This will be interesting, I feel like historically the Nats have been dominated by rookie pitchers making their debut. Much like the Commanders historically make rookie opposing QBs look like hall of famers. I have no data to back this claim up.
Very interesting how they stacked the lineup with lefties. I haven't seen Painter but this makes me think he either doesn't have a changeup or his changeup is his worst pitch. Whereas his slider is probably pretty good (thus no House).
He certainly has had more trouble with lefties having given up a .857 OPS against last year in the minors. Seems to either walk them, K them or give up hard contact. Need to see some plate discipline from Luis to get on base for CJ.
I'm surprised. I always thought Phillies fans to be more knowledgeable than to panic after only four games. Even if they are playing one of the worsts teams in the league.

Lefty-Lefty-Lefty-Lefty-Lefty-Switch-Lefty-Righty-Righty. This could be a very difficult 1st inning for the Philthies young righty

Never would've thought we'd have a must-watch game on a March Tuesday.
