Hope you have better luck than I've had with the last few GDTs.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Three Ks around a hit to start the game.

Maybe my goal is to get the best position in the GDT Tankathon. There's a WNFF draft, right?

yes, worst GDT record gets opening day 2022

[OldChelsea]

Hernandez drives in Escobar, 1-nil Nats, bottom of 1st.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Fedde start?

Fedde start?

Seriously, absent a free-agent signing, who is the opening day starter?

[Dave in Fairfax]

Soto!

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

Boom

[OldChelsea]

Soto solo HR, 2-nil Nats, 3rd inning...projected distance 450ft (per Jageler).

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Really, a ball that's halfway up the wall should not be uncatchable, but for positioning.

[Natsinpwc]

Carp got all excited.

[Natsinpwc]

Espino does not throw that hard. Let him pitch the whole game.

[OldChelsea]

The Nats' bullpen (The Arsonists) getting ready to hand another game over to the opposition...

[Dave in Fairfax]

I am getting a strong sense of déjà vu.

[Natsinpwc]

Should have left Espino in.  Not like we have an decent bullpen. 

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

That was un-Vothy 

[Slateman]

Carter has fallen off a cliff since a nice August

The real Kieboom? I’m not confident in him being the OD starter.

[OldChelsea]

Garcia with an RBI, 3-nil Nats, 6th inning.

[Slateman]

Between Triple A and today, Tanner Rainey has struck out 12 in a row

[JCA-CrystalCity]

The Nats' bullpen (The Arsonists) getting ready to hand another game over to the opposition...

acid test. Thompson in.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Whitey Herzog reference? Should we drink?

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I wish we had someone like Ray Hudson in the booth.  "A magisterial pitch...shimmering like a silver salmon in a summer stream"
