Lineups TBD

Under Selig rules, a seven-inning no-no won’t be no-no enough — but free runners in the eighth can be.

I'm feeling a dominant Stras outing.

If he looks healthy and doesn’t get the bounces, I think people can deal with it

[GataNats]

Velocity way down

[Five Banners]

Velocity way down

 Wait until he works in the sidewinder knuckleball

[Slateman]

Velocity way down

He average 94.1 in 2019, so it doesnt seem too down

[Slateman]

freak the DH

[Natsinpwc]

Trea trying to hit home runs. 

[imref]

Offense is crap without Zimmerman

[GataNats]

Can’t hit this bum Ynoa?

[RJ2kWJ]

Can’t hit this bum Ynoa?

Frustrating.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Is what FP is calling a change really a hard screwball?  It has the spin access and motion.

Its a changeup. His change has been jekyl and hyde for a while. Sometimes it has a ton of arm side run with a bit of a drop. Other times it looks like a split

Natinals

[GburgNatsFan]

Is Stras smiling or grimacing?

What am I thinking he doesn't smile.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I guess they hit for Stras here.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Liking the match up for Yadi. Given all their lefties, I'll take Luke Jackson here. 

[Slateman]

I guess they hit for Stras here.

Yep. I would expect all our pitchers to be on a fairly low pitch limit for the first three or four starts

[Slateman]

Turner trying to go tater

[KnorrForYourMoney]

freakin hell, Castro

Between him and Kieboom, who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, we're really screwed at 3B

[Natsinpwc]

freakin hell, Castro

Between him and Kieboom, who couldn't hit water if he fell out of a boat, we're really screwed at 3B

He was 4 for 8 over the first two games.
