yea team!

[welch]

Irvin strikes out two in the first? Thomas got a hit and Joey drove him in?

(Forgot it was an afternoon game)

[Slateman]

Easy tomorrow

[Dave in Fairfax]

I missed what happened. From the replay, did the ball hit him on the inside edge of the kneecap?

[welch]

Free Riley! Let him play two or three days a week.

It did. I wonder if he popped his acl reacting to the hit. His knee seemed to go sideways.

[welch]

Irvin with some control problems?

[Slateman]

Free Riley! Let him play two or three days a week.

Play him every day. At first

[welch]

Ouch...another walk.

[aspenbubba]

I’ve seen enough. Pull him and back to Rochester.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

wriggles off the hook

[welch]

Eddie Yost: 18 years, 2100 games, .394 OBP. Very few intentional walks.

And fine fielding gets Irvin out of the third. Exhale.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

will miss dom's glove when he's released

[welch]

will miss dom's glove when he's released

In a couple years, and if the Nats find a 1B. Nobody above Fred-burg now, and then only if the team converts an OF, like Daylen Lile.

Who will replace him? Kuhl? Abbot? Espino?

[Slateman]

He's gone by the deadline. No reason to keep him when we have young guys who need to get MLB at bats

[welch]

Irvin:

[welch]

Hey, that's our Dominic!

[welch]

Who will replace him? Kuhl? Abbot? Espino?

That's the trouble. Only Espino, and he doesn't deserve to be made a starter yet again.

[welch]

(Is this a Retired Old Fan's game?)

[imref]

And cj goes up there swinging after two walks. Sigh.

[welch]

Grrr...CJ is still learning, but sometimes it is like the teacher's fingernails on the blackboard.

Frizzell is at wilmington.

[Mighty Casey]

swinging at bouncing balls in the dirt is the trademark of this team....working the pitcher, understanding the strike zone and being willing to make good contact instead of swinging for the moon at garbage are skills this team of duffers lacks.
