Nationals vs Giants, Game 1

[Mathguy]

But that is Zim facing lefties

Zim hits two HR and Davey puts For Whom the Bell K's in the lineup again.

I'm not saying Davey likes cocaine, I'm just saying he likes the smell of it.

Out

If you were told that a Max start would see 7 innings of 4-hit ball with just a solo HR given up, you'd think Max was doing great. Kudos to the bullpen so far.

Too bad the offense has checked out again, although perhaps DeSclafani deserves the credit.

That was a heck of a catch

DeSclafani deserves some, but this has been a recurring theme for the entire season. Everyone after Turner and Soto is feast or famine. None of then get in base enough to be an annoyance to the pitcher. Likewise, none of them hit well enough to constitute a threat. Basically, once you get past Soto, every other hitter's weaknesses are easily exploitable, even by average hitters. At worst you give up some solo shots

[hohoho]

When your 3-4 hitters are batting under 220, you know you are in trouble.

[hohoho]

MASN: When there aren’t any hitting highlights in today’s game, show them from another game.

I guess the Nats deserve credit for helping with Manfred's pace-of-play initiative.

Always thought that was about pot. Didn’t know it was about cocaine.

2021 Nats fade into obscurity.  They are a very bad team, let's face it.  And this is coming from Mr Positivity.
