Nationals @ Guardians, Game 2

[aspenbubba]

Chaparro has just looked anemic at the plate.

2 hits 17 AB’s

[aspenbubba]

Nunez attempt got into Cavallis head

[JCA-CrystalCity]

1 run given up.  I'll take it

[tomterp]

All things considered, Curtis has been a hell of a pick up.

Yep.  Great attitude, learning and improving.  If he could become an average 3rd B what a win it would be for us.

[GataNats]

Nunez having a horrific game today

[JCA-CrystalCity]

If Cavalli gets back on track next inning, then he could go through 7

Not implausible.  If he started doing something off kilter this staff is capable of making mid-inning corrections.

Seeing Ruiz trying to run that was fast was pretty comical. I'm not even mad he got out.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

gee, I hope Rjuiz wasn't trotting at the start

[skippy1999]

Oh ffs I feel like every time I turn on the game one of our players is barreling straight into and out at second

He really turned on the jets, such as they are.

He really turned on the jets, such as they are.

Reminds me of this one cross country practice I had in High School. We were going up this really steep hill Arlington was doing these exaggerated arm movements and i was going at a brisk pace and passed him. For some people it just comes more natural.

[GataNats]

Got to get Chapparo out of there.   Zero range

[GataNats]

Bring him back out for the seventh.   Throwing 99 in the 6th

[welch]

I was worrying about Cavali in the 6th. Get out of it, at 87 pitches. Who takes over?

[Slateman]

Nice job

[JCA-CrystalCity]

87 pitches. Close call whether to push him for one more inning or give the reliever a clean inning. Ribalta, Lovelady, Varland?

[tomterp]

He's out.  Bullpen needs work, getting stiff through inaction   

[JCA-CrystalCity]

111 on that wood liner

[SkinsNatFan21RIP]

Chappy isn’t a big leaguer

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Dion doowops the Nats

[IdahoNat]

Has Chapparo gotten a hit yet since being called up?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Chappy isn’t a big leaguer

i'd give him some leash. Not K'ing, drawing walks. Mostly hitting it hard. I think it will come around

2. but only 4 Ks.
