hoping for a good day game today. Haven't been many.

cool, KC not fielding a 1B. This should be easy!

Good catch! Unfortunately, per MLB site/starting line-ups, looks like Caglione will be back at first.

Let's see. Day game. At home. Littell is on the mound. Team has already won the series. What could possibly go wrong?

What could go wrong? Quite a lot of things. And I don't want to insult anyone so I will leave it at that:))

Two jinxes to overcome, the day game jinx and the sweep jinx. Go Nats!

Let's getaway in style! Bring the brooms and send 'em packing!

Decent pitching, offense scoring the frequent 6 - 8+ runs. A CURLY W. Not too much to ask? GO NATS!!

Susan H aka pitchingfan's avatar

One of the keys is a bounce-back start from Littell, which is he definitely capable of. That plus adequate run support ought to do it. (Easy for me to say!)

Go, Zack! Go, Nats!!

Susan H aka pitchingfan's avatar

Oof. That's not a promising start.

Yukon Cornelius, please. That's when he pitches best. :-)

Susan H aka pitchingfan's avatar

I almost wrote that. LOL

Emotionally preparing us for a Mitchell Parker appearance. You're a mensch, Mark.

Nooner as the second lead off man - I’m down

I’d like to see CJ break out of his mini-slump today. After his big game on Saturday, he’s gone 2-for-13 with no walks and no RBI, while is OPS has dropped. He needs to continue to give national voters a reason to keep giving him All-Star votes.

After watching Nunez post game interview, I am sure he is the Nat I would most like to go to lunch with.

peter wood's avatar

Me too, especially if he pays:))

Maybe PJ Poulin can be an option later in this game. They need to avoid the bullpen as much as possible.

Underway on a warm, 84-degree Wednesday afternoon at Nationals Park, where the home team seeks a sweep of the Royals and a 5-1 homestand.

Looks like the April Zak today 🙄 But Nunez saves the day.

Nice play be Nunez and pick by Garcia. Witt might be the fastest runner in baseball.
