Got to my seats after the National Anthem. Metro was unusually clustered. Missed the bobblehead coming in. 

Is a scoreless 1st a moral victory?

Had to work so bailed on this game.  Just as well, watching adults trying to steal bobbleheads is profoundly depressing

I had a thought today that Espino may be a low return trade piece with his versatility. Good to see him give up a couple homers to rid me of that idea.

ks would have hurt less, but there's no k in Keibert. Sort of.

If we're doing chants, this evening, then our 2022 Nationals deserve an old English soccer perennial... ;)  (for the uninitiated, it's to the chorus of 'Go West', by Pet Shop Boys,so the line repeats four times...)

Nice to see the usher diligently chasing some kids out of the premium seats.
