Likely to be Jeimer's last appearance as a Nat at home. Perhaps Dickerson as well.

I like last nites line up better even tho the match ups aren’t in our favor vs a righty. Like Adams in the line up with Ruiz DH and Joey at first. Garrett over Dickerson regardless.

2 run homer to guy hitting .198 w two hr

i was really hoping Irvin would maintain his momentum after Friday's outing, but alas, it was not meant to be.  Hopefully he got it out of his system in the 2nd.

[Slateman]

When he finally hangs em up, I will miss Bob getting excited about random fly balls

Not quite

[Slateman]

Irvin is the new JoJo

[Natsinpwc]

Well that was hit hard. And long.

[aspenbubba]

This is a repeat from yesterday deja vous all over again

[imref]

hopefully machado is here because irvin will be lucky to get through the 4th. Already at 57 pitches.

[Five Banners]

4 straight balls to .188 hitting guy

[GataNats]

Get Dickerson off this roster

[imref]

3ER in 5IP isn't terrible.

3ER in 5IP isn't terrible.

Irvin so far is looking to be a perfectly serviceable 5th starter in a competitive team's rotation.

[imref]

wtf what Davey thinking sending Irvin out for the 6th at 91 pitches?

Irvin is a guy you live with now, but you really want to move him to the pen if you have a good rotation

[imref]

offense has been garbage today. Must be the popcorn.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Get Dickerson off this roster

you'll get your wish after the trade deadline.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Weems has an interesting role. Right now, he's the #3 guy in the bullpen, I think. Maybe  Ferrer?  But Weems is being used here to pitch in low leverage, down 3. I don't understand his usage.

Only down 3 runs, Davey hasn't thrown in the towel yet.

[imref]

Didn't realize hockey players could pitch.

Didn't realize hockey players could pitch.

That came to mind when they drafted Sykora

[imref]

Just need to see if there's a Conor McDavid who we can sign as an UDFA

[GataNats]

The hell is Machado doing back?
