vs.

Washington Nationals vs. Tampa Bay Rays
Where: Nationals Park
When: Monday, April 3, 7:05 EDT
Weather: 71°F, 0% chance of precipitation, winds from the south around 10 mph.
TV: MASN
Radio: 106.7 FM

Pitching Match-Up:

Trevor Williams (RHP) versus Drew Rasmussen (RHP)

I know nothing about Trevor Williams except that he gives up a lot of home runs, so he should fit right in with this staff.

Batting Line-Ups:

Washington Nationals

1. Luis García (L) 2B
2. Joey Meneses (R) DH
3. Jeimer Candelario (S) 3B
4. Dominic Smith (L) 1B
5. Keibert Ruiz (S) C
6. Lane Thomas (R) RF
7. CJ Abrams (L) SS
8. Ildemaro Vargas (S) LF
9. Victor Robles (R) CF

Tampa Bay Rays

1. Brandon Lowe (L) 2B
2. Wander Franco (S) SS
3. Randy Arozarena (R) DH
4. Luke Raley (L) 1B
5. Harold Ramírez (R) LF
6. Isaac Paredes (R) 3B
7. Josh Lowe (L) RF
8. Manuel Margot (R) CF
9. Francisco Mejía (S) C

Apparently, Brandon's surname is pronounced like "wow" while Josh's is pronounced like "blow". And Manuel's rhymes with "how fast does this car go?"

Strange out

2-0 Tampa Bay, sounds like the Trop with the light crowd

Well, is this Trevor Williams? Is this as much as we can expect?

IanRubbish · « **Reply #4:** April 03, 2023, 07:22:25 PM »

Nats out in just nine pitches. Our free swinging lineup is a gift to opposing starters.

Appreciate the stats from Carpy - 83% stolen base success rate so far this year in MLB. Good for the game.

Repeat after me, PFP.

What the freak? Clear interference

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #8:** April 03, 2023, 07:31:32 PM »

Margot kicked Smith's glove off.

I know this is supposed to be a 100+ loss team, but umps shouldn't be mailing it in.

IanRubbish · « **Reply #9:** April 03, 2023, 07:37:48 PM »

Rasmussen just 18 pitches in 2 innings.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #10:** April 03, 2023, 07:44:59 PM »

Nice recovery inning for Trevor.

A hit!

Oh no! We suck again.

I’m guessing it’s not a reviewable call, which is bs because it’s cut and dry on replay

Defense good. Bullpen good. Everything else. Not so good

They'd just waste 5 minutes looking at it and still get it wrong.

Rest of division not good...today. Phillies down again, Marlins down 8-0, Mets lost 10-0. Atlanta only NL East team that's scored today.

Record low since 2005 is 9,261. I'll go with 9,260.

Nice job CJ. Patient.

Now let's hope for another WP.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #22:** April 03, 2023, 08:59:36 PM »

Vargas schmargas. Love the guy, but Call should be out in left.

welch · « **Reply #23:** April 03, 2023, 09:01:10 PM »

OK. they're done for the night.
