[Guy Incognito]

6/28: Roark (3-8, 4.27) vs. Nola (9-2, 2.58)
6/29: Feddie (0-3, 5.28) vs. Pivetta (4-6, 4.08)
6/30: Hellickson* (2-0, 2.28) vs. Velazquez (5-8, 4.69)
7/1: Gonzalez (6-5, 3.68) vs. Arrieta (5-6, 3.52)

*not currently listed as the expected starter, but there's this: Kintzler returns, Rodriguez optioned, Hellickson on track


Right-hander Jeremy Hellickson is with the club at Tropicana Field, as well. Martinez confirmed that Hellickson is on track to return for the next available start in Rodriguez’s spot, which would be June 30 at Philadelphia. Hellickson has been on the DL with a hamstring issue.

“Yeah, definitely,” Martinez said. “I know he’s going to throw a bullpen here in between. We definitely think he’s ready to go.”

Going to the old ball yard Saturday. It's our annual big trip, got about 20 people coming.

Yeah, have a great time. Vinnie vs Hellboy. Hellboy usually shows up but he should be rusty and gone by the 4th.

The game is almost an afterthought. We'll get a good 4-5 hours of grilling and drinking in beforehand. So even if they lose, we still have a great time.

One of my favorite days of the year.

Velasquez beat the Nats May 5th, 3-1, going 5, with the help of four relievers.

I'm feeling something in the to range. I'll add my prediction before I head to the game Saturday.

was up in PA last week, so i was able to avoid the nats announcers, will now get that pleasure, hopefully it's not too painful. granted, it can't be worse than when they had Dribble, he was fucking horseshit.

 

[Taddy Mason]

3 k's would have been cooler, but still a nice inning with the shift working perfectly for the final out.

 

[Taddy Mason]

man, kingery has been a huge disappointment thus far.

 

[jvett77]

Wow, that first base ump is a blind tard.

 

[Taddy Mason]

am I wrong in misremembering the scouting reports on the Nola pick that he would be a solid two at best or 3rd on a playoff team? I'm sorry, but this cat is an ace.

Don’t recall those reports, just optimism that we got him. We have a 20-game winning ace. Great watching him get his 10th tonight, assuming our shaky BP gets the final 4 outs with no damage.

I remember that. He was supposedly near his ceiling when he was drafted.

I'm glad they were wrong.

 

[jvett77]

Fat ass Hunter trying hard to blow this. 4-2 now.

 

[jvett77]

Hunter out, Seranthony in.

 

[Guy Incognito]

End it here, plz.

 

[jvett77]

SD throwing at 100 mph. Damn 4-3 after passed ball. One more freakin strike

 

[Guy Incognito]

Don't care about that run, as long as he gets the K.
