We should have let Cornelio start the first day he came up.   Putting him in the pen stunted his growth

Putting him on a major league mound for the first time provoked a melt down of massive proportions.

That Contreras toss seemed like BS. Too bad it happened in this game when we are already in a hole

He checked his swing, tough call but you can't argue or appeal those, right?

[welch]

If Tracy is managing, can Kevin Frandsen be on the way?

Mikolas throwing meat.

Yeah, primary objective right now should be making sure this isn't a 22 run game like what happened to the Royals recently.

Just trying to eat some innings without wasting the bullpen on a likely lost game.  Assume Cornelio could come in and pitch 3 innings?

Frannie cheering for the Nats to run up the pitch-count and get into the bullpen. Harrumph! Suarez has through 53 pitches in 4 innings. Anyone expect a BoSox reliever soon?

or Vivas?

Chance to get back into the game here.

[GataNats]

Terrible

[tomwvr]

We just lost to a crappy team. When NY comes to town next week we are going to get destroyed

[tomwvr]

5th worst team in challenges in the league
Worst in errors
Worst home record tied with boston

This team may end up in last place in the east if the mets get anything going

Dang, I'm happy I missed this game lol.

[The Chief]

I blame myself.

I blame myself.

I almost started the GDT.. you beat me to it.

[JCA-CrystalCity]

eh, after the 1st inning, Mikolas gave them some length and only let up 2 more runs. Came close to coming back. One more hit  with runners on 2nd and 3rd and it gets interesting.

Crews had another nice swing but his bat broke and what should have been a single to RF scoring at least another run ended up being an easy play for the 2B. Sigh...
