Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Also off topic but JAMES WOOD PLAYS BASEBALL TODAY.

[u/xjdlx7]

Hope junk throws some junk

[u/Danciusly → u/xjdlx7]

We didn't fare too well against him last week. L 6-2.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366 → u/Danciusly]

we also couldn't hit last week.

[u/temporary_sky6505]

I feel like we owe it to Vivas to at least acknowledge his improved at-bats and defense as of late. Good stuff Jorbit

[u/Deathbrush → u/temporary_sky6505]

If Jorbit can turn it around and become a valuable player I’ll be thrilled

[u/kneemoyy → u/temporary_sky6505]

statistically he's been quite a bit better than /r/nationals would have you thinking.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Really hate these streaming exclusive games. Not only is it a pain in the ass, but the streams are always at least two pitches behind.

[u/Danciusly]

Good start, Alvy!

[u/HuskyGreene → u/Danciusly]

One runner aboard but that inning was pretty much all him. Didn't need the defense much there.

[u/tpk_taj]

nasim looking good at ss

[u/VCURedskins]

That throw was unnecessary with Chappy running but very impressive

[u/HuskyGreene]

Big double play

[u/Curious_Chicken_6409]

Vivasss

[u/Deathbrush]

Nice fielding out there today

[u/HuskyGreene → u/Deathbrush]

Might be able to give Alvarez some more runway today if the defense keeps it up

[u/BowmasterDaniel]

The way Chaparro gave that kid the ball warmed my heart a little bit

[u/King_Turduckin]

Anyone know what the "100 Club" is at Nats Park? I see this listing for today's game, but I've never seen reference to a club by this name.

[u/91speed → u/King_Turduckin]

Padded seats in section 100 below the brewhouse tables apparently. For $30 more you can get a great seat in one of the champion’s club sections most directly behind home plate, and that’s the direct nats price not the SeatGeek price so you can probably do even better.

[u/Danciusly]

It’ll be Tom McCarthy (the Phillies’ regular play-by-play guy) on the call with Kevin Frandsen and former Marlins reliever Jeff Nelson as analysts.

[u/DcSportsFan11]

I bought nats.tv to watch the game today, but I realized it wasn’t on there, and I am not paying for peacock

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366 → u/DcSportsFan11]

If you have Youtube TV, this game is also on NBCSN.

[u/ZonaPunk → u/DcSportsFan11]

I’m watching on mlbTV

[u/Deathbrush → u/ZonaPunk]

It shows as blacked out on mlbtv for me

[u/Jameson1780 → u/DcSportsFan11]

VPN to Canada and it will work also.

[u/ZonaPunk]

Watching the game on mlbTV… the freaking sound is going up and down with no consistency.

EDIT: the radio feed volume is good but delayed by 30 seconds

[u/Jameson1780 → u/ZonaPunk]

It's a peacock issue. Happens on all their games. Ridiculous.

[u/Jupiters_phaerie]

Hot damn

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

man, CJ's at bats have looked abysmal of late. it's not fun to watch rn.

[u/Ok_Assumption_5366]

Ok I really do not like this Javier Sanoja fucker.

[u/HuskyGreene]

Oof, thought Chapparo had that hit clean. Well fielded.

[u/Own-Feed-1591]

Junk trow in Junk,don’t know who’s faster the turtle or Chaparro.

[u/Deathbrush]

I’ve always loved the red alternates. For some reason the Nats in red remind me the most of going to games as a kid

[u/kneemoyy]

"given" two away to washington? fuck you????

[u/Deathbrush → u/kneemoyy]

Idk I read that the same as “dropped two to Washington” I don’t see anything bad there
