GDT 9/5/20 - Gnats gonna get F’d in the A!!!

There were people that were begging us to push Fried in reddit, which is amazing given what I saw (which wasn't awful, but still a drop off from his best stuff).

We're likely going to get 33-35 wins regardless of what's going on with SP. More important thing is to get to the playoffs in the best shape we can be in. And that would be with a refreshed Fried.

Pushing him at this point sounds like an excellent plan to give you only 1 effective starter in the playoffs, with that starter being a kid that will have had....maybe 6 starts at most?
 
The Nationals have the highest average in the majors against LHP this year, and we throw two straight lefties out of the bullpen to follow Fried.

Camargo, especially, has been absolute ass on defense. Dude need to go as soon as Ozzie returns. Hell, try Culberson or something. He just hurts us

No idea why Culberson isn't getting more PT and no, I'm not counting as a pitcher [rolleyes]. Don't see how he could be hurting us any worse than Camargo.

Strong inning from Dayton, who I admittedly forget about constantly even though he’s been nothing short of solid

Because of one bad play? The Nats have gotten incredibly lucky on hits.

I'd say it's been more than that play--which did, of course, cost us a run. Add in the botched play at first base plus Kieboom (not the fastest guy on the field) strolling into third on Duvall and you get a defensive effort that's been pretty substandard and a major factor as to why we're trailing right now.

That bunt play to first wasn’t botched. It just landed in the perfect spot and hung up long enough for Freeman to believe he had a shot at it.

The real reason we’re trailing, besides Camargo’s botched DP is because our pitchers are walking bad hitters.

I just thought the play at first base was one that we should've converted into an out. That said, between the weak hits, the walks, and mediocre IMO defense we're losing a game we shouldn't be.
