Appropriately, tonight is Military appreciation
4 free fix with mil ID or some ridiculous deal like that. It was planned well in advance of course, but what better example of American-style stiff upper lip than taking in a ball game? Nice night for it too.

Bumgarner has an era+ of 64 so far

Gorzilla has been stron so far.
Let’s hope he keeps to form and everyone remembers how to hit. LETS GO NATS GO!

It's a perversion of reality/logic
To think that if you’re team is not likely to score many runs, then you should play for the least number of runs.

by Patrick Reddington on May 2, 2011 7:08 PM EDT up reply actions
See how Bixler was playing so deep
Refreshing.
I love RZ, but his fear of throwing the ball away prevents him from playing so deep.
He makes lots of great plays that would be easy if he played deeper. He has the arm strength to gun it over to first, so that is not the issue..
It really is a disservice to his pitchers sometimes.
But he is the gold glover and I am sitting on my couch….what do I know?
The flip side
Zim makes a lot of spectacular plays on bunts/swinging bunts that Bix will not be able to make. I’m fairly certain that’s why he plays shallow like he does.

I'm seriopusly thinking about writing a post on SB commending you for your play by play to the non TV fanbase.
You’re dedicated. It’s great.
That this sort of service to others in the fanbase is rare on SB sites, however, is sad.
It’s like everyone assumes everyone has video.
Probably the same folks who assume everyone else is a guy.

Bixler has flashed some leather at 3rd
Snares that liner for the second out. Burrell down, Huff up, none on, two outs.
I went to the Syracuse Chiefs site to see if there was any short-term callup to be made with Zim out
And yikes the organizational depth at 3rd is atrocious.

Rowand was "cruising back" to center on a play during Randy Johnson's last game at Chase.
By “cruising” I mean “walking”.

I yelled at him to get his head into the game.

Three righties coming up tips the balance
I would have given Gorzo until one baserunner reached, though. The Giants had no answers for him

I kept trying to tell you guys that the Giants are offensively-challenged so far...
and some of their pitchers have been hit or miss.

That's ok.
Sometimes we need teams to throw us a bone so we can boost our egos back up. Besides, slumps don’t last forever. The Nats’ll see your guys in better form in June.

Nats' bullpen is so good
it’s a li’l hard to remember how awful it was a coupla years ago.
But not that hard.
That was quick enough I finished the post game during it...
Gonna go watch a movie or something…it’s so early…

Streaky offense at times + no Ryan, & we're still .500.
The pitching has carried this team, esp. the starting pitching. Amazing since this was seen as the biggest weakness. This rotation may not be full of names, but it’s pretty darn good.
I think we better temper our excitement a bit
The Nats have been fortunate to face a bunch of bad-hitting teams lately. I’d say the schedule is helping the Nats as much as their pitching.

Turned to the game late, it was such a rad coincidence that the Nats were rocking the red white and blue curly W jerseys today.
