The FredNats were clicking on all cylinders Last Night in Fredericksburg.
Kyle Hayes! James Madison High School in Vienna before JMU and GMU for his last year. I think its the first Nats signing from my high school alma mater!
Hayes doesn’t have Wesley Snipes Cleveland speed
Sunday sighting
Jorian Wilson RF Texas AM . Is David Justice re – incarnating in him ???
So the Greek pulled up lame Sunday to give SF bullpen BP for paying customers ??
A couple of Sunday thoughts as the hot tea steeps
Footlong Saturday with a lot of fives turned in . The philosophy resonating even with reclamation project Lara ?
Petry hit two taters out of the Delaware Grand Canyon ??
Very impressive .
Something tells me Petry when he reaches AAA could hit the ball up and out of Victory Fiekd and across the street in Indy at Victory Firld as I once saw Justin Mournesu do .
Sounds like Fangraphs’ Nats prospect list will be appearing in the next week…. will be interesting to get their take (if there is one) on how some of them are looking – I think there could be upward arrows on some….
