54.00 ERA lol

Yeah, he only gets one more chance.

[HammerDown]

Only possible way to improve this lineup for the Padres in my opinion is to hit Chris Denorfia either leadoff or two-hole. Or make it easy and swap Denorfia and William Venable.

[hokiehi21]

Got no words for how badly the offense is playing.

 

[hokiehi21]

Thank you LaRoche, carrying this team now. 2-run dinger puts the Nats ahead

 

[hokiehi21]

Did i just witness a hit with RISP?!? Lombo singles in Suzuki.

 

[hokiehi21]

MOAR hits with RISP. Zim singles in Span and Lombo. 5-0 Nats.

 

[hokiehi21]

Harper just obliterated a baseball. His 11th dinger.

Let's go Nats! Thank god for the weekend, I can finally watch some games...

 

[apachef4]

Gio struggling to find the zone early.

 

[apachef4]

It amazes me how at times, the best players in the world can have no idea where the ball they are throwing is going to go.

 

[HammerDown]

Burch Smith's ERA just dropped in half from 54.00 after one inning. Will be interesting to see what he can do tonight.

 

[apachef4]

Bryce actually throws to the right base this time. Doesn't matter, ball short-hops Zimmerman and goes into the stands. 2-0 Padres. Walks kill.

 

[apachef4]

Gio gets through the first giving up 2 runs on 25 pitches, only 9 of them strikes.

 

[apachef4]

Hey HD, do they charge for the grassy knoll area in the outfield at Petco?
