This is the best bullpen we’ve ever had.

Yeah, but my blood pressure doesn't rise like it did with Drew...

[Greg_SRT]

Boy we aren’t gonna win many games like that. Glad we got it tonight.

Spidey survives!!!

Statcast says 107 grounders in a row. Just checked it.

If you weren’t wasting your time on statcast but actually watching tonight’s  game you would know, not only can’t Severino frame pitches, he can’t even hold on to pitches in the strike-zone costing his pitching staff SEVERAL strikes in this game alone. That’s why he didn’t catch Doolittle in the 9th. 

You stick with your “Statcast” since that seems to be your thing.

Character building win. Keep it rollin into Tampa

[bluestreak]

Amazing what this team can do when Harper and Murphy are hitting...

[Mathguy]

Mitlen & Spidernat should go home early more often

Spidey survives!!!

So can we hold off on the thoughts of castrating Bryce at least until the season is over ?

I’d put Harper on the 10 day DL. Make up an injury. He needs some personal time to get his head and swing fixed.

Bryce is so broken he will likely never recover.  Might be a major leaguer for a couple more years but will be a fringe player at best.  What a waste.

Another week of this and he’s going to get demoted.  Seriously.

Makes a bit of a difference doesn't it?

[Cinqo de Mayo]

I fell asleep thinking the Nats were going to lose (score was 6-2). Woke up to good news.

I wonder if ARod's observation after those first 2ABS got passed on to Harper before the 3rd AB (after I went to sleep)

[Slateman]

It really sucks that a 2 run homer in the 3rd inning basically seals this teams fate.
