What's the Nats division lead up to now?

[thethe]

Garcia pitched in the AL his whole career and in hitters parks at the tail end. I think a haircut of his final few years is appropriate when you put him in our ball park with our defense.

[Dalyn]

I guess you guys didn't see him pitch late last year with the Braves and go toe-to-toe in an elimination game against Kershaw, but I guess we aren't letting facts stand in the way of good ole fashioned hate.

And he didn't go toe-to-toe with Kershaw (even on short rest).

Kershaw = 6 innings, 3 hits, 2 UNEARNED runs, 1 walk, and 6 strikeouts

Garcia = 6 innings, 8 hits, 2 EARNED runs, 2 walks, and 6 strikeouts

A haircut still has him with over a 5.00 ERA.

Monday box (ANOTHER LOSS)

5 run in 9th allowed by Atahualpa Severino in 0.1 IP. Glad we won't have to learn his name. Lamm came on and allowed hit, but damage done. Last run driven in by former top Braves draft pick, Eric Campbell.

Kimbrel shutout inning

Schlosser two IP, 0 H, 1 BB. Told you guys. I told ya. I told ya.

Buchter continues to blow it. 1 IP, 2 BB, 1 H, 1 R.

Gattis (DH) 1-3
Doumit C 1-1, BB
La Stella 0-1, 2 BB
Heyward throws out runner at home for DP

Can't wait for first cutdown day.

Same could be said of Floyd.

Gavin pitched 3 years in Philly. :v

Schlosser is going to make it as a ROOGY, maybe a bit more. He's got the sidearm motion and not surprisingly pretty pronounced splits. Will follow in the Moylan and Gearrin mold. He might have a little more upside given that he has come through the system as a starter.

Freddy also pitched with the Phillies! Amazing parallels.

I loved the Floyd signing. I think he will end up being in our playoff rotation if Wood's innings get out of control.

Hope he has a more successful return than Beachy did.

Matt Kennelly! Note the three pairs of double letters in his name. That's a very auspicious name. We need to call him up along with Atahualpa Severino.

ugh. guess not.

Have they put the magic number up at the park yet?

[Heyward]

lol at Dalyn, holy over-reaction batman.

Garcia as the 5th starter is fine.

[NinersSBChamps]

Have they put the magic number up at the park yet?

Yes. It's right next to OBP...

[NinersSBChamps]

Hope he has a more successful return than Beachy did.

How dare you!?!??

Beachy will be fine. His season ending surgery last season was "just a clean up."

We have nothing to worry about.

I said he sucks, and we have better options. How is that an overreaction?

Isn't his nickname Chief? That oughta count for something.

Like who?

Hale?

Wood who needs to be in the bullpen to watch his innings.
