See previous post about Dmepster being amped and giving up walks (again).

This lineup with the wind blowing in we won't score much so really hope Dempster gets out of this.

[Banedon]

Gameday is in midseason form...showing me nothing.

Gameday Mini is working for me.

 

ESPN gamecast is working, so I'll stay there for this one.

I don't think the wind really matters with this lineup.

GameCenter shows De La Cruz and "Smit" in the bullpen.

[Sosa21MVP]

Strikeout!

[BeerHere]

STEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

[bcl412]

Sweet. Got out of it.

[Sosa21MVP]

Nice Houdini act Dempster. Werth pops to right.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Dempster's got some nice, tight movement on his stuff today. Just no command.

[Hawk4Hall]

17 pitches for Dempster that inning.

Wiggled off the hook

It's also still just the first inning.

[Smack]

Well that ended up much better than I expected. I think he even kept that under 20 pitches.

[C.C.]

yea!

[Sosa21MVP]

Time for Murderer's Row to do some work. =D>

[ctcf]

Thanks, Jayson Werth!

[bcl412]

Didn't know Strasburg played last year.

[Smack]

No runs scored by anyone yet today, three games in the 5th and the Cubs game, no runs in any.

I know this probably reflects my ignorance about these guys but looking at the Nationals roster it doesn't matchup with the hype they've been getting in preseason. The OF looks pathetic.

[BeerHere]

I know the wind is blowing in, but is it in from center, left or right? Can anyone tell?

[JonJayCutler]

Great at-bats.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

Great at-bats.

 

DeJesus took a pitch, what more do you want?

Two of their OF are hurt. Granted, those two are Morse and Ankiel, but they're improvements nonetheless.

[Smack]

Geez guys, make him work.
