Imagine this guy coming out of the bullpen all year why we keep running Littell and Mikolas out there? Malpractice

Did anyone see Alvarez playing like this? I didn't

Big break there. Should have been a DP

Pathetic. Zero reason to have this lineup configuration

And Tena?

Was it last season, or the year before, when the Nats were desperate for RH position players? Now so few lefties that they are forced to carry Tena, and even to put him in the field?

I really don’t mind Tena as a bench utility player. We’ve messed up if he is DH or full time platoon starter, but he’s fine if being asked to come off bench with occasional matchup starts.

It’s rare that he has a bad start going back to last season.

I may not see a Gio Gonzalez comp but this was an outstanding outing

GataNats · « **Reply #34 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:48:52 pm »

Absolutely no reason to take him out here

imref · « **Reply #35 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:49:03 pm »

Good job Nunez with the backup.

the past couple of innings he's been giving up big flies. Only one went out, but still he was on the edge

GataNats · « **Reply #37 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:51:31 pm »

Why in the world do you pull him for this guy?

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #38 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:51:39 pm »

Oh, I think Bird is a stiff

spidernat · « **Reply #39 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:51:48 pm »

That was nearly another passed ball K 1-3.

We had one of those early this season

GataNats · « **Reply #40 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:53:31 pm »

Absolutely idiotic decision. Bird is an absolute bum

Squab · « **Reply #41 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:53:43 pm »

sigh

imref · « **Reply #42 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:54:17 pm »

Nunez should have had that.

OfftheBat · « **Reply #43 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:54:43 pm »

Thanks for dumping your garbage on us, Yankees:(

Slateman · « **Reply #44 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:56:10 pm »

Can we please get rid of Bird?

GataNats · « **Reply #45 on:** August 14, 2026, 08:56:28 pm »

Alvarez absolutely rolling except one hickup, his first home run giving up in 58 IP.

Smithian · « **Reply #46 on:** August 14, 2026, 09:02:01 pm »

I think Mets dugout wasn’t arguing as much as asking if he is okay and home plate up does look shaken.

SkinsNatFan21RIP · « **Reply #47 on:** August 14, 2026, 09:07:23 pm »

So this is why they wanted us to take Bird lol

aspenbubba · « **Reply #48 on:** August 14, 2026, 09:07:45 pm »

Give Bird the bird and DFA his sorry ass. Butera pulled Alvarez too soon.

Smithian · « **Reply #49 on:** August 14, 2026, 09:12:38 pm »

Asking to bring the Apple down and then a wild pitch going through a batter’s legs

This game has gotten miserable but that is two things this inning I don’t think I’ve seen
