0-3 with bases loaded and a walk. Frankly Stott’s fly ball scores a run if Bohm isn’t slow as crap. Marchan is our best player today

I kind of have the feeling they’re gonna bring him along slowly to start next year. We might not see Wheeler until June. That would be just after the eight month mark of end of April or beginning of May. We also don’t necessarily know how he is going to look after having all this. So I thinking out loud, Ranger Suarez becomes more important to try to bring back especially if he’s gonna pitch like he has past two games. I’m not sure you can just trust Walker to be what he is this year and I have a feeling they’re gonna try to trade him anyways. Painter you’re hoping becomes what you think. Wood is likely not going to be ready for another year. Nola is hit or miss this year so that’s also a question of what he’s going to be going forward. You kind of have a need for Ranger Suarez based off what’s happening with Wheeler.

Walker has been fine as a 5th starter this year. Surprising but that's how it has gone down.

Gotta pull Ranger at the right point in this inning.

Ranger excellent today

Does have two hits today. He is due for another hot streak here at some point but sure hasn't shown any signs of it yet.

Alvarado being awful today. Can’t throw strikes consistently. Like Make a crap National team hit you. Instead 2 freaking walks in a row

Thank god for banks getting the double play and only giving up 1 but Turner nearly threw it away.

Hats off to Banks for not only getting out of Alvarado's mess, but also over coming the inept home plate umpire.

Our hitting has been lousy against he nationals bullpen this series. 11.2 IP for the Nationals bullpen in this series and only gave up 1 ER and 4 hits. This is one of the worst bullpens in baseball. That’s absolutely pathetic by our hitters

After this is over they might be one of the best now

Nice to hold on there. Now if only the Braves can finish off the Mets.

Magic number:

That was ugly but got the much needed win. They did their job to win this series now go take care of business against the Mets

With the Mets loss, magic number:

I’d be happy winning 1 of 3. Just don’t get swept. Keeps it at 6 games. We never play well at citi field. Really important that we likely win tomorrow with Sanchez on the mound and luzardo and Walker next two. Not sure you know what Luzardo you are getting. And i don’t fully trust Walker and on Wednesday we haven’t seen McLean before so that’ll be a lack of offense game

Yep, get the one we need tomorrow with Sanchez and go from there

Marsh has been brutal since his 4 hit game where everyone anointed him. since his 4 hit game he’s had 44 PA (41 ABs). His slashes are .146/.182/.171/.353 and a K% of 36.6%

Just is what he is really, a platoon guy at best and an average defender. Nothing special.

It is why that trade irritates me. It would’ve been fine if you didn’t give up a top 75 prospect. Hasn’t been a ton traded over the last 5 years and when they are they get proven studs back. Not platoon players. Doesn’t matter if O’hoppe was good or bad after he left. His value to us was always a high trade chip to bring back an everyday type player.

yeah that dude is a psycopath
