just got back from the stadium

very disappointing performance tonight. Redding not very sharp. Colome lets inherited runners core like it’s his job. no big hits after bunches of little ones. Guzman half-efforted a weak line drive. just disappointing.

Guzman half-efforted against FOUR weak line drives.

Well, maybe a couple of them had some snap. Still, he needed about 2 inches more reach tonight. Those two bases-loaded situations were beautiful, horrible instances of baseball. Why do all our rallies have to happen with two outs? C’mon, Nats!

Chico’s two scoreless weren’t altogether embarrassing at all. His second only took 9 pitches, I think.

You gotta score those two-out runs when you get the chance...

Seems we’re all in agreement about Guzman’s efforts, or at least the appearance of a lack of effort…

Redding didn’t have it. Jesus Colome confuses me…Chico looked alright, still don’t think it makes sense though…
