Nationals vs Braves, Game 1

[natsfan4evr]

Guzzie makes himself useful

[The Chief]

Can't give Guz a beachball tonight.  Dare I say he even deserves a Dibble at this point?

[spidernat]

Didn't Maxwell bat 9th?

Yep.

[Lintyfresh85]

If there was ever a time to get a hit... Guzman now is the time!

[DPMOmaha]

Didn't Maxwell bat 9th?

Double switch to bring in Clip.  Clip came in for willingham, JMax for Burnett.

[PC]

Now we have to hope Guzman to drive in a run.   

But what do I know!  

Is this the start of Guzman, solar hot?

[PANatsFan]

Though I like Dunn (hello, Rizzo: re-sign the big guy), Frank Howard sweats never...was it two-dozen upper-deck Frank-Howard-seats?

Just got here...what happened to Hernandez? Why only five innings? Hurt? Or just ineffective so Riggleman pulled him early? I would have expected six innings...

Livan had a 40 pitch first inning He did have a reasonable night.

I am a bit prone to exaggeration re: Dunn

[Lintyfresh85]

freak Maxwell.

All he does is get on base against LHP. What a freaking bum.

He should be the everyday RF IMO

[welch]

Ouch: MLB gameday says Livan threw 123 pitches, only 71 strikes. OK. Got it.

[The Chief]

When was the last time we saw Taveras?  Was it the LAST time we'll see Taveras?

He threw like 125 pitches on the night, it makes sense lol

He has sunk too deep in the depths of opprobrium for that.

Ump squeezed the hell out of him though.

[imref]

mets get a run off cordero at Cin.

[Evolution33]

Guzman has such a fragile mental state if he can only hit 2nd

[DPMOmaha]

When was the last time we saw Taveras?  Was it the LAST time we'll see Taveras?

Didn't he get in as a defensive replacement over the weekend?

[The Chief]

It's supposed to be a game-by-game system, running performances don't matter.

[DPMOmaha]

Well still be my soul, he took Guzie out...

[imref]

please don't let Zimmerman get a beachball.

[EdStroud]

I saw him parking Bernadina's Escort earlier tonight

[The Chief]

Maybe, I only caught ~1.5 games.

[DPMOmaha]

please don't let Zimmerman get a beachball.

Why?

[natsfan4evr]

Rod Barajas has 7 now. That's just insane. He's batting only .231

[DPMOmaha]

Maybe, I only caught ~1.5 games.

C'mon Chief, you're better than that.
