9 Commments

  1. Pre Dawn patrol .
    Funny how the Nats win 8-1 but ESPN shows only Snell highlights
    But no Lane Thomas tater

      1. Definitely a shout-out to Trey, with three hits and three SBs, including the steal of home. He struggled over the weekend, so good for him for getting some mojo back. Time will tell whether he’ll hit consistently enough to be an MLB regular, but he’s marking himself as someone who can at least be a super-utility asset, all the more since they seem scared to let Nunez even hold a piece of wood in his hands.

  2. Altogether a good first week. I’ll be happy if the 4 full season teams can finish the season with a cumulative winning percentage above .500.

    Trivia question: when was the last time the Nats’ affiliates finished with a winning percentage?

    1. I doubt that they’ve collectively finished with a winning record during this decade.

    3. I knew it but I’m *supposed* to know it. Hint: the last time they had a truly good AAA team.

  3. Josiah Gray to the 10 day IL with a forearm/elbow strain (yikes, as that often precedes the discovery of UCL damage and TJ). Adon up to start tonight. Would think Rutledge could be up soon.

  4. Pitching pitching pitching
    Let’s see how the ACC pitching prospects are doing heading into Draft
    Demon Deacons especially
