Don’t think we will see a getaway lineup with the off day tomorrow.

And on the flip side of that the Nationals have to fly to LA after the game for a series against the Dodgers starting tomorrow. But to be fair it seems like the Nationals have played this entire series with a get-away day lineup.

Hopefully Woody can make it 3 straight nice starts for him. He’s looked better each time out. Don’t think we will see a getaway lineup with the off day tomorrow.

 

With the talent this team has assembled offensively, getaway lineups are a thing of the past. They really don't lose much of anything starting Gamel, Perez or Thames. The only real offensive downgrade is when Grandal gets a breather for Pina, and even Pina has proven in the past that he can be a decent offensive catcher.

Damn! Isn't that nice...

The wife and I will be in attendance! Our first day out of the house since the birth of our beautiful baby girl on 4/18! I'm excited...the wife is a bit nervous I think. Ha.

 

Congrats on your new baby! I can understand her concerns being away from your little one for the first time. I haven't been to Miller Park in several years. Enjoy! :)

I always try to be optimistic as well, but after getting to Scherzer and Strasburg the last couple days, I kinda expect Hellickson to shut down the offense today. He's totally the type of sub-replacement level trash starter that pitches a gem against this team.

At the risk of sounding negative in the middle of a positive part of the season, I agree completely. This is the exact kind of game that we could easily punt.

Get a lead early and let the shadows do their thing.

Losing Turner, Soto, Zimmerman, and Adams (and Rendon on Monday) definitely takes a bite out of their lineup. Great opportunity to pick up some wins against a team while it’s sown.

 

I’m going to the game too and hoping they can generate some offense against a starter not named Scherzer, Strasburg, or Corbin.

Note: If I raise something as a POSSIBILITY that does not mean that I EXPECT it to happen.

The floor at Miller park looks a little dirty. Hopefully we can take care of that today.

Even being the optimist I try to be ... I didn't think we'd be able to get both against MadMax and Strasburg. What a sweet little sweep this would be. Let's go!

 

After the Crew took down Thor and DeGrom, I figured they could take Strasburg and MadMax.

 

It's another successful series, IMO, and a good omen for facing teams in the playoffs.

That'll do. Brewers win 1-0.

Sounds like a little league error from Uke, how bad was it?

 

It was bad. LF looked like he had it easily a few feet inside the foul line (it wasn't a difficult play, just a routine fly) and then it landed where he wasn't, a few feet behind him. He overran it somehow, even though it looked like he was camped under it.
