    Did you really just end your point with an exclamation mark? I’m so disappointed.

    No chance it happens though.
    I’m betting it’s absolutely what happens. Life itself is a troll job, and baseball even more so.

    O’Day’s arm should be fresh though.

    The Nationals have agreed to a minor-league deal with left-handed pitcher Sam Freeman, according to Mark Zuckerman of MASN. He’ll report to Triple-A Fresno. Though he was a mainstay in Braves bullpens over the last two years, he has only appeared in one big league game in 2019. He could very well get a chance to boost that number with the Washington organization, which has sorely lacked a lefty out-getter this season. In 35 games with the Angels’ Triple-A affiliate, he has a 7.01 ERA over 52 2/3 innings.

    Really wish AA traded for Castellanos, he's been really good on the Cubs.

    MLB shuts down players from playing in Venezuelan Winter Leagues.

    From MLBTR article

    Major League Baseball has decided to preclude affiliated players — both major and minor-leaguers — from participating in the Venezuelan Winter League, according to Jared Diamond and Kejal Vyas of the Wall Street Journal. The move was made in an effort to comply with the economic sanctions imposed by the United States earlier this year.

    More from the same article

    Per the report, the league is engaging with the U.S. government in a bid to understand just what it can and cannot do to comply with the sanctions. Notably, there will be no bar to Venezuelan players who wish to travel back to their home country. But it seems they and others (including, presumably, many players who are not United States citizens) will not be able to participate in game action.
    Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth
    And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings;......

    And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod
    The high untrespassed sanctity of space,
    Put out my hand, and touched the face of God.

    Its amazing just how hot the Nationals have been and they still haven't gained hardly any ground on us despite all of our injuries. Now we are starting to get some of our guys back into the offense and we have a super easy schedule coming up. So its likely not going to be getting any easier for them in the future.

    Magic number is currently 29 with 33 games left to play for us and 35 left for the Nationals. If they went 23-12 the rest of the way we'd have to go 16-17 for them to win the division. Still not totally comfortable, but we are playing pretty good ball despite our injuries. Hopefully we can take care of business against our non-division opponents remaining and lock up the division sooner rather than later.

    5-0 Nats over the Cubs. Thought we might get some help from the Cubs but I guess not.

    Well in reality, the nats need the help, not us. I do get what you're saying though

    We know the Metropolitans are Folty's little bitches so I would go with them.
