2014 NL East Division Champs Washington Nationals(News, Notes, Scores, and Discussion)

There's a lot about that lineup I don't like, but you know what does look good.  Strasburg throwing again.  Watch your back, Kershaw.

[Sticksboi05]

Harper hitting that low is interesting.

Harper hitting that low is interesting. 

 

5th? Williams has had him there most of the spring I believe. Good spot for him I think, should have a lot of RBI looks. And he's still protected by Desmond with that lineup.

Harper will be our best hitter, I'd rather he hit 2nd-3rd-4th.

 

Ramos batting 4th is the big one though. He's got a lot of power and has the potential to be a monster in that spot, but there is a big difference from hitting 8th and not having any real pressure to produce and hitting 4th and being THE clean up guy.

Probably a big reason why Harper is 5th IMO. I think you can get a ton more out of Ramos at the plate with Harper behind him rather than a pitcher.

Does anybody know where I can listen to the game online? I know The Fan doesn't stream online and I can't get any signal from a radio in my office.

Sadly, I have to work today, but I'll be refreshing this thread constantly and running ESPN gamecast if it will work.

[Popeman38]

Is the opener on WUSA9, or MASN only? WUSA9 is on the breakroom TV, MASN is not. I might need 124 cups of coffee this afternoon...

[CRobi21]

Let's ****in go boys!!!

[JamesMadisonSkins]

UGH. I hate when MLB.tv blacks out my games when we play the Mets on SNY. I can't watch at the office. Anyone have any suggestions? The only thing I can get is the radio feed when I'm blacked out ... and Channel surfing seems to have been shut down again.

 

Any streaming options or am I screwed to having to listen only?

 

Also, doesn't appear that either SNY or MASN give an online viewing option like ESPN and others do to let you use your cable's online subscription to watch online.

i love this lineup.  Ramos was a machine when healthy last year.  He had an awesome spring.  

[JamesMadisonSkins]

The worst part is I got so pumped to watch the game then ... of course ... remembered about the blackout restrictions. ;klsdjfa;kljfa

[skinfan2k]

15 bombs in 72 games last year is almost 35 over 162. 

[CRobi21]

Anyone else not have sound?

[skinfan2k]

where is the ****in sound?

[Riggo#44]

Anyone else not have sound?

 

Nope. MASN blows. I blame Peter Angelos. Probably did it on purpose. Dick

 

 

...and it just came on...Angelos reads these boards...

[skinfan2k]

i tweeted everyone and their mother but its back now!

[Captain James]

Let's go!! The journey to the first undefeated season in MLB history starts now!!

[CRobi21]

Lots of empty seats in NY lol

[skinfan2k]

i should have went to the game in NY but i didn't want to go by myself

[StillUnknown]

there goes the no hitter....

[skinfan2k]

looks like the 1st inning is still trouble for SS

[StillUnknown]

That sounded like a no doubt shot, offense gotta pick Stras up.

[CRobi21]

Gotta pick it up now..
