Sorry for the glitch in the Orioles lineup. I didn't realize it hadn't saved after I finished typing it out (over last night's Nats lineup) before hitting the publish button. It's fixed now!
I know this is a minor issue compared to our bullpen woes and Wood’s slump, but I’m always perplexed whenever I see Chaparro (or Tena, frankly) in the three spot. Or am I missing something?
Did they call anyone else up? Aren’t there two spots available after the guy who started the other day and Varland got sent down? Lawrence was one call up, but shouldn’t there be another?
When I was at the game Wednesday I think it was there was a low throw Nasim made that Chapparro should’ve had but muffed. I then heard the fellow behind me say something I thought I’d never hear: “Their defense is so much better when Luis is in there.”
Really really hoping James gets it going again tonight
Positive mental health is deciding to give the “there is no spoon” treatment to the last three days
Keibert Ruiz also playing for the Orioles now?
Trying to collect 2 paychecks:))
😂
Nothibg wrong with that.
Lol
Best way for the bullpen to get back on track is to face some of their own guys! I just hope Young, Nunez, and Ruiz don't know any secrets.
Where is Garcia, 2nd night in a row???
Good question!!
The O's are starting a lefty. Garcia will be in later.
Lefty starter
Interesting lineup card, for them O's🤔🤪
Can't watch tonight, like James Wood I need a break

We love you Mark
No worries

If there on the team they need to play every once in awhile.
Right, but hit him sixth or seventh, not third
Butera has probably the craziest lineups I've ever seen but the Nationals lead baseball in runs so it's hard to complain.
Chaparo looks like a power hitter, is no more powerful than Nunez…
Crews is starting to come around. That's a positive. Hope it continues.

Kent
He's pitched in four games for the Nats this year but I have no recollection of him. Looking at the stats doesn't inspire confidence.
Zak Kent.

We all should be fortunate enough to have the apparent job security that Mitchell Parker has.
For June his WHIP is 2.44 and batters are hitting .439 against him
Insane
And the definition of insane… doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result. Nationals might want to take the hint.
I presume it's an options issue. But if they option him, WHO WOULD CLAIM HIM???
HA!
Learn to pitch left handed. :-)
I kind of think he needs to confront his fear (which i assume is losing his job) before he can build back up into something useful.
If his fear was merely getting shelled, well he’s confronted that plenty.
Feels like one of those situations where we eventually part ways and then he re-emerges in a year or so and is pretty decent for another team.
That thought came to me this afternoon. That would be our luck at this point.
Lefty smefty
Garcia against lefties still better than Andres

Marsh on Phillies must not be married, wife would never let him out of the house...
Looking like that
But darn,...he can hit
When you make 5.2 million a year woman don't seem to care as much. :-)
Right on:))
He could be in witness protection. Impossible to know what he looks like.
I am hungry! And the only thing that will satisfy that hunger is a CURLY W!!
Similarly, I’ve got a fever and rather than more cowbell the only cure is a Nats W!
Nats and O's are underway on a steamy, 83-degree Friday evening at Camden Yards.
