Hats off to Gallen for having such a strong performance in only his second start ever but

I only go to Max games at this point. We have other great pitchers, but why not instead see the best and most competitive player the Nationals have ever had?

I'm so glad Max is finally stacking wins. No one deserves it more.

This hurts. What a momentum killer. At least the Rosenthal nightmare is over.

Win the next one and try to forget tonight ever happened. Plenty of opportunities to get over .500 and beyond over the next 3 series. It's very, very obvious what this team needs to do at the all star break if they want to compete, which is a good thing. They just can't bury the season in the meanwhile.

Was that last strike to Acuna as beautiful as it seemed on gamecast? Everyone was expecting a low pitch for a possible double play there, so the height and run on that cutter threw him off.

Short leash, please.

I'd love to have him back if he keeps playing the way he has since May.

I'm just going to link to this article from three days ago so we can all laugh at it: https://www.thegoodphight.com/2019/6/17/18681876/definitely-not-missing-bryce-phillies-vs-nationals-series-preview

Didn't notice that we passed the Mets today. That's always good. **** the Mets. 4 games out of the second wildcard spot.

I still believe in Suero. He's not a stud but he's got the stuff to be a solid contributor. Right now this Nats team looks like the talented but frustrating bunch I grew to know in 2015 and 2018. With a league average number of blown saves, we would be right in the thick of the playoff race, but that's the thing, isn't it? The FO skimps in one area and it buries everything else. Garnish with a series of injuries and you've got a recipe for a .525-530 winning percentage.

Didn't see much difference between Rosenthal and their kid.

I love this so much

Well, ****. We're 6 games out of first. Don't look now, but this could get interesting after all.

We went in with a -10 run differential and left +1 lololol
