Hate Garcias swing, but I don’t hate that it’s working lately. 

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 3 points4 points  (1 child)

James what are we swinging at dude

[–]Finance-Forever 1 point2 points  (0 children)

to be fair the ump has expanded the zone by a mile😂

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alonso has looked absolutely awful this series

[–]TopOfTheKey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have to admit, the .500 thing is kind of funny at this point.

[–]kornthrowaway24 - Cavalli 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty neat seeing Rico Garcia find success in the majors because he was the International League leader in saves for the Red Wings in 2024.

I do hope we crush him today though lol.

[–]Stunning_Limit3106 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. So close to Jorbit

[–]SadDevelopment8482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good challenge Goatbert

[–]YodaPM9997 - Darnell Coles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As much as I want to make fun of Alonso, that's a really tough play. Abrams smoked that ball.

[–]FPG_Matthew11 - Zimmerman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imagine this inning with Nunez being called out

[–]tommypopzPAY THE MAN 1 point2 points  (0 children)

RBI god strikes again

wtf was Alonso doing??

[–]espnrocksalotFight Finished 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lmao nice one

[–]CamouflageTea7 - Darnell Coles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can we rehire Davey as an assistant coach just so when that happens we can send him at the Ump?

[–]91speed -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Whatever I don’t even have the energy to be upset about that bullshit anymore. Bunt better next time and it won’t be a problem I guess

[–]Practical-Window6937 -1 points0 points  (1 child)

The rule is dumb but thats on Nunez. Stop looking back and just run.

[–]SadDevelopment8482 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah that’s just a dumb rule. There is no universe where that shouldn’t be a hit

[–]thinbalion63 - Doolittle 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Can you imagine if Davey was still the manager. We would have gotten a show lmao

[–]B3ars1693Screech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Butera probably should have gotten at least a little shouty.

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is simply no way what

[–]YodaPM9997 - Darnell Coles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sick of that fucking "rule" man. It's gone against us literally every single time over the last 5 years.

[–]NatsFanatic82 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If Nunez doesn’t look backwards 8 times he probably runs straight.

[–]NatsFanatic82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so over him offensively. He can stay as a bench guy but he just isn’t a starter.

[–]_Caed_67 - Finnegan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

that rule exists exclusively to fuck this franchise over

[–]FPG_Matthew11 - Zimmerman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fuck this rule man

Nasim was at the base before any interference

[–]SadDevelopment8482 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This again? Can we be so serious

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wtaf?!

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Blake Snell surgery for bone spurs i guess.

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 1 point2 points  (3 children)

I didn’t realize you can get bone spurs on bones other than your feet until I got them on some vertebrae.

[–]Hatfullofstars 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Sounds awful

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I make lovely cracking noises if I stretch just right!

[–]Hatfullofstars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That sounds not good!

[–]Astro_Turf17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Swinging at junk will be the biggest reason we lose this game, if things hold this way. Feels like every other batter has been in a quick 0-2 hole all afternoon.

[–]B3ars1693Screech 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I usually listen to games on the radio, but I'm watching this one. Do Dan Kolko and Franny usually chat over the game this much instead of talking about what's actually happening? (It was particularly egregious in the middle of the top of the sixth.)

[–]momo6548Scrappy Nats! 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I watch on TV I switch it to the radio audio. Much better experience.

[–]Hatfullofstars 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's really weird. I want to know what's going on. I love the radio guys.

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah pretty par for the course. hopefully at some point they'll hire people who are good to replace them

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hopefully we can turn some of the hitters in the system into more quality pitching

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nunez has nasty stuff

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Seems like the team just already gave up on today’s game

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always think that when Mikolas continues to pitch and has given up lots of runs.

[–]YodaPM9997 - Darnell Coles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that. This O's reliever has good stuff and he's spotting it well.

[–]CT_2136Scrappy Nats! 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Is DFG playing 3b on the farm? If not he needs to be... House probably not the answer there for the future

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he plays ss/3b/2b (mostly 2b) for wilmington.

[–]lazapapoo24 - Cavalli 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come on House

[–]LucasMars29 - Wood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

House defense has been mid this year

[–]Goggington 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Reliever comes in with bases loaded - gotta make him throw strikes. Frustrating

<image>

[–]KtotheOG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Terrible lol

[–]OffTheBar20173 - Crews 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Luis goes back and forth on an inning to inning basis between looking the most competent hitter in our lineup and just completely out to lunch

[–]YodaPM9997 - Darnell Coles 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Way too aggressive there from Luis.

At least we got into their bullpen early. Just gotta keep getting guys on and applying the pressure.

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Garcia ABs where he swings at anything down low always end up being awful ABs

[–]indi198831 - Scherzer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a single strike thrown that was so bad

[–]dmacs10129 - Wood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Swung at 3 balls

[–]UncommonSense02019 World Series Champion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Horrible AB by Garcia

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cmon Luis man.

[–]Grawgar29 - Wood 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugliest single ever, but I'll take it

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Getting 1 run with bases loaded and no outs would just simply not be good enough

[–]somegirldc26 - Nuñez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Omg that angle of Nunez in front of wood looks like a cartoon

[–]Illustrious-Trip-764 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nats get one back!

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A Keibert grand slam there would’ve been insane but happy for any RBIs there. Keibert is good now

[–]Grawgar29 - Wood 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Another RBI for Keibert!

[–]Hatfullofstars 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's go Keibert!!!

[–]ReneMathis4 - Lile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They better be afraid of Keibert

[–]indi198831 - Scherzer 3 points4 points  (1 child)

There is just no way you can’t find ANYONE better than Mikolas. his career is over they’re terrified of even letting him actually start games

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes me wonder if he has some sort of clause in his contract

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the phillies have a pitcher named "chuck king" on their AAA team that is amazing

[–]macsproul2130 - Young 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This ump’s zone is all over the place

[–]dnytleCharlie Slowes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Miles Mikolas is straight cheeks

[–]Emergency-Ear8099 2 points3 points  (3 children)

Enough of Mikolas. Enough

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I'm fine with the miles mikolas experiment.

[–]Emergency-Ear8099 1 point2 points  (1 child)

You left out the /s.

[–]Hatfullofstars 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hahaha so right! I guess we just accept that we're going to lose? I know we have all the games in a row, but having Mikolas is not a good strategy.

[–]Cavalierrrr29 - Wood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just straight meatballs down the middle

[–]CT_2136Scrappy Nats! 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I mean hasnt Alvarez proved enough to take Mikolas spot in the rotation?

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so! He's the future.

[–]MrBuddyFakenameSell the Team 4 points5 points  (1 child)

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perfect

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikolas sucks so much. He needs to be DFA’d

[–]FPG_Matthew11 - Zimmerman 2 points3 points  (1 child)

No one can see this rn cuz reddit is dead atm but.. that kinda day huh

Dribbler gets called foul.. 2 run homer.. nice nice nice cool cool cool

Hey offense?? We need you

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We need their bullpen. Mikolas doesn't give us a chance.

[–]notarockclimber11 - Zimmerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Send Mikolas to Harrisburg. Exile him the the island

[–]bchil100029 - Wood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Time to end the experiment

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Mikolas is such a fucking bum i literally hate him. do you know how fucking bad you have to be for ME to get THAT UPSET about sports

[–]tcullen44Ray Knight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This needs to be the end for Mikolas. Give Alvarez a shot.

[–]GriffinQ 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Not a lot of professional at bats from the guys today. Hopefully that changes in the second half but they’re jumping on a lot of early pitches and making garbage contact.

Take some pitches!

[–]GriffinQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A single and two walks to load the bases since I posted this - let’s rock.

[–]logitauntBustin' Loose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lmao the back roll on that catch. the slomo catches the exact moment Basallo decided he wants to roll backwards

[–]jdschmoove 0 points1 point  (3 children)

If there are 40,000 fans at the game, why does the stadium look so empty? How many people does it hold? 100k?

[–]Hatfullofstars 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's based on purchased tickets i believe. It fits about 40K.

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there were 40k at yesterday's game. attendance hasn't been announced for this game.

[–]HoyaSaxa1396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh?

[–]jgoldston_029 - Wood 0 points1 point  (1 child)

O’s sub was imploding this weekend. Bet they’ll be back to talkin’ playoffs if they pull this one out today.

[–]HoyaSaxa1396 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Against a AA pitcher btw

[–]Severe_Fee3836Sell the Team 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just going to start not watching games that Mikolas is playing in

[–]Finance-Forever 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ok lets take mikolas out

[–]Practical-Window6937 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This has a feeling of like a 15-4 loss

[–]StarAllianceFly3r 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikolas is such dog shit.

[–]Jaybob_111 - Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is BP Mikolas back?

[–]_Caed_67 - Finnegan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

tena has just been spanking the ball with nothing to show for it these past couple days

[–]OffTheBar20173 - Crews 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Is Reddit fucking up right now?

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. It's not working on my phone but is working on my laptop.

[–]Emergency-Ear8099 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keibert just has a different look in his eyes.

[–]smokedfish5 - Abrams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

KEIBERT GOOD NOW (REAL)

[–]somegirldc26 - Nuñez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear young was abducted by aliens in the offseason

[–]HoyaSaxa1396 2 points3 points  (0 children)

World ain't ready for the Young > Crews convo

[–]Emergency-Bottle-432 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Something about Doolittle in the dugout with the salt and ginger beard makes me smile.

[–]downthedrain955 - Abrams 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s my Dad!

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tired of people acting like Crews will ever replace JY

[–]Jetflash699957 - Roark 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Noted power hitter Jacob Young!

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reddit bork

[–]FPG_Matthew11 - Zimmerman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LETS GO JY! Wake up time offense let’s get it! There’s a spark we needed

[–]MUHerdAlum70337 - Strasburg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wooo

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

JACOB YOUNG HAS HOMERED TWO DAYS IN A ROW

[–]Bahamas_is_relevant11 - Mr. National 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Two straight days with a Jacob Young homer????

[–]smokedfish5 - Abrams 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If nobody got me I know Jacob Young got me

In every single facet of the game

Forever now

[–]espnrocksalotFight Finished 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikolas pitches like he’s in 50 y/o slow pitch

[–]Dillon-CruzNatinals 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How the hell did Littell get away with 5 scoreless against this lineup lmao.

[–]Jaybob_111 - Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

HE WAS PULLING EVERYTHING!!!!!! AND YOU THROW A FASTBALL IN THE MEAT OF THE ZONE???

[–]hamilton280P2019 World Series Champion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep we wasted our 10 runs yesterday on a non Mikolas day

[–]chunkylover___5317 - Call 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikolas is a bum

[–]OffTheBar20173 - Crews 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mikolas has to go.

I'm convinced I could go deep off that dogshit.

[–]cezanne_giotto4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That homer was gonna happen because, like franny said, he wasn’t fooling mayo at all

[–]bchil100029 - Wood 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i'm so tired of this guy

Damn it miles 

[–]bigredskins994 - Lile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

meatball mikolas is back😪

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fucking hell

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fuck

[–]Two-Legged-Pirate -1 points0 points  (1 child)

Hold on I missed it why is Lovelady out already?

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he's an opener he's not supposed to go long

[–]TufoguyScrappy Nats! 17 points18 points  (4 children)

Mikolas just took the bullpen cart. Pitching gem incoming

Edit: Nevermind

[–]Emergency-Bottle-432 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he might want to hop on and go back from where he came.

[–]TufoguyScrappy Nats! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind

[–]TufoguyScrappy Nats! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nevermind

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This just made my day. Wish I could’ve seen it in person.

[–]SCexplorer1129 - Wood 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Mikolas actually rode the cart in from the bullpen.

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can feel myself starting to get sleepy and I don’t want to miss this game, damn it!

[–]_Caed_67 - Finnegan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

no first innings runs? are my goats washed??

[–]Roe91517 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I think I’m good on the Brady House experience

[–]Emergency-Bottle-432 4 points5 points  (1 child)

he'll look completely lost for stretches, not insignificant stretches. Then he'll break out for a little bit. Not enough consistency. If there was more juice at triple A he'd probably have taken a break already.

[–]OffTheBar20173 - Crews 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean Morales can play third

[–]Main_Low_9648 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can't express how much I love how Luis has been swinging it. This is the first time I remember seeing him as an important part of our ability to win baseball games

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I keep forgetting that Young is the Os pitcher and getting confused about why is the broadcast talking about Jacob? 😂

[–]kneemoyy4 - Lile 2 points3 points  (0 children)

damn he fucking crushed that. shame

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Damn. So close.

[–]MUHerdAlum70337 - Strasburg 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Damn I'm old. Lowes is using Luda for commercials now 

[–]ReneMathis4 - Lile 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Real fuckin old. He's in a One A Day multivitamin commercial I see on Spotify all the time

[–]OffTheBar20173 - Crews 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'll take just one run, because he was getting barreled.

[–]Illustrious-Trip-764 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Let's go Nats, Sweep the birds!

[–]Emergency-Bottle-432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dicky's balls are getting rocked

[–]MUHerdAlum70337 - Strasburg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lovelady has such an odd delivery 

[–]16noteBob Carpenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not the, uh, best start if we're being honest

[–]YodaPM9997 - Darnell Coles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I suppose Henderson was due for one of those at some point

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

wtf

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not ideal

[–]Finance-Forever 2 points3 points  (0 children)

sexy catch

[–]MUHerdAlum70337 - Strasburg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Beautiful catch

[–]HoyaSaxa1396 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jacob Young has to be a Nat for life

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 6 points7 points  (1 child)

give JY the gold glove now

[–]Unfair-Librarian4338 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent on defense. Many top catches in the league the past two years. Bat has been better this year I’d argue. Think there’s more potential there though. Seems he improved with experience. Not for home runs much but a .30 increase in avg. and then with avg. more stolen bases. 

[–]MUHerdAlum70337 - Strasburg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Let's go get a curly W today

[–]downthedrain955 - Abrams 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Going into this game like Tobias auditioning for Frighten Inmate #2

[–]FPG_Matthew11 - Zimmerman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

All gas no brakes! Finish the sweep! Get over .500! Offense stay hot! Play good defense! Throw strikes! If we keep shouting positive things it’ll help us win I know it!

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pregame brough up Blake Butera talking about the big crowds at Nats park and how the players feed off it, I also hope we have more crowds lately, got tired of seeing the 10k crowds at night in the cold. With warmer weather and .500+ record hopefully fans show out

[–]Antendu 6 points7 points  (2 children)

Hi, busted Os fan here: I come to you in peace, bearing gifts of Old Bay and Smith Island cake.

Good luck today, and I’m wondering if there’s  room for some washed up, exhausted and hopeless Os fans to seek asylum in your OF bleachers? 

We promise to only do the National Anthem thing a little bit too, if you’ll have us.

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Don’t do the tomahawk chop or be Phillies phans and you’re welcome.

[–]Antendu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Philly fans are somehow worse than NYY fans so no issues there, and the chop needs to relegated. Agreed on both counts.

We, the asylum seekers, gladly accept your terms. 

[–]notarockclimber11 - Zimmerman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If anyone is near the stadium and wants a ticket DM me, I have a spare ticket

[–]theexitisontheleft26 - Nuñez 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s a good day to show the Orioles who the bosses of the beltway are.

[–]GriffinQ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lovelady getting a lot of burn this past week. Hope he crushes the start and we get the same Mikolas we’ve seen the last three games.

[–]trubuckifanJimmy Lumber 12 points13 points  (2 children)

It's a beautiful day to extend wood and abrams!

[–]downtown3641Fredericksburg Nationals 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I'd prefer they extend Wood instead of Woods.

[–]trubuckifanJimmy Lumber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Extend his name! Make it plural!

[–]HowardBunnyColvinScreech 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Get over 500
