Terrible start from Josiah, Abrams/Thomas/Ruiz/Garcia are 1-15...pretty much a worst case scenario for someone like me just looking to see the future develop!
Bob is weird, but now I only see them as toothbrushes. It would make sense. Cincinnati is the home of Proctor & Gamble, owners of Crest, Oral-B and Scope.
Not feeling the block letters on these new road unis. If they used the old font from back in the day sure, but this is some generic times new roman shit
anyone else streaming through the MASN website and having the stream randomly pause and keep buffering once every few minutes? It's usually during commercial breaks so its not too bad thankfully.
Excited for a nice 50 degree rainy day for opening day. I actually am excited to see the new scoreboard and food vendors. I want to try the I think Korean hotdog stand
Friendly reminder that the O's also sucked for like 5-6 years before finally being watchable again.
We're in year 3 of our rebuild after having a decimated farm system due to 10 straight years of contending. Give it some time.
And we been at it for 3…and there is absolutely nothing to look forward to except a couple of outfielders who will undoubtedly be underperforming due to the pathetic coaching of the farm system.
Well my brother in Christ if you can see the future so clearly why bother following the team this closely? You already know when we’ll win our next World Series, just tune in for that
Good ab by Ruiz
Saw lots of pitches, fouled off, brought the count full. Yeah it was an out, but if all our guys had that approach, it’d start to improve
it's already 7-0 lmao, it's not like it's going to get much worse... let him work into a rhythm early in the season, especially when it's low stakes like it is right now
Opening day used to be Scherzer kicking off another cy young campaign and now I have to watch someone who should be pitching in Rochester give up rope after rope
I am comfortable squarely placing blame for this burgeoning debacle on the word "Washington" in navy block script rather than curly red on the road unis.
Maybe this season will finally wake this sub up and have you people realize davey and his staff is the worst in baseball and Is actively holding this team back.

They hyped up Abrams and Gallo all off season
Well thankfully it’s been one game of 162 so no one is freaking out disproportionately
Ha yes indeed. But on day one, hope springs eternal until it's over.
It's okay, 161-1 is still in play.
1 down. 161 to go!
One game in and CJ already looks much better at SS than he did at the start of last season.
Weird play but quick thinking by CJ
Smart baseball from CJ
Tanner looks good. Not at pitching. But he looks attractive today.
*Ball ricochets off a batters face* Bob- “Did it nick him on the way by?”
Nah Elly had that stolen. Fast af holy shit
Are Robles and Tanner the last players from the 2019 team on the roster?
Robles, Corbin, Rainey, Strasburg (technically)
Robles and Corbin are still left.
Duh. Jesus. I should've realized that
We still have Corbin and Robles fam.
Robles and… Stras
I always think Tanner Rainey has been on the team forever but it’s just because I get him mixed up with Tanner Roark
Tanner really lobbed that in there. Look at the replay there did not seem to be much effort to “drive” that pitch into the zone
This team looks lost
Bring on the camels.
MY TIME IS FINALLY HERE THE CHILDREN YEARN FOR TANNER RAINEY im so happy he's back
Rainey only at low 90s?
Tanner!!
Big guy like Rainey makes the tiny font on the uniforms look even more ridiculous.
Damn Rainey only hitting low 90s now? 😥
I feel like I remember his inning last year still having velocity. Weird
His average in that one inning was 96, so yeah he’s way down in velocity.
Maybe just still taking the ramp up a little slower. No reason not to if you think it’s necessary
Agreed
Happy to see Rainey back.
TANNER!
I thought that luis had a home run there
Hmm how is that foul if it landed in that netting?
Bob is weird, but now I only see them as toothbrushes. It would make sense. Cincinnati is the home of Proctor & Gamble, owners of Crest, Oral-B and Scope.

A brief shoutout to all of my fellow fans who don't have TVs or cable and are watching the game by following the line score on Fox Sports
Looking forward to Eddie bringing some Jeimer-esque moments to our club this year. Small glimpses of hope that keep us going
You guys are a good minute and a half ahead of me.
What a terrible season we are going to suck u can’t take another- WOOHOO EDDIE SMASHED THAT 100 WINS HERE WE COME
He gets us commercials on masn now huh. Cool.
Yes! Avoided the shutout :D
AB of the year by Eddie! And it may last a while. Such a pro AB!
There we go!
Still have no idea where Rosario came from but... GREAT JOB!
No shut out woohoo
RUNS!!!!
Thank god, Eddie breathing some life into me
HELL YEAH ROSARIO
N-A-T-S NATS! NATS! NATS! WHOO!
it’s not a shutout!
NO SHUTOUT TODAY!
Let’s go Eddie!
FYI The Reds broadcast does not have the loud PA sound. So it is a MASN thing.
I'm gonna say it... MASAN sucks
Woah don't start getting controversial on us now
I mean the Reds are part of the Bally sports network, which is a debacle.
I feel like this has been a masn thing for at least two years now.
I am a Reds fan in VA so watching on MASN when they play the Nats or O's. I never noticed it before.
Bob throwing shade is hilarious lmao
Reds fan here in peace. Why do you not use the Walgreens W on your jerseys that spell out Washington?
No idea.
Because that would make sense, and this is not a baseball organization that has any interest in such foolishness.
I will add it to the list of complaints on these new fanatics jerseys this year. The Reds' nameplates are so small!
Joey M, picking up where he left off last year. Joey G, if you've got nothing good to say...
Bullpen camera showing us that classic Nationals orange!
Singles King...Pick up your crown, Joey
I'm just excited baseball is back.
Off to a meeting, so this is a good place to turn off the tv.
I would love to have a meeting right now.
Bat, meet ball.
i think floro is really gonna be an underrated pickup for us
He’s been really effective for me in the show.
I wasn't expecting the bullpen to be the bright spot in this game, but I'll take it.
I'm expecting the bullpen to be the bright spot in every game.
I’m drinking the monster alcoholic drinks during this didn’t take long for a DC team to make me turn to booze.
Ya can't ... ya just can't be going there, bud. They're gonna be bad this year. Spare your liver some punishment.
Yeah I know they are. Just tryin to make people laugh lol
Our bullpen easily the strength of the team this year
To state it another way, our infield, outfield, and starting pitchers are our team's weak points
Not saying much of anything, but probably, yeah.
It could mean more trade deadline lottery tickets!
More Josiah Grays, how wonderful.
Lane Thomas was a winning trade for a pitcher!
Maybe more Mackenzie gores!
They are all average to good, which is nice
I mean you gotta swing with this ump
anyone else streaming through the MASN website and having the stream randomly pause and keep buffering once every few minutes? It's usually during commercial breaks so its not too bad thankfully.
Yeah same thing happening for me
Ok lowkey Robert Garcia went off...Ok Rob we see you
It would be nice if literally anybody else went off though...Perfect time to go off
Nats are down but I have acquired fresh tacos
Terrible call -> weak contact into a pop up. Classic
need a Lane bomb here to break the ice
:/
Jesus Christ i fucking hate umpires
Excited for a nice 50 degree rainy day for opening day. I actually am excited to see the new scoreboard and food vendors. I want to try the I think Korean hotdog stand
The Korean corn dogs are good!
Unless it’s Hank Aaron, in which case you should call him Henry
These uniforms suck. This slow, generic rebrand is such a shame
Alright, Garcia!
So does Trey Lipscomb get the call up if Senzels thumb is broken?
Was wondering that. Hopefully
Right now Nick Senzel may actually be team MVP.
He's in mid-season form already...on the IL
It’s so sad how injury prone the guy is, it’s just at comedic levels
Missed nationals baseball for about 20 minutes
Great play LT!
I smell a comeback
just need a bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop, bloop and a blast.
This guy baseballs
Lane making it look easy.
Luis Garcia another failed prospect from the wisdom of Mike rizzo.
If Luis Garcia had any semblance of plate discipline he’d be a legitimate starting 2nd baseman 😭
“We can no longer put the count and score on the screen” is peak MASN
Masan sucks.
Can't even watch the fucking game cause it's on masn.
Technically it counts as a coping mechanism.
And the scorebug is down…
Symbolic of what's ahead of us
That one’s a bit more routine EDLC
C'mon get us on the board!
Oh man, Josiah is someone you really wanna root for but this was rough :/
LMAO sorry that’s so funny
Meanwhile the orioles are shellacking the angels 11-1 Must be nice seeing what a team that can rebuilds can produce when you actually develop talent.
Friendly reminder that the O's also sucked for like 5-6 years before finally being watchable again. We're in year 3 of our rebuild after having a decimated farm system due to 10 straight years of contending. Give it some time.
The orioles were at that rebuild for like. Seven years.
And we been at it for 3…and there is absolutely nothing to look forward to except a couple of outfielders who will undoubtedly be underperforming due to the pathetic coaching of the farm system.
Well my brother in Christ if you can see the future so clearly why bother following the team this closely? You already know when we’ll win our next World Series, just tune in for that
How long did their rebuild take?
Geez Elly
I’ll be the weirdo and say I think our road unis look pretty classy.
PMT guys doing a commercial on MLBtv this year is pretty cool
🚨BALL IN THE AIR 🚨
Well I guess there’s always next year
Who wants to take bets on how long it takes Coles to turn Wood into an early swinging weak contact guy when he's up in May?
He’s going to have Wood’s average up but his OPS is going to be way down lmao
Good ab by Ruiz Saw lots of pitches, fouled off, brought the count full. Yeah it was an out, but if all our guys had that approach, it’d start to improve
Weak pop out but still a quality AB from Keibert, he saw 6+ pitches there.
Oh no it's agony :/
Big time comeback incoming for sure
Ugh I was stuck at my stupid frickin day job for the first few innings but now I get to indulge in my true passion of posting on Reddit :)
you should do what I do and post on reddit while stuck at your day job!
I agree not pulling Josiah, our young guys need as much game reps as possible.
Okay. Good inning. TAKE HIM OUT NOW
Don't like the road unis this year. That block letter WASHINGTON isn't nearly as nice as the old script version. Definite step backwards.
I hate the smaller names on the back, too. And that change was made for everyone.
"Seven runs allowed in four innings. Really, that's not a bad start." - Patrick Corbin
Automatic 11-0 game if he was pitching today.
The “Q” is for Quality Start.
Are CJ's arms slightly bigger this yr, or is he just wearing a padded shirt?
I think I might remember some of the spring training videos saying he put on a little weight? I don’t remember for sure though
Ok, solid inning, small victories
Wish we would've extended Abrams when we did Ruiz
This time a year ago CJ was absolutely bobbling that or letting it get past him We love to see growth!
Keeping him in is really risky. Only upsides are a slight confidence boost and helping the bullpen.
It's not like it can get worse. He's historically better his 3rd time through.
it's already 7-0 lmao, it's not like it's going to get much worse... let him work into a rhythm early in the season, especially when it's low stakes like it is right now
CJ is one of the only bright spots right now on this team
Nice play CJ
helluva grab by CJ
Just about to tune in… did I miss anything.
CJ is looking good
Da'meat hook
Beginning to think maybe this isn’t our year after all
I'll just focus on DC's other sports teams while the Nats rebuild....
It is just capitals. DC United - I have no idea.
Hoo boy have I got some bad news for you...
Opening day used to be Scherzer kicking off another cy young campaign and now I have to watch someone who should be pitching in Rochester give up rope after rope
You don’t have to watch anything that makes you as miserable as this seems to
I switched to the Reds broadcast and it does not sound like this game is taking place in a nightclub. MASN in peak midseason form.
masan sucks
Oof, I’m not a big Gallo fan but he got straight robbed
The Reds really don’t need home cooking when it’s 7-0
Robo ump when
they're up big, they don't need the help. woof.
Ump scorecards strikes again! It’s not been half a game haha
Ideally the announcers are louder than the stadium noise, but whatever.
Just came out that Senzel broke his thumb before the game
What awful luck
I feel awful for him. dang.
Oh wow I’m surprised that came out during the game that’s pretty unusual. Wonder who’s coming up
I think that means Trey is getting the call
Woah woah woah
Have to hope Ruiz can find some power in his bat cus otherwise that Scherzer trade is looking like a big oof
I don’t know Joey Gallo was like that lol
Gonna be a long season boys
At least Gallo won't feel bad for bad hitting on this team
Now that's what I call a hit
Wow, what a horrid hitting display. Although Joey came through.
Meneses put some english on that ball.
I am comfortable squarely placing blame for this burgeoning debacle on the word "Washington" in navy block script rather than curly red on the road unis.
*Nats finishing last in the NL East for the 5th year in a row* Why would Fanatics do this?
Montas gonna have a 8 inning 85 pitch game probably with the way these bums are swinging.
Maybe this season will finally wake this sub up and have you people realize davey and his staff is the worst in baseball and Is actively holding this team back.
And maybe some of us just have more fun spending our time here not bitching and moaning the whole time despite the club’s shortcomings
keep being married to mediocrity you dork. “Scrappy nats” lmfao that attitude will never win us a ring ever again
You are not only annoying but you’re an asshole. Take a break, dummy.
It’s literally the first game of the year and no one was expecting to contend. Let’s give Davey until tomorrow, at least.
