2015 Washington Nationals Thread - Hot Stove News: Daniel Murphy signed, Phillips is an idiot.

Come on Stras...walking the pitcher is unacceptable

[Riggo#44]

And then bouces back. Good job getting out of that inning.

[Bacon]

That's nice to see. Stras got himself into a jam and pitched himself right back out of it without falling to pieces.

[StillUnknown]

Good outing from Stras, velocity was good, pitches were sharp

Only one hard hit ball too. 6 Ks in 5 inn by a team that doesn't K very much either.

After 5 scoreless by Strasburg tonight, #Nationals starters are up to 26.1 consecutive scoreless innings.

[Bacon]

Mets dropped one to Milwaukee. We can get to 2.5 up tonight.

Get Zimm healthy to replace TMo and I really like this lineup as it is. 1-4 is terrifying, Buffalo is good for a bomb every now and again, 2015 Espi is a massive improvement over 2015 Desi, Taylor is starting to get a feel for the plate and Zimm is dangerous even at 75%.

We score a lot of runs, in spurts, with backups playing every day. Healthy, this is a good team, and will hit and score more consistently. One more bullpen arm, and we'll be set.

Tony's back..

Rendon locking it in tonight

[Mr. Sinister]

Thing are getting interesting

[Riggo#44]

I really hate everyone in our pen not named Roark or Storen

[Mr. Sinister]

That was close.

[StillUnknown]

when's the last time Esco & Bryce went without a hit in the same game?

[Bacon]

Great. No exhaling for a while.

Escobar has been a GIDP machine tonight..

Basehit ties it...

[Mr. Sinister]

Yikes

[Warhead36]

Drew hasn't pitched in a while and it's showing.

[Mr. Sinister]

How's that blodd pressure guys. Lol

[Riggo#44]

There we go, bit of a Storiano save...

[StillUnknown]

They can't all be clean & pristine, Drew got the job done regardless. 

[CRobi21]

[Bacon]

Now...exhale.

 

4 straight wins, 2.5 games up, starting rotation hasn't surrendered a run in ages.

[SkinsHokieFan]

Look at that, somehow this team is 7-3 in its last 10.

 

Things are looking up again. Despite an awful June, 2.5 game lead now.
