Just like they drew it up!

Simon Matthews had a lot to say to Mitchell Parker. Parker listened. And it worked. Got the double play ball he wanted from Cruz. And yet here we are an error later and Mitchell's done.

Of course you did tks!

Question maybe for @mikepetriello.bsky.social ?
Feels like the original strike call should count as a strike "earned," even if overturned by challenge.

Or would that tear a hole in the space-time continuum?

That's a different pitcher right there.

Michael Parker looking like the good Mitchell Parker we once knew.

Mikolas had pitched better than Cavalli did last night.
The K turned into a BB blows.

How does an overturned strike call show up on a catcher's framing score?

Must be the broadcast there, too. We're not getting it on every pitch on Nationals TV.

Nice AB by Brady despite the result.
Nats working these ABs have definitely knocked Keller out of this game.

Goodbye!

You could not pay me to even stand in that batters box.

Are you at Busch Stadium? Haven't seen that at Nats Park.

Washington Nationals Justin Horwitz

I wish the pre- and post-game shows on Nationals TV were a bit longer, but Alexa Datt is doing a great job with interviews that deliver insights from both the clubhouse and the front office.

Has CJ unlocked Soto Mode?

If things were nothing at all like they actually are, they would be different

👀

Sadly Joey Wiemer more effective tonight than most of the Nats arms.

IDK but let's find out!

Why is Lord pitching and not, say, Jorbit Vivas?

Wut is happening.

What's a slugger to do?

Probably smart not to challenge, but that's why we could use real ABS.

Great AB by CJ Abrams!!!

Keibert delivers again!

Another Jacob Young clutch 104mph hit and then Ruiz comes through.

What is in the water?!?

This will be the evergreen post of 2026.

The line is moving!!!

Washington Nationals Jacob Young

Jacob Young another opposite field double, this one at 104mph.

His increased bat speed is one of many fascinating stories for this team this year.

Next Gen Natitude indeed.

Argh.
Garcia smoked that 107 off the bat.

Amazing. I thought Nats fans had it bad with Fridays and Saturdays.

These poor Brewers fans are seeing their new City Connect jerseys (with the curly W cap) for the entire series.
