I’d be shocked if Harrison hasn’t drawn any interest from other teams.

Me, too. A great find, Rizzo.

Thinking about it, would Harrison return much in a rental? He's a sparky player, but would be a utility infielder for a couple months. Not a difference maker for any team strong enough to be contending for the playoffs.

He might get you a sneaky good prospect but definitely not top 100. Harrison makes more sense as an add to a deal to sweeten the return.

Pleasure to watch a pitching duel. If I were Dombrowski I would trade Wheeler and try and fill multiple holes on the team.

Theres our Max

Yep, there was our Max today, another dominating start.

So does he pitch the 7th?

Gomes!!!!!!!

Scherzer is only at 88 pitches, why not send him out for the 7th?

What's the risk/reward of sending him out? Very little upside with some risk of getting hurt or getting rocked.

Because he needed to just show he was healthy. One more inning will not matter to the acquiring team. Maybe they hold on and win this for him, who knows?

First safe (ish) lead in the 7th/9th all season

Nice to see a pitcher attacking the strike zone, trusting his stuff. Essentially the anti-Suero.

I like this Finnegan guy. Gotta cut down on the free passes though.

Nice to hear Yan Gomes, hear him, see him. Remembering 2019.

That's what the Mets should have thought. Instead, they went through Harvey, De Grom, Syndegaard, Wheeler, and Matz.

As disastrous as this season has been, always nice to beat the Phillies.

Well, a bit of a lump in the throat thinking that's likely Max's last win for the Nats. What a horse for us. I'd not be shocked if that's the last playing time for Gomes as a Nat too. Sneaky good for this team.
