Nats, Astros Rained Out
Most of the action was in the stands, not the field. That’s pretty typical for high school football, but not for baseball.
The Astros were booed early and often, despite the game being in their own (albeit shared) ballpark. It didn’t matter that Houston sent none of its regulars out to face the music. The fans, mostly Washington’s, were ready to play them a symphony.
As for the game itself, it lasted a little less than a half hour, with Nats going in order twice and the Asterisks Astros striking out twice in two innings against Max Scherzer. The game went into a rain delay and was called 93 minutes later, though it also claimed Joe Ross, who had been warming in the ‘pen to come in during the 3rd.
It’s a pair of split squad games this afternoon, with these two teams rematching in West Palm Beach, and a road trip for “our guys” to Jupiter, Fla. to face the Marlins. The home game will be broadcast locally on WJFK 106.7FM while the road game can be heard via MLB Audio (Miami feed).
FYI — I was listening to the radio feed last night and they said today’s game will be broadcast on 94.7. Not sure why.
Okay, you have your choice now. Live feed at 1:05 on 94.7 or 3:30 over at 106.7.
Looks like half of ‘our guys’ at one game and the other half at the other. Go figure.
MLB Radio page says WJFK, but forgot to check if there was another sport playing. Just another reminder that DC is not a baseball town.
You what is really weird. The Greek chorus collective booing @ Houston , Bean Town and any other team that has been “ banging a gong “ is part of the woke movement who knows it’s history. Think back to the days of the early 1900s. Bobby Thompson HR heard round the world all about via Leo the Lip getting electro impulses from Whitey sitting out in the catbird seat with eyes in the air. …. the same mentality that shut down 1994 upstairs in NYC has been fawning for all of us just to forget “ bang a gong “. Tony LARussa claiming how clean a guy he was in south side Chicago and the creaming in Oakland Coliseum.
Baseball will have a new walk away crowd right now …..
Happy trails , Brian Dozier. Pad your numbers in Petco. Foe of LA – again ….
