Reds vs. Nationals Weekend Games Thread

[HammerDown]

Just starting to watch the game today on the DVR. Looks like it's Leake vs. Ross Detwiler.

Incredible catch by Leake of Bryce Harper's line-drive back to the mount to end the 1st.

Bryce Harper just went yard. And Jayson Werth has a man beard as usual.

Ugly throw into the stands by Ian Desmond in the 4th. what was that?

My most-anticipated matchup of the young season so far.

God damn I love baseball. It's weird seeing a lineup that doesn't seem to have a weak spot. It's going to be a fun season.

Offense could still be an issue. We need Votto and Bruce to pick up. Paul has been a pleasant surprise, and so far, Choo is looking like the missing piece.

Yea, but we've seen them enough to know that they will pick it up.

Votto, absolutely. But Bruce is getting old enough where we shouldn't have to expect the streakiness. It's time he becomes more consistent

In his defense, streaks usually last weeks at a time. He had a bad 4 games. lets give him some more time.

I don't begrudge early-season slumps. I'd take it easy on the guy.
