Nationals @ Braves, Game 1

[JCA-CrystalCity]

where is this coming from? Do Alu and Kieboom think this is the minors?

Maybe it's Cece Winans pitching now in place of the starter.

[Slateman]

JAKE

[imref]

Young got robbed. Should have thrown his helmet into the crowd

[aspenbubba]

Is Williams going to give it back this inning or the  dreadful fifth?

[Slateman]

Lmao, Williams cant get through 4 after 13 days off

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Machado Man!

[JCA-CrystalCity]

could Lane become a 20-20-20 guy?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Alu has something like 310 innings at 2nd this year. I'm not sure he played 2nd in the minors last year or before that. I don't think he knows not to do the glove flip from that distance.

71.2 last year in AA/AAA. 270 the year before. 231 at Auburn in 2019. So, less than 900 innings as a pro in scattered over 4 seasons.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

been a while since Ruiz has gone deep before just now

[imref]

Still scrappy. Crappy in the field but scrappy at the plate.

[Slateman]

Its weird how all our guys who were hitting striked suddenly started to struggle when not given strikes. Almost like there is a philosophy behind it

[imref]

Darnell Coles is having a heck of a night

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Another Lead!

Aspen, please note Dom has finally hit a multirun homer that puts the Nats in the lead after trailing.

of course, it's against Brad Hand.

[welch]

Of course Dom Smith homers off of THE Brad Hand. And the Nats take the lead!!

[imref]

CJ is due

Thank you. Well deserved and as they say even a blind squirrel …. 

[Slateman]

Smith hit a meaningful homer?!?!?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Thank you. Well deserved and as they say even a blind squirrel …. 

I mean, you were absolutely correct about his homers until now. that made it the moment

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Smith hit a meaningful homer?!?!?

oh, and let's not forget the Braves have less of a stake in this game than they do in their typical spring training game. No one is trying to earn a spot.

[welch]

Smart play, Keibert

[aspenbubba]

Davey really wants to win this one

[Natsinpwc]

Dom “Clutch Cargo” Smith.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

well, it's a lefty, so no one outside Nats fans are impressed with Platoon Bat.
