Chargois, not Chargoi. From Sulfur, Louisiana, so I'm guessing a Cajun.

Zuck:

Ruiz was scratched from Thursday’s lineup because he felt lightheaded. He felt fine enough to be the designated hitter Friday night in Miami, but hasn’t been in the lineup since. Manager Davey Martinez said yesterday Ruiz spent most of Saturday morning at the dentist and was given some more time to recover.

“After talking to the medical staff last night, we just wanted to give him another day today and make sure that he's totally good so he could come back and get ready to go,” Martinez said during his pregame media session Sunday. “Riley Adams has been playing well. We just want to give him another day and make sure he's well and rested and ready to go tomorrow.”

The Nationals expect Ruiz, who has been in the clubhouse all weekend in his normal upbeat mood, to play in Monday’s opener in Toronto. The catcher is taking some new medication, which should take full effect in his system by tomorrow’s game against the Blue Jays.

“I expect to play tomorrow. He should be OK,” Martinez said. “He said he feels better. But like I said, it was more just keeping him off his feet with another day. He's taking some medication. So let it get in there, let it get settled and he'll be ready to go tomorrow.”

New pitcher. Höing is a Westphalian surname, though this Hoeing is from Indiana.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Every Day, Every Play with the timely BB.

And you know Smith won’t get it done. Useless. Why he is even on this team

[JCA-CrystalCity]

A Lead! Smith doing enough.

[welch]

Sometimes, getting singles and doubles is better than swinging for homers. 

[GataNats]

Just hate watching Williams pitch.   He’s like a beer league pitcher

[GataNats]

Guy is awful

[welch]

...and Williams doing what he does.

[Dave in Fairfax]

Solo homers are OK. Soler ones not so much.

[GataNats]

Vargas is so bad

[aspenbubba]

Are we seeing the real KieBUST? I was afraid the first several games where he excelled were just de ju vous from his initial time with the Nats.

Dang, his career BA just went below the Mendoza line...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

got my 5 innings 2 runs out of Williams

[Slateman]

Back to being crap with a stupid mullet

[JCA-CrystalCity]

nice start by Williams. No sense pushing him past 6. Garcia can handle the bottom of the order and Arraez

[Slateman]

Quality start from Williams

[JCA-CrystalCity]

double steal time
