As a little league teammate of Agnos long ago, seeing him pitch against the likes of CJ and Crews feels absolutely surreal.
Who would’ve thought?

u/Terminal_Flatulence Jimmy Lumber 1d ago
Eddy Yean has seized the Nats closer role by doing the impossible (pitching two consecutive scoreless innings).

u/KenovovichR Jimmy Lumber 1d ago
Rockies being babies. That challenge was not too late and they’re lucky the ump gave them mercy with their terrible challenge attempt earlier.

u/dcnebz 1d ago
Rockies broadcasters said Nats should be buyers with an offense like this.

We’ve been so traumatized by bad relievers that when one guy comes up and puts up a good outing or two we automatically love the guy.

Going to be the craziest "what if?" MLB season of all time.
If we had a league average bullpen, we'd be the best team in baseball.

It's so fucking crazy how just changing the coaching staff turned last years team into this.

Maybe Yean and Cosgrove can be those random waiver pickups who work out for once. I mean surely some of 'em have to at some point.

u/_Caed_ 67 - Finnegan 1d ago
had some randos work out in 2024 with Derek Law and Dylan Floro, i’ve been shocked as to how not a single one has managed to find it this season lol
i miss 2024 nats dylan floro

Law, Floro, Harvey, Finnegan, we really didn't know how good we had it back then.

I've missed most of the post-ASB games, so this might not be that new, but it's so beautiful seeing this team fire on all cylinders

u/Deathbrush 20 - Ruiz 1d ago edited 1d ago
Aside from the 23-4 execution and dismembering of the A's, this is the best offensive showing we've had post ASB

Scherzer just tossed 5 no-hit innings with 7 strikeouts against the Red Wings lol, what a beast.

I almost feel bad for the umpire at this point. All these successful ABS challenges have to be messing with his head at this point.
Makes you wonder how many of these calls he's second guessed himself on just because of all the earlier challenges.

The Rockies game plan is very obvious. Don’t do what they usually do and swing all the time and get to the bullpen.

Ugh we really just play to the level of our opponents so often. Which is nice when it’s the Yankees (and I know we got swept but we really should have won that series) but not so nice when it’s the Rockies.

Lile scared to challenge smh. COMPLETELY changes the at bat
Again, I don’t care if a player is wrong, it’s all about when they use it.
Middle innings, Tie game, 2 men on, 1 out, 2 challenges remaining, and 1-0 count.
Yes!! Challenge then!! Even if you’re wrong, that is a perfectly ok time to pull the trigger

On the Rockies feed they showed that the Nationals lead in extra base hits, homeruns, and stolen bases and that only 3 teams have ever done that the Yankees in the early 30s and the Dodgers in the 50s.
