Nationals @ Rockies, Game 4

[NatsAllThe Way]

Raise your hand if you ever thought Gio Gonzalez would be on the right side of a 13 run game in Colorado.

Bryce is obviously raking, but he is playing angry or something. He hasn't been running anything out, and he's very stoic/angry lookin' in the dugout. Wonder what's bothering him. Might just hate playing in the altitude. Or I'm completely making things up. I thought he had a similar demeanor for most of the trip.

At least you got one thing right.

Fat Albert warming up.

[varoadking]

Whatever VaRK, your blackhawks already got eliminated.

They got destroyed.  But my Caps are on the way to hoisting the Cup...

[Elvir Ovcina]

Fat Albert warming up.

I've always been of the opinion that Albers should wear number 8.  It would simply make the bottom of his jersey a mad libs exercise.

[DCFan]

Challenge.

Help me with this...

So basically they slacked off on Monday.

That was a throwaway game. It was an L when the schedule came out. It's frustrating that the Nats had the lead in the 7th. But the travel caught up to them.

Help me with this... 

I was afraid to ask.

15-2 reminds me of cribbage.

Possible suggestions are "everything," "Solis," or "an inning or two here or there, but not especially capably."  The last one, surprisingly, would fit (and maybe even on one line).  Or, if you need it all simply: it's a visual pun about Matt Albers being a fatty.

[Squab]

Also, I don't care how angry he is or really if he runs crap out when he's hitting like this.  If he can't run out grounders, hit well over .400, and slug .800-something at the same time, I know which two I'd like to see.

Yeah I don't really either, just thought it was weird

[DCFan]

Espi couldn't do that.

[awbb]

Espi couldn't do that.

I agree. He'd have thrown it the way he was looking around the earth and still made the play at 1st without Lind having to move an inch.

[mitlen]

But Espi would have 6 Ks.

[mitlen]

crap, I used to that workin' in the steelmill FP.   

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Espi couldn't do that.

Used to be a saying every time a Red Sox middle infielder did not make a play:  "Pokey would have had that."  I think the same thing should apply to Danny.  Every time a Nat middle infielder doesn't demonstrate a bazooka arm, we should say, "Espinosa would have got him."

The Turner bobblehead actually looks like him...

It's got more rhythm.

Way too much Carp and FP love for Arenado...
