Lane Thomas with a lead-off double.

Voit and Cruz are useless in the 3 and 4th spots. They are probably useless anywhere in the line up

Uggghhhhh.

Glad Pineda gets a start

Everyone says that winning brings back the fans but the Phillies attendance this year and this month shows that there is a lag. After 11 years of losing or .500 ball fans are used to NOT going to games. Same thing will happen with the Nats.

That's where CJ not having an arm really hurts.

At least CBP has good ingress and egress

If a Washington team starts winning more than they lose, then fans will break down the doors. We saw it in 1960, 1969, and then the New Nationals in 2011 and 2012.

Think they will stop the game after this batter.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #10:** September 11, 2022, 02:02:36 PM »

And the delay begins.

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #11:** September 11, 2022, 05:22:29 PM »

Game should be restarting soon.

New Phillies pitcher is Cristopher Sánchez.

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #13:** September 11, 2022, 05:37:48 PM »

I believe Cristopher Sanchez will probably be sent down by the Phillies after the game today to activate Seranthony Dominguez. Talk about taking one for the team.

Alright Voit!

welch · « **Reply #15:** September 11, 2022, 06:00:45 PM »

Abrams can bunt.

welch · « **Reply #16:** September 11, 2022, 06:02:35 PM »

A hit and a run!

imref · « **Reply #17:** September 11, 2022, 06:08:56 PM »

Zuck notes: "Vargas now batting .321 and slugging .500 over 120 plate appearances since joining the Nationals."

Yes!! Joey drives in another.

Slateman · « **Reply #19:** September 11, 2022, 06:25:05 PM »

Nice play by Voit

welch · « **Reply #20:** September 11, 2022, 06:30:22 PM »

And a smooth swing and a base hit for Abrams.

So Erasmo does not have it today.

welch · « **Reply #23:** September 11, 2022, 06:50:58 PM »

Harvey and Abrams. Slick.

imref · « **Reply #24:** September 11, 2022, 07:29:30 PM »

I’m confused by Abrams getting hits. Doesn’t he need to be at AAA?
