I loved that guy

Crazy thing is he was most valued for his defense. I haven't followed his story but I'm eager to learn what alchemy has turned him into a DH on the best team in baseball.

My husband is a lifelong Braves fan. It’s a house divided and I really need the Nats to not suck so I don’t have to hear it from him until the next time we play. 🤣🤞

Bless your heart. You are a true believer. Here's hoping they split, and you maintain the status quo ante bellum.

Uh oh, the heart-blessings are starting (and will continue until morale improves)

Ha! I identify and empathize with Rebecca. I have my own Braves fan to deal with (at the gym). Fortunately, he whomps me with non-verbal stuff. It isn't always easy being a Nats' fan, but things are looking up.

Definitely gonna be a difficult series. I looking for at least a split and who know what surprise may lay in store for Nats fans! GO NATS!!

"Fernandez becomes the 21st different pitcher on the Nats’ staff already this season."

The record is 42, set in 2019 by the Mariners. Is it in jeopardy?

I'm old enough to remember when most teams had 8 pitchers on the roster....

From the Nats Magic 8 Ball: will the Nationals lose to the Braves tonight?

“Don’t count on it”. ⚾️🌀🙂🙋🏼‍♀️

Excellent write up Mark !! Is there a way you can make a new tab on your sub-stack that only lists transactions. Otherwise we have to go all the way to MLB.com to check on latest of transactions. It seems like Nats are moving folks up and down AAA almost every game..

Prediction: Julian Fernandez comes in in the 8th, the Nats break a tie and hold on for the win.

Fernandez optioned back to AAA. -:)

Second game in a row without Jorbit Vivas in the lineup. Is this a message to the team about hustling to first?

That's a great question. I wonder the same thing. It would cool to see behind the curtain.
