Notes - Ynoa went 5 innings with 2 hits, 5ks, no ER on 4/7 for a no decision. Freeman, Ozuna, and Swanson are pains for Ross (OPS > 1.000 over 10+ PAs).  Harrison hit Ynoa in his first start.

Dedicating this GDT to Nats2Playoffs - May the Fourth be with the Nats and with him!

Of course the big news is who is back.  FP.

[Natsinpwc]

Game.

You thread starters are trying to rile me up with all this extraneous punctuation and reversed team names, aren't you?

Looks like it was done with Wordperfect.

Working fast.  Nationals should be first on the thread title, right? No "." after the vs, too.  Like I said, working fast

[Natsinpwc]

How is that pitch Ynoa throws a slider if it drops straight down?

[NatNasty]

Of course the big news is who is back.  FP.

VaRK must be ecstatic.

Added a dedication to the OP in honor of Star Wars Day and Nats2Playoffs.  May the Fourth be with us!

First thing I thought too
I for one have a new appreciation for our color man-welcome back, FP!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Not that tough of a chance, but Ross fields well.  Swanson gives him trouble but fortunately his single was 2 outs and bases empty

Sweet

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Robles earns his pay on that catch

[Slateman]

Really nice route and catch

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I want to like these hats

[skippy1999]

Oh come on, is he not music to your ears at this point?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

2 walks don't kill.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

The dulcet tones of FP, like the susurration of leaves in a gentle breeze. 

Oh come on, is he not music to your ears at this point?

[GburgNatsFan]

That should be a confidence builder for Robles.

Also, Kolko sounds like he's taking Jaegler lessons. His patter has Dave's rhythm tonight.

I still wonder why FP got suspended.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Nice catch, but swinging at shadows there

[Natsinpwc]

The dulcet tones of FP, like the susurration of leaves in a gentle breeze.

Back to the dictionary for susurration.

[hohoho]

I still wonder why FP got suspended.

Conduct unbecoming a lackey.
