Might be the worst 3,4,5 hitter trio we've ever put out there

[Dave in Fairfax]

Yeah, that's bewildering.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Wow, the "crowd" really loved that catch by Suzuki, or someone really likes his rheostat.

[DCFan]

Now that's bewildering. Striking out that way.

[DCFan]

I'm surprised they didn't call Trea out for running out of the basepath.

[DCFan]

I'm impressed that Max got out of the first inning without giving up a run. 

[DCFan]

This ump doesn't like the edges of the plate. Any of them.

[DCFan]

Strike 5, you're out!

[hohoho]

Max 2 innings 40 pitches only 23 strikes.

[Dave in Fairfax]

상 남자!

Harrison almost screwed the pooch, though.

[Natsinpwc]

Thames finally.

[Natsinpwc]

Why was Thames on first? 

[Dave in Fairfax]

Why was Thames on first?

Harrison didn't realize the ball wasn't caught, and had hesitated before second, before breaking for third, so Thames was held up.

Baserunning blunder. Drink.

[Natsinpwc]

Throw went to third though. He should have been on second. 

[DCFan]

Throw went to third though. He should have been on second. 

Sendley knows the next time he sends someone to a certain out he's the new clubhouse attendant.

Sounds like FP crushed a 6 pack of Red Bull before the game even started...

[Natsinpwc]

Sounds like FP crushed a 6 pack of Red Bull before the game even started...

Watching the TB broadcast.  They are not much of an improvement.

[hohoho]

Sounds like FP crushed a 6 pack of Red Bull before the game even started...

That’s one way to get thru these games.

[DCFan]

Sounds like FP crushed a 6 pack of Red Bull before the game even started...

That's about what it takes to get thru our games now.

[hohoho]

Robles up to .263.

[DCFan]

Morton looks a little shellshocked that the Nats just took the lead.

[Dave in Fairfax]

This Turner kid seems fast.

[Natsinpwc]

Two 0-2 hits.
