A lead!

[Dave in Fairfax]

A well-executed bunt and a little more small ball for a lead

[Dave in Fairfax]

A dry ball would have been out of there

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Interesting shifts in the order. I guess some of i is going against a lefty, some of it is  Call having success last time vs. Lucceshi, but dropping Candy lower makes some sense.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

nice call on ball 4 to Call. legit strike zone

Game

[Slateman]

Candelario hitting 7th. You know .... of only there were some other player that could play 3rd base and hit 7th.

[Dave in Fairfax]

And another missed opportunity.

Nats logo is next to the word squander in the dictionary.

Looks like the weather man blew this forecast.

Looks like the weather man blew this forecast.

I feel like the weather models are just crapting the bed in North America this Spring.

Can't count how many times in the past few weeks we've (here in south central Tejas) been a couple hours out from a supposed >90% chance of rain, only for a line of storms to come in like 6-8 hours later than anticipated, hit about 1-2 hours early, or just not materialize at all.

Current forecast shows rain ending around 7:30-8

Have to say it’s been generally the same here in central florida the past few weeks. Storms don’t seem to be materializing. Of course most days it’s not 100 percent chance. At least not yet.

90+ temps in the northwest. Looks like it will be a strong El Niño year

Getting ready to resume per Zuck
