Once again, the Nats will attempt to get to .500!

Some game notes, via mlb.com:
- Griffin's ERA over his last 3 starts: 0.45. Burns is at 1.42
- Hottest Nats hitters over the last 10 games: Garcia Jr. (.324), Abrams (.317), Lile (.306)
- De La Cruz hitting .349 over his last 10, no other Red over .300 in that span (Dunn is right at .300)
- Parker is likely not available. Lord also threw 36 his last time out. Lovelady, Ribalta, Kent, and Varland have the lowest usage over the last 3 days.

I hope Wood has learned to challenge only the inch plus off strike calls. Today was a good one.

House overmatched with the fastball. Might have wanted to flip him and Young. Both spots in the order are protected by lefty hitters before and after.

Most hitters look overmatched against Burns.

Griffin should get us some good players at the deadline if this keeps up

Looks like Foster is up for the challenge. On pace for 27Ks after one.

Young can play.

Some good prospects from A and A+?

still with a chance at 20Ks after 5 through 2IP

Yep. He's pitching really well.

Griffin sucks. DFA

Seing Nathaniel A-lo-ha makes me wish one of the Nats hard-throwing relievers can break Lowe's leg. Utterly non-professional part-season with the Nats. Cost Washington Robert Garcia, who is not an all-star, but who is not nothing.

This team is never going to get back to .500 this year lol

Reds' revenge. Now down 4-0.

Well this is pretty annoying

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #21 on:** May 14, 2026, 01:45:19 pm »

Well, we weren't scoring off Burns today and weren't going to get to the bullpen early.

welch · « **Reply #22 on:** May 14, 2026, 01:50:29 pm »

Two out of three makes sense against the Reds.

welch · « **Reply #23 on:** May 14, 2026, 02:05:20 pm »

So four plus innings for the bullpen...

I had to pour a double just to vanquish a Debbie Gibson earworm
