Nationals vs Royals, Game 1

[nats2playoffs]

What are those guys chanting?

Now they keep yelling "USA!"

           Why?

Now "SAFE SAFE SAFE" for a field review.

[GataNats]

Tired of these goofy, clowns

[JCA-CrystalCity]

This home plate ump is garbage

[GataNats]

Mead has less than zero range at 3rd

[OfftheBat]

Too bad the tarps off crowd is so young, otherwise we’d have a “way”, “no way” chant going.

Are they currently chanting "Take it off! Take it off" ?? Lool

[Slateman]

So ... does tonight end with another Parker homer?

[JCA-CrystalCity]

Gonna want to see ho w this  ump grades out after tonight

It's something like a 5 game hot streak. Heating up, but it has to last. A good Mariners series, plus tonight. Not much more than that.

I’m still very sorry that he ran over your dog VARK.

I see the chants of “USA USA” have personally upset the subreddit lol. I wish it was an actual baseball sub as opposed to a political sub disguised as a baseball sub. Anyway, the tarps off guys are fun. The crowd is usually completely dead and they’ve been great.

I went to this game with a large group of second graders. They all thought the Tarps Off guys were awesome, the boys all wanted to run away from home to join the Tarps Off section and the girls were all telling their dads to go join the Tarps Off section.

I’m kind of mixed. I could see it getting annoying, and the overrated chant at Witt was dumb.

5 game hit/rbi streak with two homers.

Everyone is testy after a win. Maybe we should go back to losing so we can relax.
