5/5 Dusty Baker's Nats (Ross) @ Cubs (Hendricks) 7:05 PM CDT CSN

[David]

i've seriously hated that oh what a night song since i first heard it. lastella was made for me to hate him.

 

that said, hell yeah tommy!

[BigSlick]

It's kind of hilarious this team is so good that it's made La Stella one of the best players in the league

[Schwarber Fan]

There's nothing number than adding "hits" between a guy's first and last name to create a stupid nickname.

 

FP Santangelo just did it for Murphy.

[David]

lol seriously tho

 

they've got taylor and his like .200 career obp at leadoff while daniel murphy hits 5th?

[Gilby]

Which starting second baseman tonight is more close-minded?

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Not today, Murphy.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

You really need Taylor's speed at the top of the lineup, though. It's not like they have an MVP in the 3-hole that is able to drive guys in.

[Hunter]

Well at least he isn't a base clogger. Dusty approves.

[CubInOK]

LOL George Will is so irrelevant now.

[BigSlick]

Here comes the Ryan Kalish experience

[NonProfitCow]

CF hits leadoff dude.

 

 

 

Really though, only OF have led off for them this year. Taylor or their backup CF's.

[David]

that's what i get for making fun

 

just don't let him score now plz

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Good start for Hendricks. Let's get a dong.

[Tim]

Good start for Hendricks. Let's get a dong.

Just one?

[BigSlick]

I love rooting for Hendricks cuz he always looks like he needs a pick me up and I love a dude who's got subpar stuff but makes it work

dude...i've WATCHED him

 

To be fair to that guy though, maybe that's just a dumb opinion he has? From limited browsing in another thread I found someone saying not signing Heyward was a "bullet dodged" and that guy responded saying

Hahaha sorry to say but he'll be alright and end up batting .290 as usual. I hate it, but it'll happen

 

 

Not to mention he'll win games with his defense alone (like he did in our series)

 

So maybe he's not a complete idiot?

His stuff is pretty good - just slow.

[Aaron_Kennelly]

Good start for Hendricks. Let's get a dong.

Just one?

 

I meant get one, counting just this inning. I'm not too greedy.

[Schwarber Fan]

Wow. Bob Carpenter just referred to Joe and Dusty as "the two best managers to never make a World Series," before catching himself remembering that Joe went in 08. No mention of Dusty in 02...

[bcl412]

This guy not being at 60+ pitches already is stupid!

[David]

what in god's name was that strike 3 call

[BigSlick]

This umps zone is pretty wide, but he's at least giving it to both teams

[Schwarber Fan]

Embarrassing called third.

[Tryptamine]

First team to score wins with this strike zone
