Rangers have been in a funk lately and we”re facing Corbin. That’s the recipe for a complete game shutout…

If Corbin pitches like he did in DC and b4 he will never be a 500 pitcher, He only tied it in 2019. He has given up the 2nd most homers of all active pitchers. I like our chances....

I thought it'd be stormy before the game and broken up so didn't use my ticket.

Considering his excellent 2022-24 and the team winning the WS, do Rangers fans care? I doubt they're clamoring to cancel that contract.

If he got old, a change of scenery might help him. Texas weather nasty in summer

Hit by pitches is this year's caught stealing. Have to have at least one a game.

Willims to the pen. Soroka should pitch five innings, and then Davey needs to be ready with relievers in the 6th.

They missed the later '50s "cigar-chomping senator ", That was a good one. The Expansion Senators used a photo of Don Newcombe as the base for their logo.

Run expectancy with 1st and 2nd no outs is 1.374. The Nats only scored 1 in the second, so they are behind in Colorado.

Good to see Mini Me was willing to pay for a version of the Screech costume with a city connect cap, things can get iffy when dealing with Lernerbucks

What's weird is that the Mets lead the NL in HBP by a pretty big margin. 41. The Nats are second at 32. The Rangers are actually well below AL league average.

Just four Mets - Alonso, Lindor, Marte and Tyrone Taylor - together have been hit 31 times, one less than the Nats as a whole, and more than 26 other teams.

Nats pitchers do lead the NLMLB in hitting other guys, though.
