Griffin starting Wednesday vs a Venezuelan team per TalkNats. They note a lot of pitchers are getting work outside of game settings.

Who should we capture off that team to ensure that they don't beat the USA in the tournament?

Rough start for Mikolas but Tena's 2R HR brings the Nats back. 3-2 in the 3rd.

Mikolas: 3IP, 3H, 1BB, 3K, 3ER

Mikolas: 3IP, 3H, 1BB, 3K, 3ER

again, you wonder if they'd  cut him if he doesn't work out. They want the innings, but assuming Cavalli, Gray, Griffin are healthy, and two of Irvin, Lord, Parker, and Cornelio are ready to go, then there's a decision.

it's hard to know at this point if he's rusty, working on something, or just sucks.

[Smithian]

Mikolas got a late start. I think he makes the opening rotation as an inning sponge. One of those pitchers JCA laid out will get hurt and another one or two will stink. Numbers always have a way of sorting themselves out.

Nats pound Anderson Severino in the 6th:
Tena BB
Hassell 1B
Lipscomb 2B
Mervis 1B
Wiemer 1B

Nats lead 6-3 with 2 outs. Starters are still in

Tena has drawn 5 BBs this spring with 3 Ks in  15 PAs. You wonder if they told him they wanted to emphasize selectivity.

King added a double, 7-3 Nats.
