Not their fault, but they went from being at the top of a so-so system like the Twins to a Total System Failure with the Nats.

I assume the guys they got for Soto are NOT at AAA

[USAFChief]

Kepler now Oh-for-forever plus one.

[Aggies7]

Good god, the weak infield pop up with guys in scoring position is somehow more enraging than a strikeout

Certainly due 

Those foul balls certainly indicate a battle, but I can hold my breath for only a little while longer, so hurry up, Max!

[RpR]

I hope Miranda goes for a single and not trying too hard for a home run.

Same pitch 4 times in a row. Get that bat head out there meet it out front and hammer. Late on every one of them he was. He does not look comfortable at the plate right now

Actually CJ Abrams is with them and hitting a robust (checks) .200

[wabene]

Miranda is a keeper

[RpR]

Celestino, oh my; Grand Slam time.

[USAFChief]

Of course that couldn't bounce towards foul territory. Bounces to the SS.

[ashbury]

Welp, there goes Gordon's chance to pad his RBI totals.

[Aggies7]

YOU HAVE THE TAKE SIGN CELESTINO

[Parfigliano]

Double turds!!!

[Aggies7]

Circle that inning. I feel like we’ll be coming back to it

[USAFChief]

Shocking. We couldn't come up with a big hit.

[RpR]

He swang at garbage, oh well.

[wabene]

All up in their pen, starter Rollin, let's go!

[Old time Twinkie47]

Is Urshella hurt?

A team with Nick Gordon batting 5th is hard to take seriously. 

And  Celestino pinch hitting is even harder to ???

He sprained an ankle about a week ago or so. Dunno if that's a factor here.

[Aggies7]

I have serious doubts about my ability to see the end of this game. 2 hours for 5 innings. 

[USAFChief]

Shocked. 

[Aggies7]

Boy it all happens so quickly 

[Rik19753]

They make it look so easy

[Rik19753]

The Dodgers broadcast is oozing with confidence and you can see why. Down 2 runs and they are talking like the game is just getting started.

[Battle ur tail off]

Welp ?

[Aggies7]

We don’t take advantage, they do. Funny how easy baseball is 

[Aggies7]

We don’t have a single starting pitcher that you expect to get past the 5th inning. Not a one.

[Battle ur tail off]

Just. Can’t get a starter to give us more than a few innings a game. I guess that is what happens when you have a rotation full of 3-5’s. Still would like to see one of them step up for a change 

[RpR]

Ah Thielbar, the gent who gave up the drubbing the first game this year.
