Starting time 1:20pm, Patterson vs Lidle

If ever we needed a strong outing from a starting pitcher, today is the day. That ballpark is torture on pitchers, but hopefully Patterson can hold it down.

Ryan Zimmerman · « **Reply #2:** July 09, 2005, 10:58:58 AM »

The game will be on fox nO???

I'm sure Baerga will be in the lineup but I really want to see OUR REAL lineup...it's a pain seeing Baerga and Cepicky play so often EVEN THOUGH THEY DID MORE THEN WELL YESTERDAY.

The Chief · « **Reply #3:** July 09, 2005, 11:00:10 AM »

Unless the game is on WDCA-11, I wouldn't count on seeing it. Usually Fox, ESPN2, etc. get blacked out at the last second. I'll keep my fingers crossed, though.

WDCA -11? You mean WDCA - 20?

The game is supposed to be on Fox 5 in the DC area today, BTW, per the promo during last night's game.

The Chief · « **Reply #5:** July 09, 2005, 11:07:14 AM »

It's 11 where I am, but yeah, you get the idea. UPN. If it's on Fox then that's great, I'll happily eat my words :mrgreen:

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

The Nationals look to win their second straight game as they take on the Phillies at Citizens Bank Park on Saturday afternoon.

Nationals right-hander John Patterson will face the Phillies for the second time this season. The last time he faced them, on April 26 in Washington, he pitched 6 2/3 innings and gave up just one run on six hits. He struck out six and walked four. In total, Patterson threw 113 pitches, 67 of them for strikes. The Nationals won the game, 3-1.

In his last start, Patterson was solid for six-plus innings, giving up two runs on four hits against the Mets. He struck out seven, walked two and threw 116 pitches, 74 for strikes. He didn't figure in the decision as the Nationals lost to the Mets, 5-2.

On Friday night, the Nationals nearly let two five-run leads slip away, but edged the Phillies, 8-7, in front of 44,688.

The games really don't get blacked out at the last minute. What happens is that your local paper prints a tv schedule not taking into consideration the blackout rules imposed by various contracts with various people. Usually happens with ESPN and not 20.

Boy was I pissed when the 3rd Anaheim game was supposed to be on ESPN2 and then, of course, wasn't :x

Montcobaseball · « **Reply #10:** July 09, 2005, 01:14:38 PM »

Yeah and there was a Friday night game like that early in the season.

But back to the important things. This is a very big game. Two wins in a row, no matter what happens tomorrow, will take this team nicely into the break.

Yes, I live in Valleyfield (je suis Qu?becois comme toi, mais un Qu?becois anglophone) and on Fox here they are showing the Boston/Baltimore game

so far, 0-0, bottom 3

luckyexposfan · « **Reply #13:** July 09, 2005, 02:18:07 PM »

Yep, Patterson's keeping it tight so far.

The Chief · « **Reply #14:** July 09, 2005, 02:32:55 PM »

Another good inning for Patterson.

Jerspos · « **Reply #15:** July 09, 2005, 02:51:44 PM »

Jerspos · « **Reply #16:** July 09, 2005, 02:53:20 PM »

big inning coming up both teams have tthe top of the order due up I think some runs will be scored this inning hopefully by the Nats

Jerspos · « **Reply #17:** July 09, 2005, 02:56:17 PM »

let's go

dotsandloops · « **Reply #18:** July 09, 2005, 03:03:02 PM »

This broadcast strikes me as very pro-Nats... are there different feeds for the Washington and Philadelphia markets? I'd be annoyed if I were a Phillies fan, and I'd hate for this team to be annoying, that's all (unless through winning).

The Chief · « **Reply #19:** July 09, 2005, 03:05:24 PM »

Actually with MLB audio I'm having a hard time finding the Nats feed. I keep getting the Phils commentators. I know there's a way to choose, but I can't remember where I found it before.

All you have to do is click the link at the top of the mlb.tv page and choose gameday audio and it gives you the choice of home team or away team for radio.

Can we score a run for Patterson? Please.

No kidding! Thanks for the tip about MLB.

Looks like walking abreu was a good move.

Patterson missed doing a BUNT!

That's just a PAIN in the A$$! Bennett would have been to second and we'd have a runner in scoring position! ARGH!
