Rizzo may look to trade more/better prospects to get guys that aren't rentals.

 

Other than Luis Garcia and Carter Kieboom--who do we have? Tim Cate? international kids? I don't think we have the ammo for Vazquez.

Yeah not Vazquez, Pirates won't move him. Gotta aim a bit lower, which I think is fine as long as Doolittle can get/stay healthy. Ideally someone mid-tier who has closer results this year, either a rental or one year remaining on their contract, who can serve as our setup guy and for spot saves to give Doo a night off. 

 

Re who we'd give up, Garcia and Kieboom are obviously our only top 100 guys but I'm sure there are other members of our farm system that are starting to get recognition but aren't on our radar yet. Just like Dunning and Luzardo weren't on any list when we traded them but they both turned out to be highly touted prospects. So, no clue who we'd end up parting with. But I wouldn't say we have no ammo to get a reliever.

I am not a fan of Tom Verducci, but you are doing yourself a disservice if you don't read this article: https://www.si.com/mlb/2019/07/01/max-scherzer-washington-nationals-injury?xid=socialflow_twitter_si&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=si-mlb&utm_medium=social

Radar looks like DC "could" be hammered about 30-60min into the game tonight.

I'm leaving in 10 mins to go to the game with my daughter, so yeah 100% checked in there

I feel you, Riggo. I spend 8 hours a day watching my infant daughter while I wait for my student teaching placement to start in August and I have way too much time to lock into Nats stuff. Luckily, it's actually positive stuff these days.

Stras just pulled off the immaculate inning, striking out the side on 9 pitches

Don't remember him ever doing that before.

 

Bob just confirms. JZim had one. Max twice. Now Stras with his first

I thought Craig Stammen had one too, can't remember for sure.

That 3rd strike call was just terrible.  Eric Gregg terrible.  

[CRobi21]

Ump all but kills the inning.

 

6 inches outside called strike 3 on Robles....

 

Get this man some runs!!!

Dozier has turned it around.   He's been awesome. 

 

Stras dealing.  Fun game.

[Warhead36]

Stras should go 9.

[Bacon]

Uhh no, let's pull Stras now. 

[Warhead36]

Ahh crap, looks like he might be out of it.

[Bacon]

There's no way I can see this situation ending well with Rojas coming up, but I'd love to be wrong.
