Who's going?  Thinking about hanging out in the Loft* for while.

*or whatever it's to be called this year.

[Slateman]

Save your money, go see a minor league team. Or a college team. Or your local Little League.

i was planning on sneaking out of work and going, but unfortunately had a call get scheduled at 1 PM.

[Elvir Ovcina]

I'm in town and got a free ticket and have a way out of work today anyway, so I'll be there. 

[HalfSmokes]

Another year that MASN hasn't found a way to stream. At least Charlie and Dave are good

If you're in the Loft early swing by.  I'll be wearing my gray  hat with red brim and a vague Matt Wieters autograph, plus a red pullover NATIONALS block lettered windbreaker.

Feels like years since I've seen this kind of thread. I'm not sure how to respond so many hours before game-time.

Tom - was going to link to a post with a picture of you, but I did a lousy job of posting pictures from the last meet and great (I don't have a hosting account and I don't know exactly how to post) and you were not at the 2021 M&G. You may want to send a link to Elvir via a PM or just dig one up. 

Quite a handsome guy with a distinguished, well trimmed grey beard and the light body frame of an avid hiker and biker.

Like, a seperate streaming app?

[Smithian]

Lineup posted. Alex Call, not Dickerson, in LF. And flip Robles and Abrams at bottom.

With the Spring that Robles had, I.... Have no complaints about that lineup. It won't win a lot of games, but I'll be interested to watch all 9 of those players.

Pitching is a different matter.

I'll see if I can do it.  I'll look like an jerk lawyer who came straight from the office.

I'm an ugly guy with a mostly grey, badly trimmed beard who has the fat body of a former avid hiker who sits at a desk all day.

So my work computer is down due to a bad link / ransome attack. I wonder if I should blow out of here.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Call had a pretty good spring and Fried is a lefty. Makes some sense to play him. The Robles Abrams switch keeps the left right alternation going in the order.

Like the ability to stream without a VPN. Last year, it was them and one other team where there was no way to stream in network

Call could lead the team in walks. 

[Dave in Fairfax]

Good Call.

If you have a cable subscription, you should be able to stream through your provider

Going into this game the Nats have not lost a game this season and are tied for first place. Patrick Corbin's ERA sits at 0.00. It can only get worse from here.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Call could lead the team in walks. 

certainly in BB%. He also will be up there in lowest k%, probably behind Ruiz.

really cool retrospective on 15 years at Nats park on MASN during the pregame coverage. This team has had a heck of a run so far at the ballpark.

Former Nats great Ehire Adrianza is on the Braves.

Good to see DC doing the anthem.
