Going to be a practice in patience tomorrow, Chandler is effectively wild, and if they can force him to leave early, the Buccos pen has a been managing a heavy workload lately

James Wood’s ball was absolutely DEMOLISHED. I knew he’d eventually get a red seat but I didn’t think it woudl be so soon.

Situationally, though, i cannot for the life of me understand taking the hottest hitter on the planet out for Andres Chaparro. Hopefully we can get a series win tomorrow. Let’s go Cade.

They just didn't want Garcia to have to face the lefty pitcher.

He is the hottest hitter on the planet versus righties. If I had to guess, in batting practice he is still struggling on the traject against lefty breaking balls. He is rocking it right now becuase Butera is using him to maximum impact.

For as long as he is killing it he is more likely to keep folowing the patient approach he is showing. Given his history, whenever he struggles he typically falls back into his bad habits. Put him in against lefty starters and you may see it all unravel.

Time for a changing of the guard in the “B” bullpen; give some other guys a chance…

"ditto" just about since the beginning of the season, although there was a pretty good stretch in there somewhere.

The Nats have a pretty good habit of bouncing back after a loss like this. I am looking for a SERIES WINNING CURLY W TOMORROW AFTERNOON!! 8+ RUNS, AND CADE WITH EXCELLENT PITCHING!!

GO NATS!!

How about that Air Force brass band? They killed it

Ugh. I wanted to go to the game today. Sort of glad I didn’t. That would have made for 2 straight years of watching the Nats lose on the 4th.

Lot of soft contact from the Bucs that we’re not turned into outs by our substandard (fielding that is) left side of the infield. Crews, Nunez, Ruiz going cold all at once. Interesting to see if Crews can pull out of this mini slump, that has lots of strikeouts and little hard contact, or if he falls into another abyss.
