- Wasted quality: Tommy Milone (+35.0%) goes 6 IP, giving up neither a run nor a walk and fanning two.
- Bad bunt + bad call: Ian Desmond's (-8.8%) safety squeeze doesn't get quite far enough for the ump to notice that the catcher missed the tag (-13.2%).
- SHARK ATTAAAAAACK! Roger Bernadina (+28.1%) jacks a three-run shot for lead (+39.8%).
- FAIL relief is FAIL: Doug Slaten (-13.1%) puts on the first two batters he faces in the 7th without getting an out, then Tyler Clippard (-25.0%) coughs up the tying HR (-33.6%).
- CLUTCH (which still doesn't exist): Ryan Zimmerman (+36.8%) singles in the go-ahead run in the 10th (+36.8%).
- Just steady enough: Tom Gorzelanny (+13.4%) and Sean Burnett (+10.5%) allow some runners but keep it tied through 9, while Drew Storen (+19.4%) works around a leadoff double to save the win.

Putting our best foot forward..
acomak:
#nats Game 2 lineup: Desmond SS, Werth CF, Zimmerman 3B, Morse LF, Gomes RF, Espinosa 2B, Marrero 1B, Ramos C, Detwiler P
That's a pretty awful defensive outfield
Would prefer someone other than Gomes out there, but other than that it is one of the best lineups all season.
Aim for the head baby Jesus
I was just hoping that Werth's legs are healthy
because he’s going to do a lot of running. Then again, this is probably the best park in the NL for that defensive alignment…

For the record, Baseball Reference multi-year Park Factors, AL East, CBP, Nats Park
(Over 100 favors batters, under 100 favors pitchers)
Baltimore: batting 100, pitching 102
Boston: batting 104, pitching 103
New York: batting 110, pitching 108
Toronto: batting 104, pitching 104
Tampa: batting 92, pitching 91
Citizen’s Bank Park: batting 102, pitching 101
Nationals Park: batting 100, pitching 100.
davey actually said he was thinking aboot Shark
Based on at-bats in 1st game, but would probably go w/Gomes (a peek into the spinning gears inside DJs head!)

Damn, that tranny's talkin, ain't it?
…whoa daddy, grind me a pound. Missed Aamco’s Labor Day Holiday Special, but I think they’re still running a $100 rebate on rebuilds.

MarkZuckerman:
#Nats record vs NL East teams: #Phillies 7-8, #Braves 7-8, #Mets 10-8, #Marlins 5-10. They’d be over .500 if they just took care of Florida.
Still plenty of time to win the season series against the Phillies and Braves.
Aim for the head baby Jesus
there is!!!.................woo hoo!!!

AdamKilgoreWP:
You can tell Tom Milone thinks he belongs. “It was actually pretty easy,” he said. “It didn’t seem like I had to try too hard.”
acomak:
Asked what was working best for him today, Milone smiled and said “I would have to say, everything.”
What's that thing that goeth before the fall?
Banana peels, or maybe summer? … I forget.

Well, he's faced the Philly AAA team before
So he was in a comfort zone.
Post game up, next thread scheduled for 6:30, enjoy the nightcap all...
