Pitching tonight is the Devil you know (Littell) vs the Devil you don't know (Fuentes). Fuentes is a young starter called up from Gwinett for a spot start, but may stick if he does well. Littell has been gopher ball prone beyond even his historical tendencies, and has nearly doubled his BB rate from last year.

Looks like a standard lineup for the Nats vs a RHP.

Wouldn't it be nice if we had a catcher who hit so well he'd DH on his off days?

Well that didn't last long.

Solo by Baldwin.

DFA Littell. That’s probably the first of multiple long balls given up tonight.

Now this is ridiculous. Another "vote no" commercial the day after the referendum. Direct TV in Arlington

I missed that Nas is getting rest for Vivas tonight.

Would be good not to squander the 2 guys on with 0 outs.

Yeah good luck even trying to toss Jacob Young out.

The pitching is such garbage

IdahoNat · « **Reply #16 on:** April 22, 2026, 07:19:48 pm »

Man if only we had an All-Star Ace pitcher right now.

RobDibblesGhost · « **Reply #17 on:** April 22, 2026, 07:21:37 pm »

Get the bullpen up.

What is Spicolli doing?

aspenbubba · « **Reply #19 on:** April 22, 2026, 07:22:19 pm »

The only thrower on the team worse than Littel is Mikolas

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #20 on:** April 22, 2026, 07:22:38 pm »

so the Vivas dropped pop costs 2 runs. That base runner who came in on the homer, and the runner who came in on the sac fly that would have been out #3.

Yeah…pretty frustrating to see a major leaguer drop a pop-up that most high school players handle easily.

House has had a great view of those strikeout pitches right down the middle...

nobleisthyname · « **Reply #23 on:** April 22, 2026, 07:30:58 pm »

House seemed frustrated after the first called strike that was probably outside.
