Game

[NatNasty]

That didn't take long.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Nice hand for Trea after the dinger. A lot wearing red, tbh.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

40 pitches, but only 2 runs.

[welch]

I just turned on the Nats game and they are down 2 - 0 in the bottom of the first. Is MASN replaying last night's game?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Weird way to play the infield.  I guess  slow runner slow batter so they can plat half way. Or thought they could.

[KV]

I’ll take it, but Cruz was out by 5 feet.

[Slateman]

Okay, I dont know who the third base coach is, but he is worse than Henley

DiSarSENDa doesn't quite flow as well as SENDley, does it?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I am freezing. I just have a polo shirt and a windbreaker.  Too bad I don't root for Mookie or else I'd be warming up clapping

[JCA-CrystalCity]

This is one I thought would be a pitcher's duel

[Dave in Fairfax]

I expected the Dodgers pitching staff to have a pretty good book on Gray to pass on to the hitters since he was in their system for almost three years and they played a role in developing his pitching approach.

I had no idea what to expect from Buehler.

[Slateman]

This is an unfortunate development

Do some jumping jacks

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Do some jumping jacks

go to the bar and drink watching out the window

[welch]

So the Nats led for a few minutes in the bottom of the first?

[Slateman]

Yep. Actually been hitting Beuhler hard

[welch]

Enough, Bob, of the 2019 talk with Zim. More relevant to talk about the 2006 - 2010 seasons.

[Slateman]

Welp, looks like we're serving up BP for the Dodgers

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I just remembered I have Mookie on my fantasy team.

[Slateman]

YADI!!!!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

I like Rogers, he posts as he gives up a single with 2 outs

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Matt Cronin the feature on "Down on the Farm ". RZ gets a big hand when shown from the MASN booth.

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

I'll never forget the look of bewildered horror on Freeman's face the first time he experienced Baby Shark
