Jorbit again for House. Curious.

yeah id have rather seen House at 3B and Weimer in there at DH (or RF with Wood DHing, whoever is better), but I guess they want to see if Jorbit can achieve exit velocity from the bench/AAAA land.

I think House has made a few errors, but Vivas is not supposed to be great shakes in the field. I wonder if House is banged up a little. That said, this lineup keeps Nasim in the field rather than Vivas at 2nd and Tena DH. Nasim has been hitting some, so I like the D up the middle a lot better and Nasim may be > Tena hitting RHP. I suppose it may be worth a try.

House seems like a stud at third. Him being banged up a bit seems more plausible to me over them preferring Vivas' D.

Heard the overflight coming from Crystal City to the ballpark.

Hope DCA was on hold at the time

Nice 1st from Mikolas.

Wood smash for double

Interesting they flipped Lile and House in the order.

Tough luck on the groudnout to Freeman but at least no one thrown out.

ABRAMS!!!

OK to pose that time on that bomb, CJ!

3-0 on a 3 run homer

Let's freaking go CJ!! Pretty impressive how he pulled that pitch 😃😃

Not a bad stop by García.

Dang, pretty good swing for a pitcher.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #17 on:** April 03, 2026, 01:44:59 pm »

Will somebody drug test that guy

Squab · « **Reply #18 on:** April 03, 2026, 01:45:35 pm »

so much for my early lead. Ohtani is inevitable.

nobleisthyname · « **Reply #19 on:** April 03, 2026, 01:45:41 pm »

Oof, don't like to see that for Ruiz.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** April 03, 2026, 01:46:06 pm »

I suppose Mikolas can always remember his first two innings as the Nats home opener starter

if Mikolas can't keep the ball down it's BP out there
