Peterson often gives the Nats fits but IIRC the Nats got to him this year

Hoping for a 3rd time through the order penalty to be extracted by 1-2-3.

Of course, knock him out faster if the Nats can

Kent is a beefy looking guy.

True outcomes pitcher

I can't recall a Simon mound visit that resulted in a pitcher getting back on track

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #9 on:** August 12, 2026, 06:55:40 pm »

Settles in 94-95 on the fastball

Crazy Train remix before the Nats come up

Refreshing to have a strikeout pitcher. Needs to settle in

Squab · « **Reply #14 on:** August 12, 2026, 06:59:38 pm »

Kent threw 85 pitches last time out so that’s probably about what we can expect

GataNats · « **Reply #15 on:** August 12, 2026, 06:59:53 pm »

House stays hot. I would have tested his arm

Not all in on the Ortiz/Chapparo platoon as much as other people.

What’s your preference?

IdahoNat · « **Reply #18 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:05:34 pm »

Fastest I've ever seen Chapparo run.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #19 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:06:31 pm »

Change up is about 8-10 mph slower than the 4 seam and has big horizontal movement

spidernat · « **Reply #20 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:07:28 pm »

3 walks already

metssuck · « **Reply #21 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:08:45 pm »

Ump is stingy with the kzone

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #22 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:08:55 pm »

Fastball down to 91.

shoeshineboy · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:09:56 pm »

Serious control issues. Effectively wild only goes so far.

Squab · « **Reply #24 on:** August 12, 2026, 07:13:28 pm »

he’s having a rough time so far, 44% strikes vs his normal 63%
