What a shock. A guy who hasn't started in the majors in a year has trouble when you leave him in to face the third time through the line-up.

Ok. 87 pitches. Try for 1 more, oris it Weems Thompson Finnegan (la sorsa or ferrer at some point)

Machado, Thompson, Weems...until one of them gets into trouble.

Oops, Thompson on IL with knee contusion.

I wonder if Kolko realizes the deeper meaning of the Hellickson comparison, in that Hellickson was on a short leash where he was not sent out to face the line-up a third time no matter how well he was pitching.

Machado gets his inning. Save Finnegan to put out a fire.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #31 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:06:33 pm »

2 straight good outings from Machado

welch · « **Reply #32 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:24:19 pm »

Weems does it again. And now we know where Thompson has been, lately.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #33 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:25:16 pm »

Weems is the kind of reliever salvage job you expect out of the big data teams.

Riley Adams really needs to play more.

welch · « **Reply #35 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:31:53 pm »

What was that?!? Adams and Riley...another run. YES!

One away

That's one

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #39 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:39:36 pm »

RBI in the top of the inning, nice running catch in the bottom of the inning for Vargas.

welch · « **Reply #40 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:41:19 pm »

Hmm...a walk

Double play and the Nats win!!!!

Senatorswin · « **Reply #43 on:** August 05, 2023, 06:42:12 pm »

Wow, first walk by Finnegan in last 12 apperiences.

This is a much better team than it was to start the year and we’re probably over .500 if not for the BP.

Just luring them into the double-play trap.

Finnegans ERA in June 0.79. In July 1.54.

This team is turning the corner. I’m not sure we need to see Vargas or Chavis play the rest of the year. Get Baker up here
