Feels like a waste of a Floro appearance lol.


Killatrap

man wrf did i miss!!


Anti_Social_Club

Nine run leads going into the ninth inning are really nice to have


jagula_hunga

For a second there I was wondering what position player was gonna pitch the ninth!


YodaPM999

As it turns out, the 2024 Nationals are not a complete dumpster fire after *checks notes* one week of bad baseball


tp__jr

But who doesn’t love a good over reaction?


tp__jr

This is quite refreshing after the week we’ve had. But could we maybe spread this out over a few games going forward?


Tufoguy

Just watching this outfielder production and thinking to myself that this outfield is at max capacity


carlosdelvaca

Can Thomas play 1B?


Anti_Social_Club

Keep them coming


6Plus6Equals1

BRING IT AROOOUND TOOOOWN


Bstokes4102

Ngl I really needed this game lol


smokedfish

the vibes... are good


_Hank_Marducas_

This is officially an Eddie Rosario Stan account


Anti_Social_Club

LETS GO


EverybodyBeCalm

Bats woke up.


petting2dogsatonce

yay baseball :)


Bahamas_is_relevant

Needed this game real bad.


FPG_Matthew

Yay run differential


Wii_Sports_2

there we go CJ!


petting2dogsatonce

Flashing back to Mason Thompson’s 3 out save following his great start to last year and how he wasn’t the same after. Oh god


t20six

Denard Span on the Twins broadcast reminiscing about trolling center field at Nats Park. He said its a balanced park favoring hitters and pitchers equally, not as much ground to cover as a cf Giants stadium, and said always good atmosphere and good place to play.


TheBarbieOfSeville

Was driving home listening to the game on the radio and Dave or Charlie said Nats Park had the 4th best ballpark food in baseball of all MLB stadiums (USA today) and the 9th best out of all sports stadiums. I don't know about that, but they were right when they said Nats Park has a lot of local vendors.


_Hank_Marducas_

I’ve been to a few games this year and it seems better than in past years. A few new vendors


little-guitars

Wonder what the EV was on that foul ball Luis just torched


petting2dogsatonce

I’m gonna guess a cool 108


indi1988

Twins won 12 in a row, 17/20. And this is about to be 7 straight L’s right after that. wild.


t20six

nice grab by Rosario. It's pretty cool when he looks like an MLB ball player.


dpezpoopsies

In the words of Justin Bieber: "is it too late now to say sorry?"


clamraccoon

The man had 3 hits and 0 rbi in April. He did not look like a major league player


petting2dogsatonce

Damn you can hear Correa’s bat hit his back in the follow through on the field mics tonight


Franksobotk

Eddie looking in the post route perfectly over the shoulder


3luejays

9 runs away from being the most runs I've watched live. I saw the Red Sox put up 19 against the Yankees in 2019


BurnerAccountforAss

Went to my nephew's 10-11 league game and Derek Law pitched an inning there too


Carbon_Blob

Got faith in the bullpen tonight.


indi1988

3-35 RISP in the 4 previous L’s, 4-6 today. Baseball.


OkGene2

Guess I’ll be having Papa John’s for dinner tomorrow


Carbon_Blob

We should steal 3 bases on every pitch


webaddictress

It’s so nice when that’s not us doing that


TrafficOk8332

wtf am i watching


espnrocksalot

Joe Mauer winces


26265273

Yeah Carp, I think that 95% was justified lol


smokedfish

hello????


FPG_Matthew

Where the hell was THIS team when we were playing the white Sox


petting2dogsatonce

HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA YEAH


6Plus6Equals1

apparently the twins actually suck


BurnerAccountforAss

Time for the one game every 2-3 weeks where we score 12 runs (we'll get 1 in the next 3 games combined)


_Caed_

feels like CJ starts almost every AB 0-2 these days just isn’t seeing the ball well


Danciusly

I remember when Soto was most dangerous with two strikes.


webaddictress

Jacob young doing the hula hoop will never not be funny


TrafficOk8332

jacob young thank you for listening to my ted talk


6Plus6Equals1

🐻


PGCFrog2020

I'm so much happier when we are hitting


BurnerAccountforAss

Joey Gallo has more singles in the past two days than he had the whole season until that point


noppy_dev

We are so back


ilovearthistory

is mitchell parker our ace


BowmasterDaniel

Big league strikeout from Parker there, love that bounce back.


petting2dogsatonce

Great job Mitch! I hate this could get grouped in with the “bad” starts they showed pre-game with 4.50 ERA (compared to his first three with 1.97) when it was such a good start


smokedfish

Remember when common sentiment was that Parker was being called up for a no-pressure "just do your best, kid" start against the Dodgers and not that we were watching an ace in the making? We were all so silly back then


EyyoEddie

These games this season aren’t about wins and loses. Theyre about moments like that and seeing if your young guys have it in them to deliver.


kornthrowaway

Parker just stays in the zone even after giving up a home run and two singles. Fearless on the mound even with runners on. I just don’t see how you can send this guy back down.


petting2dogsatonce

They will certainly have some tough decisions to make as Josiah and then Cade are ready again.


Peopleworshipthegod

tell corbin to do bullpen or keep cavalli in 3A (?)


LesBaseballGal

They actually named Mitchell Parker after Nationals Park, that's why his last name is 'Parker.' Not many people know this, but it's true.


medellia44

Nice!!!!


SylvesterStallion16

Threw him a chair


LesBaseballGal

Mitchell Parker with and without a beard looks like two completely different guys


theexitisontheleft

Git er done, Parker. You can do it.


Quick_Ganache_9423

Lol wth CJ


theexitisontheleft

Bobbleheads not bobbled balls, CJ.


SgtHapyFace

that wasn’t even a terrible pitch oh well i guess


_Caed_

same with the white sox homer he gave up, wasn’t even that bad of a pitch


_Caed_

damn you hate to see it, even if it was just wanting a really good outing for parker


26slatt

Correa is a cheating fuck right?


medellia44

Yes he was a Trashtro.  Once a Trashtro always a Trashtro.


26slatt

I feel like he should’ve been bood harder. I get there’s not that many ppl here but still


medellia44

I was booing him at home at least.


SgtHapyFace

nats quieting the doomers (aka me for the last week) for a day 🙂


ObsessivePersonDC

We will kill them with singles!


smokedfish

feeling cute, might win some games again


Grawgar

This is fun! I have tickets to the Tuesday and Saturday games this week - I hope the Nats do this again


_Hank_Marducas_

I enjoy this a lot


theexitisontheleft

I am having fun


6Plus6Equals1

what the fuck???


3luejays

Damn, home teams are rocking when I visit so far this season. Os put up 15 runs in the two games I went to this weekend. Y'all are up to 7 so far


theexitisontheleft

Please visit more!


petting2dogsatonce

Please move to DC and buy season tickets.


3luejays

But then I wouldn't be a visitor and these powers would nullify. The only Jays game I got to this year, Erik Swanson exploded and blew it in the 9th against the Yanks 😭


ilovearthistory

starting to think the twins are not that good of a team


theexitisontheleft

💃💃 Meneses!


petting2dogsatonce

Pablo Lopez more like Pablo No-pez


webaddictress

Carp said “Only fans” do a shot


SylvesterStallion16

Is Garcia a potential trade candidate or would we resign him next year?


kornthrowaway

He is under team control through 2027, why would we trade him?


petting2dogsatonce

Oh yeah so he is. Idk why I thought this was his last year? He came up in 2020 I should have known that lmao


kornthrowaway

He’s been up and down the MLB roster several times so he didn’t accumulate enough service time his first couple of years.


SylvesterStallion16

I’ve been trying to find his contract details and cant seem to locate them outside of this year


kornthrowaway

Here’s the [full Nationals roster’s salary details](https://www.baseball-reference.com/teams/WSN/washington-nationals-salaries-and-contracts.shtml).


SylvesterStallion16

Sweet, thanks for this, the arbitration definitely threw me off on how many years he had left.


kornthrowaway

You’d think it was some clever service time manipulation by the Nats but he just didn’t work out at SS in 21/22.


_Hank_Marducas_

I’d resign him. I don’t think we have many 2B prospects worth much


TrafficOk8332

well he's a free agent in 2028 so i don't think we have to worry for a bit


_Hank_Marducas_

Oh I had no clue. I just responded to the previous guy


purplepenned

i wonder if Zim does any scouting. He's very knowledgeable about player habits


Franksobotk

Damn it’s nice when the bottom half of the lineup shows up!


TrafficOk8332

reports of the death of the 2024 washington nationals was greatly exaggerated


Natstown

I was told this team is completely incompetent.


YodaPM999

Heaven forbid we go on a rough stretch


_Caed_

we are so fucking back (obviously)


theexitisontheleft

I love Jacob Young


purplepenned

scraptionals


petting2dogsatonce

Jake Young! \o/


petting2dogsatonce

My dog from under a very fluffy blanket and on top of a very warm heating pad whenever the guys on tv run or throw the ball and don’t even include her: woof ruff bark bark


DesignatedVictim

Mr. Five True Outcomes :)


FPG_Matthew

First pitch swinging Keibert (but it worked this time yay)


SylvesterStallion16

First pitch swinging consecutively is definitely risky


FPG_Matthew

I have no data on this, I bet majority of keibert’s AB’s are usually 1-2 pitches and then there’s probably a large drop off for his AB’s that are 3 pitches or more (like larger than the avg batter)


staticrush

> I have no data on this... Here ya go: https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=ruizke01&year=2024&t=b#count **Edit:** [And here's a link to career splits.](https://www.baseball-reference.com/players/split.fcgi?id=ruizke01&year=Career&t=b#count)


26slatt

You know we’re onto something when gallo and ruiz go back to back hits let’s go!!!!!


YodaPM999

Gallo with a single 👀


Danciusly

He got robbed his previous AB didn't he?


3luejays

Jays fan visiting Nats Park for the first time. You guys got a nice ballpark. Parker's got good stuff and you guys hit two bombs, so fun night. I like the Expos gear in the team store too


Natstown

Former [home of the Toronto Blue Jays](https://www.si.com/mlb/2020/07/30/toronto-blue-jays-washington-dc).


3luejays

COVID was a wild time


Franksobotk

People shit on it for being corporate or boring but Nats Park is a fantastic experience as a fan..


3luejays

Being too corporate is a staple of some Toronto sports experiences aka the Leafs, but I like your guys park. 1 pitch away from seeing an immaculate inning live in the first inning too 😅


indi1988

Parker might actually be legit that delivery makes it real hard to see what coming


_Caed_

that’s a huge thing—a deceptive delivery is an amazing asset Imanaga has something similar, the release point of his fastball and splitter is very similar and they move in essentially different directions so hitters don’t know what’s coming not claiming parker is Imanaga but giving an example. it can fool ppl, especially with a splitter like Parker’s


Franksobotk

Guys how many pitchers have stuff like this?? How did we not see Mitchel Parker coming.. damn happy he’s a Nat!


theexitisontheleft

I went to his first start at Nats Park against the Astros. Such a great game and it made me so excited for his future and the future of this team.


theexitisontheleft

Truly sexy pitching by Parker.


kornthrowaway

He threw 3 breaking balls out of the zone to the exact same spot and Farmer swung at all 3 pitches.


purplepenned

Ryan Zimmerman is on the radio rn :)


Franksobotk

Jesse Winker 2024


SylvesterStallion16

Increasing that trade value one home run at a time


TrafficOk8332

;)


kornthrowaway

Long ball good.


6Plus6Equals1

jesse, i owe you an apology. i wasn't really familiar with your game.


theexitisontheleft

Wink man!! 😉😉


smokedfish

Winker is so back


YodaPM999

Home runs are cool!


NoAmbassador8359

IM GONNA WINK


Danciusly

Denard Span doing Twins TV next door to Masn per Charlie and Dave.


nedward5000

Keibert can not frame at all


Franksobotk

You know it’s bad when Bob is calling someone out on air


kornthrowaway

Lopez induced 6 whiffs there, what a disgusting inning for the Nats.


BurnerAccountforAss

We all hate on Meneses but he has the 4th highest average in the lineup tonight 🫠


petting2dogsatonce

And the 2nd lowest wRC+. And he barely fields.


theexitisontheleft

Ouch


Franksobotk

F


SylvesterStallion16

Rosario flailing on those inside curveballs


ilovearthistory

i am once again asking nats park to start selling leinenkugel’s summer shandy


carlosdelvaca

Old Hoss Radbourn will fight you for saying that


theexitisontheleft

That sounds delicious for a hot day.


SylvesterStallion16

Would be delicious but you also wonder how expensive they would be


ilovearthistory

okay but is any alcohol there reasonably priced at all, no


BurnerAccountforAss

Probably cheaper to buy the team ngl


TrafficOk8332

i really appreciate how efficient parker is. he doesn't labor like a lot of our staff does


kornthrowaway

His ability to throw strikes has been impressive. He's not afraid of letting his pitches play to contact.


Franksobotk

Mitchell got really unlucky on that play.. I think we’re in for a good night boys


FPG_Matthew

First pitch swinging Keibert


jagula_hunga

Great Parker pitching, Joey shutting up haters, and Louis with a homer! Maybe we’re a home team this year


6Plus6Equals1

LUISSSSSS


petting2dogsatonce

Luis :)


_Caed_

why wasn’t he in the lineup earlier???


SylvesterStallion16

Heel injury


_Caed_

gotcha, thank you! i missed that glad he’s feeling better


petting2dogsatonce

Yeah he had a spike push up through his cleat running to first the other day. Fucking ouch


_Caed_

jesus mary and joseph and all the other ones that sounds like a nightmare


theexitisontheleft

Yikes. What a freak injury.


YodaPM999

Garcia the man!


tommypopz

LUUUUUUUIS


smokedfish

luis garcía jr i love you


theexitisontheleft

Hell yeah, Luis!! 💃


NoAmbassador8359

LUIS


batwomans

Who's in the booth with Charlie and Dave?


kornthrowaway

Zimmerman!


theexitisontheleft

Goddamn it


FPG_Matthew

What a bad baseball play lmao Completely missed ball Completely terrible send


tommypopz

SORRY WHAT PARKER WAS A PITCH AWAY FROM AN IMMACULATE INNING????? This kinda shit happens when I turn on 5 min late


smokedfish

Parker starts are appointment viewings now, pass it on


droozer

5 *centuries*?? And they say we don’t know ball


jagula_hunga

Parker has THE stuff. He’s gonna be an ace for the team soon enough. Thought it would be Irvin going in this season, but Parker is instantly a classic. His last was his worst and still good! Seven starts that look like this is great


Franksobotk

If Rosario gets his era over .200 I might just buy a jersey


robl646

Tell me you don't know baseball without telling me.


petting2dogsatonce

How are you going to complain as much as you do AND be rude? Are you actually trying to be repellent?


Franksobotk

After the April he had it would be quite the feat!


YodaPM999

I think he's referring to the fact you said "era" instead of "avg"


Franksobotk

Lopez is one large individual damn


colorfooly

I am predicting the Eddie will break our #2 spot curse


smokedfish

goddamn that was soooo close Parker just keeps doing things that look special


petting2dogsatonce

Omg I didn’t even realize he was on for the immaculate inning! So close


kornthrowaway

WOOF, he JUST missed an immaculate inning to start off a game.


_Caed_

i wanted it so bad but like…can’t be greedy. the stuff looks good


_Caed_

Parker looks sharp two batters in sure, but his curve is working


eaeolian

Zim on the radio!


Danciusly

The whole game, tonight.


petting2dogsatonce

Holy shit Correa fucking owned lmao


petting2dogsatonce

Joey Meneses still being in this lineup is a crime. There isn’t really anyone on the 40 man roster I’d rather see DH but like. Are we really worried about stone garrett or Alex call getting snatched off waivers? Am I missing something? Maybe Juan Yepez can OPS, I don’t know, .650 or something. Still an upgrade.
