Nationals vs Braves, Game 1

[OldChelsea]

Yeah it adds up to 151 which is how many games it took us to win 52 games in 2009 according to Old Chelsea's post. 

So we apparently were playing with Ryan Zimmerman and 24 replacement level players that year.  Which sounds about right.

The box-score from that match: http://espn.go.com/mlb/boxscore?gameId=290923120 - will no doubt elicit a few 'who?''s.

Oh I see what you're saying. A quick look at FanGraphs shows:

Zim - 7.3 (beastly)
Morgan - 3.0
Willingham - 2.5
Johnson, Guzman, Dunn, Maxwell with 1+

The pitching was horrendous. Only Zmann, Lannan, and Detwiler had more than 1 WAR.

Anyone know if you can watch archived games from MLB.tv?  If so, I might have to rewatch this one this weekend:

Nasty.

I don't even remember Jorge Padilla.  I had to look him up:  http://www.baseball-reference.com/players/p/padiljo01.shtml

Career OPS of .274, OPS+ of -26.  Yep - negative 26.

But look at this AAA line - .367/.424/.482/.907

AAA all star.  Just like the rest of the 09 team.
