Nats 2012 Regular Season Thread

[ugafan6612]

It's everywhere, though. There's always a bunch of folks from the opposing team in every stadium; I think half of them are actually from the home town that do it just to piss off the rest of the home fans. I see that at Redskins games all the time, the same guy with 3 different jerseys on throughout the season, always rooting against the Redskins.

to be fair if they're Cowgirls fans they're pretty much everywhere

I'm convinced there is no such thing, just people that don't like football that think stars are pretty.

Hopefully Lannan shows well tonight, they're going to be counting on him late in the season when Strasburg gets shut down.

 

[apachef4]

Harper obviously out of tonights game with a bruised ankle. X-rays were negative.

 

[gobigred]

GO BRAVES!!!

Hopefully Lannan shows well tonight, they're going to be counting on him late in the season when Strasburg gets shut down.

Pitching will be interesting tonight with bullpens being pretty tired and two struggling pitchers coming up to start this game.


Do you think they will really shut down Strasburg if they are right in the playoff hunt?

 

[apachef4]

In the first 5 innings of this series, Washington outscored Atlanta 9-0; in the following 15, Atlanta has outscored Washington 15-1. Not good.

Yeah, it's going to happen. Not even a question. They've done a lot of research, and the way they read it, it's the only thing to do for his long term health. They are going to follow the blueprint they used with Jordan Zimmermann last year.

Speaking of bullpens, this was from Zuckerman on twitter about the Braves options tonight:

@MarkZuckerman

#Nats aren't only ones with burned-up bullpen. #Braves won't use Kimbrel, O'Flaherty or Medlen tonight, acc. to Fredi via @ajcbraves.

 

[apachef4]

Haven't seen any definite go or no gos from the Nats side.

 

[apachef4]

Bourn starts the game off with a beautiful bunt. Bastard.
