There goes the no-hitter.

[Natsinpwc]

Need the Nats to win to keep my 4-team parlay alive:  Nats, Mets, Mariners (won already) and Dodgers.  Go Nats.  I figure the Braves are tired from beating up on the Phillies over the weekend. 

[Slateman]

Abbot still sucks

[Natsinpwc]

  Go Nats.  I figure the Braves are tired from beating up on the Phillies over the weekend.

I guess not.

[Slateman]

Joey hitting leadoff

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Solos shouldn't beat you unless you give up 4. Ask the Marlins

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Warning track flies are even less likely to beat you

[Natsinpwc]

So if Riley Adams married Austin Riley would he be called Riley Riley?  And would he be a switch hitter?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

or Austin Adams.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Shouldn't Vaughn Grissom be playing for the Blue Jays?

[Slateman]

Abbot = Reliever

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Right throw.  Soto would have gone home and let the runner advance to 3rd with <2 out

[Slateman]

Nice throw by Lane

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Another nice throw from Thomas

[Dave in Fairfax]

So, how many three-inning-at-best pitchers does the team have?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Garcia just misread the throw from Adams, thinking it would carry in the air into the runner and not bounce?

[Slateman]

Yes

[Slateman]

Maybe a bad bounce. Maybe Garcia just sucks at fielding.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Maybe a bad bounce. Maybe Garcia just sucks at fielding.

the latter.

Vargas!!!!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Joey! Vargas!

Carpenter calling out the silly fans crying about the "jinx" by mentioning a no-hitter in progress. 

Might be the thing I like best about Bob, he refuses to pander to jinx fairy believers.

He's also famously against Isaac Newton

Thanks for crushing my dream.
