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

[Bacon]

Our B team went up 5-0 yesterday, I'm not counting us out.

[CRobi21]

What a joke by PHI to start this game..

[Dan T.]

It's freaking pouring rain there.  And they're playing. Unreal.

[Metalhead]

I can't believe they even started this game.

[StillUnknown]

the cynical side of me says that they only started the game so that we'd have to burn Gio

[Popeman38]

Are you kidding? Philly wanted to burn a starter because we will have to throw Roark in a game tomorrow. ****ing pathetic.

[TheGoodBits]

More than that. Span, Harper, Ramos, Escobar aren't in the lineup. Might have been able to go tomorrow with the rest day today, but now we need to keep them on the bench since we'll need subs later in the game.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

****ing with our rotation.

**** you Philly.

[Dan T.]

They played because they didn't want to disappoint the 31 Phillies fans who paid tickets for the game.

It was a total "Oh they're in shambles, start the game" move.

They played because they didn't want to disappoint the 31 Phillies fans who paid tickets for the game.

 

It was a season high, what do you expect.

 

And I was listening on the radio last night, it sounded like some good roars from Nats fans there. Sounded like we represented well...sounded like there were more of us than them...

[skinfan2k]

Well they want to start the game because they know nats fans traveled and a double header won't do good tmrw

[Bacon]

Haha has it already been delayed again? This is so stupid.

[Warhead36]

Its funny how Philly has gone from World Champs to utter jokes of the league in basically half a decade.

[d0ublestr0ker0ll]

Philly is an hour away from getting absolutely crushed with showers and thunderstorms, and it's going to rain hard until then.

Could stop this evening, think they'd start it in 4 hours or so?

Stephen Strasburg will start Game 1 tomorrow. Matt Williams hasn't decided on second game starter. #Nats

Straight double header? So homophobic...

[Slateman]

Game 1 shouldn't have started in the first place.

We can call up a 26th player for tomorrow, right?

[Bacon]

Half the MLB's games were postponed or currently on delay. Weather is crazy today.

[@DCGoldPants]

Would be nice to have Ross to start that game tomorrow. At least this gives those dinged up guys an extra day off. Even though I doubt they play a double header. Still, if we can get Span back for one of them. Harper for the other. Not sure if Yuni will be ready. Just got back into today an hour ago. So, all I know if that he was hit on the hand.

[Slateman]

Ross has pitched within the last three days. If they're calling up someone for a spot start, it's probably Taylor Hill.

OTOH, Roark is still fairly stretched out.

[@DCGoldPants]

Yeah. Just read an article than mentioned Ross just going on Thursday and Roark being the likely option since he's been off since last relieving Stras

[skinfan2k]

back from Philly.  going back up tmrw for the DH.  I got Desi and Uggla's auto though lol

[skinfan2k]

Taylor Jordan going for the 2nd start. 

[Slateman]

You know, if Matt was so adamant about not being able to get the game in, why throw Gio?
