I went with highlighting Williams's and Berrios's to try to take out the effect of Williams suppressing homers last year. Even without his 4.2% HR/FB, he was very good. Nearly 8 K/9, < 2.5 BB/9. IT wasn't all luck. Berrios actually was luckier than Williams in a few ways: fewer K/9, more BB/9, 15% HR/FB, but still a very respectable ERA. Berrios was shelled a bit in his first start this year.

Difficult to tell, from the highlights reel, but have our 2025 Nationals faced a particularly hostile atmosphere playing in Canada? (especially as the Nats represent DC - the center of US Govt). It's been reported that Canada v US hockey games have been 'testing'...

(no poiitics, please - I'm just thinking about additional pressure on what is a young team).

No Crews, eh? Platooning him already? Interesting...

Call due for a game. Only guy not to play so far

Curious why the Jays play Roden in right when Springer is in CF. Looks like a weaker defensive OF this way vs yesterday

Shut up Franny, that was a K, not a good AB

IanRubbish · « **Reply #13 on:** April 01, 2025, 07:15:04 pm »

Keibert's OPS still 260 points higher than Soto's

IanRubbish · « **Reply #14 on:** April 01, 2025, 07:20:43 pm »

Williams just 10 pitches to get through the 1st, would be a great to see another strong start

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #15 on:** April 01, 2025, 07:27:19 pm »

Let's hope Berrios is more touchable next time through the order.

this one got dull fast.

great PA for Call, we need more patience like that

Air Desmond · « **Reply #18 on:** April 01, 2025, 07:49:42 pm »

Jacob Young stinks. Call up Hassell.

Or make him a late inning defensive replacement and start Call

IanRubbish · « **Reply #20 on:** April 01, 2025, 08:00:29 pm »

still not a bad start for Williams, just lots of singles

Does Teflon Davey ever get blamed for this teams struggles?

Soto 0 for 3 tonight, OPS down to .929, you know there'll be a NY Post headilne soon
