Regardless of today's result, I will not be able to do tomorrow's GDT. Let's hope I leave April with a

streak intact.

Here with my gang. Wife, two sons and daughters. Sitting in right field tonight. Have tickets for game tmw but we are TBD for Thursday. Will see how we fair with an 8, 5 and 2 year old. Last year we only made it 3.5 innings.

You could crack the Nats rotation with those stats...

You're a brave man.

Top 5 guys in the bullpen had yesterday off and had a mostly easy series in Miami. Only guy who was worked hard was Law with 2 2-inning appearances, but he had yesterday off.

First time this season I've missed Dom Smith

Lipscomb is really not good at third

Ump squeezing Gore there.

imref · « **Reply #18:** April 30, 2024, 08:35:50 PM »

Nice escape.

GataNats · « **Reply #19:** April 30, 2024, 08:35:58 PM »

Why in the hell is Rosario still around?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20:** April 30, 2024, 08:36:00 PM »

Cleaned up that mess. Just cost about 5 or 6 extra pitches.

Looks like Gore is not topping 95 tonight so far.

Not a great throw but nice pick by Lip. Gallo would have had it.

Gore seems to draw the tough pitching match ups. Of course, his opponents draw Gore.

Texas seems like a team itching to hit homers.
