Kiebert throws out another base-stealer!! And, somehow, Ribalta gets out of the inning with the Nats still holding a lead. Exhale.

Hard to believe Littell is pitchin a 3-hit shutout over five. Need more runs.

Littell's ERA for May 2026 is 2.35, including the 2 earned runs allowed in 6 innings today. He has improved.

Nats needed that fourth run. So Chappy is useful.

A long two innings left...Ribalta stretches into another inning?

Jacob Young making jumping catches look so effortless.

Wow! Machado is still Manny Machado, but Jacob is still Young.

Jacob Young is more than an athlete, he's an artist:

Padres have a formidable bullpen.

Tena, Vivas, Nunez, and, yes, Chappy are a bit redundant. Maybe Nunez needs to go to Rochester to improve his hitting, but the Nats don't need both Vivas and Tena on the big team.

Mead is not bad.

Such a fun team!

imref · « **Reply #41 on:** May 31, 2026, 04:14:50 pm »

Ending the game on a strike-em-out-throw-em-out DP isn't something you see very often.

Ruiz might be having an all-star season.

Oh, and

welch · « **Reply #42 on:** May 31, 2026, 04:15:33 pm »

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a way to win that last two outs!!! And Keibert! Keibert! Throwing out base-stealers!

Now you can do it, Dan. Go ahead about winning another series.

how are we this good

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #44 on:** May 31, 2026, 04:18:05 pm »

Usually it's the Nats who get caught in the strike 'em out, throw'em out dp to end games or rallies.

K-bert is ... valuable.
