Nationals @ Braves, Game 1

[Mathguy]

What kind of contact ?  Coming from a moderator ...

'Nuff of this pitch to contact bullsh!t.  Can't score if you can't get on.

[sportsfan882]

They can't lay off Walden's changeup. Death vs LH hitters.

[Jordanz Meatballz]

Lombardozzi is not the answer at second base.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I hate that I can predict the pinch-hitter.

Send up Bernadina to try to hit a bomb.

IT's the start of an inning.  send up a leadoff type guy.  leave him in if it is 1-2-3 (remove DE).

We have the best announcers in baseball not named Vin Scully #nohomer

Don Sutton on the radio is outstanding. We missed him when he was up in Washington for a year.

Sutton sucked, good riddance. 

And by the way, that was a quick ninja edit of your post.

Sutton was a great Atlanta announcer when he worked for the Nats.

Hello Mick, welcome. 

In between Stras starts what kind of fishing you doing?  Tarpon?  Bones?  Snook?

Large Mouth Bass (freshwater).. Kinda wish I'd of gotten a flats boat that could take the salt, but I ended up with a bassboat..

[Slumpbuster]

Why do I not feel good about Clippard coming in here?

[Jordanz Meatballz]

What's lead-offy about Lombardozzi? The low-OBP, the low slugging or the 5 career steals?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

LOL, what can you expect? Aside from Dodger blue, Atlanta blue is all he knows.

won 20 for Milwaukee.

Sutton was a hell alot better than FP

Twice zero is still zero!

his OBP is probably as good as anyone on the bench right now.

[Displaced Bucco]

But I did like Sutton

[ronnynat]

Strasburg found himself.

Not 100% sure about this, but his problem seems to be his landing foot. When his foot lands solidly, his pitches are great. When it's off, he seems to slip a bit and his pitches are all over the place. His upper-body mechanics look the same as they always did.

[mitlen]

He is God awful   ....

[Slateman]

Lol ... Danny

[BH34Natural]

Espinosa is never one to extend an inning.

[sportsfan882]

Danny Espinosa's pitch recognition skills are so terrible. I thought when we drafted him he was pretty good at getting on base and drawing walks.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

OK, now you keep lombo in and have the pitcher hit in Danny's spot.

[sportsfan882]

Matt Harvey threw 121 pitches in 5.1 innings tonight vs the Marlins.

[spidernat]

Wish they'd let Strasburg be who he is. freaking frustrating.

I have a feeling he's just going to say freak all that bullcrap and do his thing from here on out.

[rileyn]

Hey, is everybody still happy we got Teheran out of the game?  You have to beat the Braves in the first 6 innings - especially when they have a doo doo pitcher on the mound.

I like FP.  He brings some good insider baseball tidbits, and I don't mind he cheers hard for the Nats.

was his rep his first year in the minors. I'm starting to think Eckstein coaches everyone to hit Desi style. It works for him but not DE.
