I was about to correct you, but it looks like Flores is a late scratch.

According to Goessling, it was just a clerical error.  Ramos was always the starter on the scorecard.

[Slateman]

Wow. Milone has some sucky numbers

[Slateman]

Wait, Lombardozzi at short?

[ronnynat]

Wait, Lombardozzi at short?

And leading off. Nice.

[PANatsFan]

You are a silly, silly boy.

[PANatsFan]

At least the weather is spectacular.

Debbi Taylor just asked Ramos to talk about how he and Flores feed off each other.    Please let these be the last games we'll ever have to see her again!

I don't mind a side line reporter asking a stupid question like that, but it's the earnest way she does it. If we have to put up with questions like that, at least MASN can give us eye candy asking the question

[DPMOmaha]

Plenty of good sections still available at Nationals Park.

[DPMOmaha]

48-95.  Ouch.

[The Chief]

48-95.  Ouch.

If ever there were a series that we "should" sweep, it's this one.

[The Chief]

Welp, Lombo's a bust.

[Frau Mau]

2-0!!

[ronnynat]

Nice
