what are they, 1 for their last 25 with risp? 1 for 26?

Nats solution that inning? No risp.

Good Lord that fastball was good tonight

I mean, I understand he’s pitched a lot, but we have to give Lord the 9th unless we add on a few runs, right?

mind you, lord looks fresh and he's burned anyway, so I see your point

Lovelady threw 12 pitches yesterday, and 2 lefties up, so I see this. 47 pitches by Lord is about the most he's thrown this year

Pitching has been fantastic.

Lovelady has been fantastic. Really wish we had one Fire baller righty in the pen.

Had a fun time. We all knew Irvin had that in him.

Met these guys who knew Jordan Davis from Georgia so they bought me a beer and showed me pictures when they went on the field at the Eagles game against fhe Rams last year. When he blocked the game winning field goal.

Friend came for dinner. Her birthday. Saw the Nats had 1-0 lead, worried, and they won! What pitching! Braves got only one hit!

With Mikolas/Irvin/Griffin as the starting pitchers I was worried about getting swept. Instead it's been two competitive games and a

with the best of the three set to go for the final game. He's been shaky lately so I wouldn't be surprised if he gets rocked by this Braves team but this series has been a pleasant surprise so far.
