Ball Security Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 K day for Gore. 11 in five innings. I’d imagine they’d pull him as he has 90 pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been reading speculation that he's made the leap. What he changed in the off-season has likely made him an Ace. Absolutely crucial for our rebuild. Especially with Corbin (and now Strasburg?) contracts off the books. We can go hard on what our farm lacks, pitching in FA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Just coming in to say. Every time I see this thread, I hear Gabby Johnson in Blazing Saddles saying "The Sheriff is near!" I'll leave now, since I know absolutely nothing about the Nats. Just making a joke about the thread title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 11 minutes ago, Metalhead said: What a disaster. Oof Just poor bullpen management. 6-1 with runners two guys on, just let Williams close it out. Who cares if those two runs score. This isn’t Gore where you worry about his pitch count. Williams isn’t scheduled to pitch until Saturday. Now you’re to using guys three days in a row with Weems. If you can’t find a spot for Rainey in three days at Oakland, why is he on the roster? Unreal DP by Vargas and Abrams just now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhead Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Listening on the radio. That DP, replay, and the third out. What was that old Norv Turner era saying? Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 Getting a little worried about Ruiz. Looks like Millas is coming back up meaning, someone has to go to the IL. Pretty long time to be out with the flu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalhead Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Ruiz must have something going on, I hope he's ok. Maybe the IR is retroactive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bcl05 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The internet is awesome. Sitting in a hospital in Vietnam (working, not a patient), and watching the Nats. Abrams is awesome. Feel a bit bad for Parker, debuting against that lineup, but getting first run has to help… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine making your debut and you have to face Betts, Ohtani, and Freeman as your first three batters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bcl05 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 (edited) CJ is going to be a big star for a long time. I’d offer him a big extension yesterday. with Gore looking great and Woods on the way, the Soto trade is looking pretty fantastic , as painful as it was at the time.

Ball Security Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 What a night for Mitchell Parker. Five IP, 2ER, 4 Ks including Betts twice and Ohtani. No walks. They don’t need the fifth starter for a bit. But just keep him up. He’s earned it. Not like the extra reliever will get in anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? What did he demonstrate to deserve being moved up? He was tapping soft ground balls (85 avg EV, almost 70% ground ball rate). He’s solid defensively but he needs more time in the minors. 7 hours ago, Ball Security said: What a night for Mitchell Parker. Big Pitch Mitch!!

Because he was playing solid defense and at least getting himself into a position to score more than a few guys above him, I would have like to see him bumped up a few spots to try benefiting from it.

He’s still young and needs regular playing time that he would not have gotten now that Senzel is back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
