Just hoping the weather doesn't negate this game.

Wouldn't surprise me with how things are going.

Nothing would surprise me at this point.

 

[Dalyn]

Thanks Dayln. This one is on you.

Oh, please. It is the 4th inning.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Come on Santana! It's about to rain...

 

[Hulavol]

Oh, please. It is the 4th inning.

Just sayin'.... Ever since you posted that, well.....

 

[Dalyn]

Umpire tightening the zone with rain looming. He wants the Nationals to get out of this one.

 

[USMA76]

Watching LaStella make that play was reminiscent of the dropped fly ball in Seattle. Figures they'd call it an "infield fly" LOL.

 

[Hulavol]

Also, as for the weather, we might have an hour delay, but we will be good. Their one good BP long man is unavailable today due to having pitched heavy innings yesterday.

Now, let's buckle down Ervin and get out of this QUICKLY.

Come on... let's just hurry this up. They'll cancel the thing quick because they hate us and love the Nats. lol

 

[Hulavol]

What a pitch! Take that Roach.

 

[sturg33]

I was convinced that was Harper running into the wall in RF... I'm just so used to seeing it.

 

[Dalyn]

Dirty pitch. Perfect place to get Adam.

Harper ran into a wall? Really?

 

[Dalyn]

Looks like we have about thirty minutes to get this one in.

 

[UNCBlue012]

Good stuff Ervin! Though he picked a bad time to take forever. Lol, let's hurry up and get this one completed.

 

[Hulavol]

Ervin is DEALING. One hit (thanks to Dalyn).

I suggest we swing at everything and get right back to the mound to make sure this one counts.

 

[CyYoung31]

Yes, Braves, this would be the one instance where it would be okay to swing at everything.

 

[Julio3000]

Strasburg's FIP is ace-level but his BTCH is off the chars.

 

[Hulavol]

Yes, Braves, this would be the one instance where it would be okay to swing at everything.

Seems like that is exactly what they just did- especially Ervin. He took two right down Peachtree, and then swung very late at a ball.

With BJ, of course, you never can tell.

Yeah, that's the way it looks on the weather.com anyhow. Its gonna pour for a good while when it does. HURRY UP SANTANA. Pitch strikes quickly.
