

Didn’t take long.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #19:** September 26, 2021, 03:02:56 PM »

AsCab's first hit as a Red.

hohoho · « **Reply #20:** September 26, 2021, 03:35:11 PM »

Ooops.

Well...Harper almost got out of the inning...

Tying an MLB record for grand slams allowed in a season with 14...ouch....

Not sure who’s having the worse day….the Nats or the WFT.
