Batting Line-Ups:

4. Luis García Jr. (L) 2B
5. Josh Bell (S) DH
6. Robert Hassell III (L) CF
7. Keibert Ruiz (S) C
8. José Tena (L) 3B

Arizona Diamondbacks

1. Ketel Marte (S) DH
2. Geraldo Perdomo (S) SS
3. Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (R) LF
4. Eugenio Suárez (R) 3B
5. Josh Naylor (L) 1B
6. Randal Grichuk (R) RF
7. Ildemaro Vargas (S) 2B
8. Tim Tawa (R) CF
9. Jose Herrera (S) C

This will be Ildemaro Vargas' 3rd stint with Arizona, where he started his career and spent all or part of 5 seasons. He's had more PAs as a Nat than with any other club, though.

With a LHP on the mound for the Nationals, the Arizona line-up has been moved around, with Naylor the only pure lefty hitter.

First game I'll be able to follow in a while.

Can we score 9 against Burnes?

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #3 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:05:53 pm »

The Nats scored 4 runs on 7 hits and 4 walks in 5 innings against Burnes the last time they met, on April 6, so it's possible to get to him. Though that was arguably his worst start of the season.

let's see which Mitchell Parker shows up for the 1st

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #8 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:16:50 pm »

Does this guy throw anything low that doesn't drop out of the zone?

OfftheBat · « **Reply #9 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:18:27 pm »

Wow, nice 1st inning by Burnes. Wish we would've signed him this past Winter.

In any case, go Nats! In Mitchell we trust 🙏

Forgive my ignorance but why are the boys wearing a "4" patch on the front of their jerseys today?

Wonder if that cutter will start to elevate as the game goes on

Parker really struggling

Bad Parker showed up.

nobleisthyname · « **Reply #17 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:24:38 pm »

Parker is not a major league quality pitcher right now.

OfftheBat · « **Reply #18 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:25:10 pm »

Welp, well that sucks.

Parker is now officially our worst starting pitcher……When is Cavelli going to be ready?

I’ve seen enough of Parker.

Watched O's earlier, Cal did a nice tribute to Lou. Jim Palmer said about his stepson's boy died of ALS at 5 if I caught caption correct. anyone else see it?

nobleisthyname · « **Reply #24 on:** June 01, 2025, 04:29:17 pm »

That's the free swinging Vargas I remember. Parker needed that.
