Nats are working their way toard a better drafting position next year.
Yes!  Need to stay “ahead” of the Buccos.

Looks like I picked a good night for leaving work a bit late, taking an hour bike ride, showering,  deciding to grab take out dinner from a kiosk at the park next door, have them take a long time, then flipping on the game down 6-3. Didn't pay attention to the next 3 runs while I ate and put away laundry.

In the absence of Mitlen, the buccos had us all the way

Three cheers for a nod to Mitlen!

I took the time to read the second game of a double header on September 1, 1924. Ever so impressed with Joe Judge, the quick and slick-fielding 1B for the Nationals, starting a 3-6-3 DP in the second game, and 6 for 7 on the day, with 3 doubles (up to 34 on the season) and his 8th triple.

If the 2024 Nats had a 1B like Judge, we could forget about lumbering power hitters like Gallo and Chaparro and Yepez. Judge was batting .319 with an OPS of .839. That is well above anyone in the current Nats lineup.

Painful to flip to the game after having read about Earl McNeely (CF), Bucky Harris (2B), Sam Rice (RF), Goose Goslin (LF), Judge (1B), Ossie Bluege (3B) Muddy Ruel (C), and Roger Peckinpaugh (SS).

Looking like the braintrust found some talent with him. Probably why they held onto him rather than call up somebody like Blankenhorn

I got 90 minutes of tennis in that wouldn't have happened if this game mattered.  Good thing about this team is you don't feel compelled to watch, so you can have a life.

Tough Sheetz... ;)

Over the last two games the Marlins and Pirates booth crews have given us the sum-up lines of the season, for our 2024 Nationals...

Marlins - 'and, once again, the Nationals fail to score...'

Pirates - 'and yet another unforced error from the Nationals - they're not playing very well, are they...'
