I don’t know that I’ve seen a worse throw to 1st at my son’s t-ball games than what Albies did that inning. Geez that was FUGLY and costly.

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Shytty overturn of the call at 1st base

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Dallas Keuchel isn't doing well tonight I wonder if the Braves signed a pitcher who is past his prime

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

4-3 Nationals over the Braves in the 5th inning

 

[GT_EE78]

The Braves need to look into a trade for Oakland A's starter Frankie Montas who is 9-2 with a 2.70 ERA in the offseason. Frankie Montas has been suspended for 80 games for testing positive for a banned substance.

If we can't get him. will they sell the banned substance?

Dallas Keuchel was far from impressive tonight

Matt Joyce is having a great season

Dallas Keuchel was far from impressive tonight

got his butt pounded but didn't walk anyone. maybe the good side will be as an inning eater who takes pressure off the bullpen.
our pen may still need either more or less bull .....

I just hope Dallas Keuchel doesn't wind up being an overpaid dud I have a bad feeling that the Braves may have overpaid for an over the hill starting pitcher

 

[YellowJacketFan2018]

Nationals win 4-3

 

[sidewalkGTfan]

0-9 with RISP....ballgame

 

[FredJacket]

0-9 with RISP....ballgame

Nats were 2-15 with RISP. Both teams failed in that regard. Game coulda/shouda been 9-8.

well maybe, but i can't imagine that he could be worse than Colon/Dickey ...
wait ... (i'm ignoring prior bullpen imaginations)

I hope he doesn't end up another Len Barker or Andy Messersmith

Big one tonight. We need to slow down this Nats streak and take advantage of the Phillies dropping yet another one to the fish. 6 or maybe even 7 strong from Folty would be great
