There goes the no hitter...

[NatNasty]

I smell a Win today

[Slateman]

Oh .... so thats what a DH does

[welch]

I've been puzzling over Aaron Sanchez. Why is he starting in the majors? Baseball Ref shows that he had a fine season in 2016, but nothing since.

He did fine last year but then hurt again I believe. They are looking for bounce back guys. Unfortunately he is bouncing the wrong way.

Alcantara a bit wild today

[Slateman]

Lane really isnt anything special as a defender

[Slateman]

Sanchez is quickly becoming an easy DFA candidate

Game

If the Nats sent Aaron Sanchez to Rochester, would anyone pick him up?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

If the Nats sent Aaron Sanchez to Rochester, would anyone pick him up.

pretty sure he'd refuse assignment and become a free agent. Not a huge loss. Guess he goes when Ross is back.

I think it’s clear why he wasn’t pitching

[skippy1999]

Nice job by Franco

Vic losing track of the # of outs

Nice outing by Edwards.

I think Adon goes before him but I have no clue who would replace him

[Natsinpwc]

So with no NBA or NHL playoffs tonight we get a preview of summer life with just the Nats.

[Slateman]

I think Adon goes before him but I have no clue who would replace him

Adon and Sanchez can both leave to accommodate Ross and Stras

[van lingle mungo]

Yup. Total clown show. This is brutal.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Please, if you didn’t torture yourself by watching this game, go online and look at that play in the top of the 7th. Sums up the team and season perfectly.

If he goes before one of the actual major league pitchers returns, Espino would be the likely backfill candidate.

Intensely incompetent at baseball.

“Throw a tent over that circus” the marlins commentators after the multiple throwing errors

[Elvir Ovcina]

Robles really needs to learn to hit the ball the other way.  Hitting ground balls into one of the most extreme shifts I've ever seen on a righty is a ridiculous repeat outcome.
