Nationals @ Orioles, Game 2

[welch]

bah. Not even close to hittable.

[26winfield26]

Ball two and he chased, do we show any patience at all, cause that's game now!

[RobDibblesGhost]

Desmond is out of the game. Not good.

[EdStroud]

Great now we can't trade him for Tulo

[mitlen]

Palms ass.    Got him on the bone at the base of the thumb.

[3bside]

Same injury as Ramos?

[NatsAllThe Way]

Freak...  out for 4-6 weeks obviously.

[spidernat]

Palms ass.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Say hello to our new shortstop for the next 2 months.  Daniel 3Kspinosa.

[sportsfan882]

Losing Desmond would be crippling. Just cannot afford Espinosa in the lineup every day. And Walters would be no better.

[tomterp]

Nasty sinkage.

[spidernat]

We need BiL to tell us that the responsible thing is not to assume Desmond will miss any significant time.

[sportsfan882]

Braves getting desperate on July 10th. Using Kimbrel in the 8th inning of a game vs the Mets.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Well, can Souza play short?  he has another 4 hits tonight.  There's no way he can't play in the majors...  he's hitting .374

Anything's a guess now, right?

Swollen, sore, I'd guess a game or two before he comes back.  But put it on ice, take a couple of Alleve and call me in the morning.

Walter Cronkite would be better than Espinosa.

[ronnynat]

Nice pitching.

[sportsfan882]

Barrett gets it done. Frandsen and Span lead off the inning

[mach1ne]

Gotta use Hairston here

[spidernat]

Anything's a guess now, right?

Swollen, sore, I'd guess a game or two before he comes back.  But put it on ice, take a couple of Alleve and call me in the morning.

And then the All Star break. That's a week to rest up.

spit and dirt works better

Not a chance. Souza will languish forever

I suspect Souza can play 2B. And catch. And pitch. And 3B. And WR.

Definitely desperate if a major league manager uses his best reliever in a high leverage situation instead of a save opportunity.

[EdStroud]

Walter Cronkite would be better than Espinosa.

Cronkite could only go to his left
