CJ being asked to do Wood things at leadoff. Let's hope it doesn't mess with his approach.

Somehow, that 3-4-5 looks a lot less intimidating than a week ago.
Remove Garcia, Wood, and Mead from MLB's best offense can change things in terms of run scoring.

No Pinckney? He better get an AB

I would post a picture of a white flag but I forgot how

Vivas yet another start for zero reason

WE SCORED

Vivas! A walk is as good as a hit. Technically, not true in terms of linear weights, but cliches are great for message board GDTs

Arraez is having fun in Philly

Squab · « **Reply #8 on:** August 05, 2026, 07:38:38 pm »

didn’t realize Painter was struggling so much after he was good against us in his debut

seems like his breaking stuff isn’t playing and he doesn’t have a changeup really

Keibert, what the everloving freak were you doing

Slateman · « **Reply #10 on:** August 05, 2026, 07:40:36 pm »

freaking noodle arm

Crews if you aren't going to give a crap, you're basically worthless

I'll take it. 74 mph EV but good launch angle

looks like he didn’t throw it at all and now after a minors stint he’s throwing it more. only 6mph separation but it looks like it’s moving and missing bats

Tena, Nuñez and Vivas is like a weary boxer taking a round off

IdahoNat · « **Reply #15 on:** August 05, 2026, 08:09:38 pm »

Nationals vs. Phillies? More like CJ Abrams and everyone else vs. the Phillies

Irvin making a good audition to be the No.5 guy next year.

This game feels hopeless. The team has just lost their mojo

That tends to happen when you lose 3 great hitters from your everyday lineup

They’ve waved the white flag. Can’t blame them with the way the owners run the franchise

And suddenly Turner is a gold glove shortstop

GataNats · « **Reply #21 on:** August 05, 2026, 08:35:55 pm »

Sick of Ruiz and his one pitch flares. Play Ford

great outing for Irvin, let’s see what Dion’s got!

If this guy gives up a single earned run, I will gloat about it being a bad trade.
