Nats 2012 Regular Season Thread

[apachef4]

Burnett now pitching for the Nats. Still no outs in the 8th, none on.

 

[apachef4]

Burnett gets the next 3. On to the 9th! Davey should have let Gio pitch that inning, I say.

 

[apachef4]

Harper caught stealing in the top of the 9th, Nats don't score. Clippard on for the bottom of the 9th.

 

[apachef4]

Mets go quietly in the 9th. Nats win! Now 18 games over .500 for the first time this season.

 

[apachef4]

Alright, I won't be making a GDT tomorrow, I'll be at work. Get the sweep, Nats!

 

[Lumbee09]

Love that the Nats were the ones to end Dickey's unbeaten streak.

 

[apachef4]

This will be a small thread, but I just wanted to say...WOOHOO!!! 5-2 Nats win!

I hate it when games start after 7 EDT. I need my beauty sleep.

 

[apachef4]

Gallardo has some big hair.

 

[apachef4]

Gallardo has a stellar first inning, Nats down in order.

 

[apachef4]

Jackson matches Gallardo with an easy 1-2-3 inning. Nice to see Jackson put his first inning struggles behind him these past couple starts.

 

[apachef4]

LaRoche takes the 1st pitch deep to right for a homer! 1-0 Nats!

 

[apachef4]

Besides LaRoche, the Nats don't appear to be seeing Gallardo well so far.

 

[apachef4]

Bernadina walks, Flores gets a hit on a hit and run, Jackson walks. Bases loaded for Lombardozzi.

 

[apachef4]

Lombo triples down the line to clear the bases! 4-0 Nats!

 

[apachef4]

So much for my idea of not seeing Gallardo well...

 

[apachef4]

Harper grounds out to end the inning, 4-0 Nats. The Brewers have a lot of pop, though, can't rest on this lead.

 

[apachef4]

Ramirez and Hart single to lead of the 2nd for the Brewers. Always worry when a pitcher has to sprint around the bases.

 

[apachef4]

Lucroy hits a hard line drive to right. Harper looked like he was going to miss it, but makes the catch and the runners stay at 1st and 2nd.
