Game 1 WPA: Countdown to 100 losses at 99. Nats 1, Mets 3

DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM, Nats fans--DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Mad Max's strong start wasn't enough with Desi's determined hazing, and the Nats drop their season opener. DOOOOOOOOOOOOM!

  • Welcome to the Natstown: Max Scherzer (-13.1%) goes 7.2 IP with 8 Ks, 2 BBs and no ERs. Enjoy your loss, loser!
  • On pace for 162 HR this season: Bryce Harper (+6.9%) is 2-4 with a leadoff solo shot in the 4th to put the Nats ahead for a while (+14.0%).
  • On pace for 324 errors this season: Ian Desmond (-6.8%) should be glad that WPA charges errors to the pitcher, as his calling off of Dan Uggla to drop a pop fly ended up costing the game-losing unearned runs (-6.2%).
  • #ALRWHMTP: Ryan Zimmerman (-6.2%) discovers the in-between hop (FP sez 1B is harder than it looks!), bobbling a Desmond throw that cost the Nats another run and Desmond another error.
  • Also unhelpful: Wilson Ramos (-14.3%) is 0-4 with a K and 4 LOB.
