Lord sure sucked today. Got 2 strikes on everyone and couldn’t put anyone away. Awful.

Why did Butera leave him in?

Only has 2 1-inning guys left in the pen, Lawrence and Beeter.

This season is over. Just sell what you can. 5 more years of rebuilding I guess. Yay!

This is exactly why I was against being buyers. This team isn't good enough and most of what we saw was just a great offensive unit carrying a terrible pitching staff. Its starting to correct itself and we're falling behind in the division race to everyone except the Mets. Sell Griffin!
If you buy a couple actual relievers, it is good enough

Because we have no pitching.  Even one backend starter and two reliable relievers has this team 10+ games over .500

Even a couple of decent relievers would push the Nats higher. Lord is being over-worked. Alvarez needs to be a long reliever again, if they can find another starter. Maybe it's time for Perales to earn his keep as a relief pitcher.

I'm tired of 5 runs not being enough for these guys

Again, stop scheduling day games.  The record is atrocious

I’m thinking that Lord should only be used for one inning as his last several appearances have blown up in the second inning he relieves.

Just about all of our Saturday games are day games as well.   Stupid scheduling
