Game...

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Tough to identify anything Littell  is doing well this year. Has given up nearly 4 HR/9. While his walk rate is acceptable to good (6.8 BB%), his K rate is awful (12.8 K%). Opponents batting average is .312.

Holmes is a converted reliever. He's had some luck on balls in play (.207), stranding runners (89.9%), and a low K% (15.8%). Opponents are hitting .193.

Nats lineup is fairly standard vs RHP, except with House DHing and Vivas at 3rd and Tena on the pines.

Mets lineup of course is missing Lindor.

i just spent 5 mins on his fangraphs page trying to find something but he seems to be career worst in pretty much everything by a large margin

Please send Lutrell far, far away. Maybe invite him back for Spring Traing BP.

DFA Littell. Now.

He is not showing anything.
If he has a few more bad starts I would hope he would not be on the roster

[Slateman]

Game over

[RobDibblesGhost]

Kinda sucks when both Wood and Abrams are struggling at the plate.

[OfftheBat]

The Nats are making Holmes look like Cy Young😭

[Slateman]

Really wish they would release Garcia

[Squab]

Really wish they would release Garcia

kind of surprised they didn’t non tender him, making 6 million

[Ali the Baseball Cat]

We need the Elijah Dukes softball girl routine to get things going here

[Squab]

thought Lile had that one

[Slateman]

thought Lile had that one

Just under it

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Lile is just a little short on power.

[GataNats]

Offense is struggling

[JCA-CrystalCity]

With Littell, you feel every time there's two men on, you are one pitch from a blow out inning

[RobDibblesGhost]

With Littell, you feel every time there's a man on, you are one pitch from a multirun inning

I have a feeling this inning is going to blow up on him. Hope I’m wrong.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Gotta update it again now. Littell totally can’t find the plate…

[tomterp]

Nowhere near the strike zone.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Despite winning the Wh Sox series our hitting was non existent.
