CJ DH'ng tonight, likely to start at 2nd tomorrow per Zuck

Ford starting vs righty

Squab · « **Reply #3 on:** August 18, 2026, 07:26:21 pm »

will be interesting to see if Kent can settle down in his 2nd start and throw strikes like does.

Low key like the lineup. Vivas is decent, defensively, at 2B. House has looked more like what we drafted. And Nasim should shine as a defensive specialist.

Slateman · « **Reply #5 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:16:59 pm »

Quantrill definitely skips leg day

GataNats · « **Reply #6 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:19:43 pm »

Some good defensive plays by Texas

Slateman · « **Reply #7 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:21:21 pm »

Langford is better

GataNats · « **Reply #8 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:21:22 pm »

Vivas zero range

GataNats · « **Reply #9 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:22:16 pm »

Nunez has him easily if he goes home

Slateman · « **Reply #10 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:22:21 pm »

Throw strikes

Nunez has him easily if he goes home

Nasim throws that away if he goes home. Off balance and moving laterally.

Really hate watching Vivas play. Hits nothing hard

Slateman · « **Reply #13 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:38:18 pm »

Remember, solo homers cant hurt you

GataNats · « **Reply #14 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:47:14 pm »

Hitting nothing hard

GataNats · « **Reply #15 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:53:08 pm »

Lazy play Crews

Slateman · « **Reply #16 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:54:54 pm »

Huh, your 2023 MLB first-round draft pick getting a base hit? Unheard of in this economy

spidernat · « **Reply #17 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:57:55 pm »

Looks out but no way they change this

Slateman · « **Reply #18 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:57:59 pm »

No reason to go home there

Smithian · « **Reply #19 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:58:11 pm »

I think he was out from the angle facing down 3B line

Smithian · « **Reply #20 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:59:04 pm »

Good challenge. Bad call.

Slateman · « **Reply #21 on:** August 18, 2026, 08:59:04 pm »

Throw on the wrong side and Ford didnt block the plate

welch · « **Reply #22 on:** August 18, 2026, 09:00:17 pm »

Nats play like they are dead.

spidernat · « **Reply #23 on:** August 18, 2026, 09:01:27 pm »

Jackson Can’t

Their front office gave up in July
