Did you like this approach? Worked out well, anyway.

Already running the pen into the ground

IF we go to a reliever, I would think it'd be Granillo. save Waldichuk for after a righty (or open tomorrow).

If Weimer homers they should let him pitch the 9th.

RBI from our leadoff hitter!

I dunno. I don't think I'd freak up my swing by going after that garbage.

Also, I bet the Phillies hitters don't wave the white flag in the bottom.

Why in the world are we bringing Henry in?

We put balls in play tonight and good things happened. Don’t look now but we lead the league in runs scored.

imref · « **Reply #115 on:** March 30, 2026, 09:50:33 pm »

13 runs with only three extra base hits.

I had to chuckle at some of the comments about putting the ball in play. Made me think Darnell Coles is here. Nice it worked one night but you won;t be able to replicate all those soft singles for a long time. And the Garica double was even softer. Nice pitching by Griffin though. That't the most encouraging thing if you want to dream about a wild card spot.

Advanced computer analysis now suggests:
the Washington Nationals record will be
122 wins and 40 losses for the season.
