With Pina starting game 2 after catching game 1, I have to assume Narvaez is hurt. Anyone have info on that?

[TURBO]

and Shaw not starting either game too...

 

what gives?

[Devinep]

It’s not surprising to see Narvaez and especially Shaw sit since the Nats have lefties starting both games.

[sveumrules]

Yeah, think it's just a platoon thing.

 

Omar could get the call to pinch hit once Lester is out then catch a couple two tree innings.

[willie key]

Steal. That lead is huge

[willie key]

And then he gets gunned. Hahahahahaha

 

 

Well Cripes he slowed down. Come on

[willie key]

That would have been 1-0

[Ron Robinsons Beard]

About ready to be done with Keston.

It’s crazy how many hittable pitches he flat out misses

The thing is, a hittable pitch is a hittable pitch. No reason why he can hit those pitches in Nashville but not in Milwaukee. These MLB pitchers aren't blowing him away with anything special.

We need to seriously think about trading for an adequate 1B, even if it’s just a rental.

Green just hit another homer……fwiw

[adambr2]

I said about a month ago I'd trade Hiura to whoever you can for whatever you can still get before it's too late. His value is just plummeting. I think he's a bust.

Generally, it is worth one run unless others were on base.

19 of the 36 players drafted in the 1st round of the 2017 draft haven't even reached MLB yet.

 

Of the 17 that have made MLB, Hiura is one of only 6 players with positive WAR.

 

It's far too early to call anyone from a draft four years ago a bust.

I guess that's why I said "I think", implying my opinion. I realize it is not a fact that I can state with total confidence.

 

The fact that we don't know for sure is why someone would still give up something of value for him and why I'd take it while we can.

[BruisedCrew]

Is anyone going to tell this announcer that the Nationals won the World Series in 2019, not 2020.

[willie key]

Pina. Come on

[willie key]

Schwarber is a brutal fielder

[BruisedCrew]

If you saw the highlight of Tatis 900 foot 3 run HR that tied their game against the Astros, what they didn’t show was that on the previous pitch he hit a foul pop up that should have ended the game. But, the 1B misplayed it and gave Tatis a second chance.

[jason21nl]

Keston just swinging through pitches again

[willie key]

I think he’s safe

[BruisedCrew]

This will probably be reversed.

 

ETA: the way they seem to misapply the indisputable evidence standard when the Brewers are involved I expected a reversal.
