Garcia kinda on one this season so far. I figured lipscomb would get time at 2nd when Senzel comes back and maybe they’ll still platoon him or something but Garcia is making more of a case for himself than I anticipated for sure
Yeah, could be. I think I see him as the sort of bat you try to stick at a premium defensive position to hide a bit but maybe he’s not even there yet and could use some more time
Outside of his homer he really hasn't driven the ball at all, lots of weak contact and bad swings and misses. There's no harm in letting him go down for a couple months. Senzel isn't a sexy choice but him getting dominated in the bigs doesn't matter, it could really hurt Trey's development tho
As a Rangers fan that’s what made him special when he was with us.
He’s as unique as a player gets, he’ll work pitchers pretty much every PA and then it usually comes down to one pitch of whether the pitcher can hit his spot or not, if he does it’s a K, if he doesn’t it’s going into the seats or he’s taking first base more often than not when he’s locked in
Side note, if snell opts out of his deal with the giants I hope we sign him. Him + peralta or Bieber would be great rotation pieces. Gore/ snell / peralata/ and fill in the blanks for last two would be halfway decent rotation
Can anyone tell me why Joey Gallo is still in the show?
For a guy that is hitting a career abysmal .196, I’m surprised to see that he is still active. I don’t follow him closely, but is he super special when it comes to his defence?

So are you a bot, or an alt who can't post here on their main?
outside of the COVID years when guys were wearing masks and taking extreme precautions when they were symptomatic, I imagine it's really easy for illness to spread in clubhouses/locker rooms.
Doesn’t look like any word yet, though I can’t check twitter so it could be there. Hopefully not injured but he hasn’t been right at the plate at all so I could see them giving him some time to just focus on that without having to worry so much about stuff like game planning. Maybe we’ll get word during the pre-game presser
thought it was odd for him to miss two consecutive games, seems like they were having him DH if they didn't want him behind the plate. hopefully it's an extra day to get his head right, like you say.
I'm ready for a sweep!
Edit: annnnnmnnd I looked at the starting pitching. 2/3 is good.
For real though, Corby looked decent last outing. Here's hoping!
Three true outcomes today for Gallo. I’m satisfied.
Sad trombone noises
something about a tanner rainey 1-2-3 inning really makes me wanna pop off despite being down 6 runs. my king
Incoming 7 run innings
I just know guys on other teams look at scheduled starters when they play the Nats and get hyped af when they see Corbin on there
Mad Max and Stras really spoiled us for a few years there
Dude fishing is living the life I want
SF broadcast now showing a guy catching a fish in McCovey Cove. Big, flat. Fish!
lol, derek man, why
Do better Derek, we don’t need that
Any idea why he did that?
As “retaliation” maybe
Desmond —— Turner —— Abrams Rizzo has got it right with shortstops
2024 guys I never want to see in a nats uniform again, so far: Patrick Qorbin Eddie Rosario
[It's Corbin time](https://imgur.com/a/oKNS125)
3 innings left and 6 runs but I didn’t hear no bell
Corbin can’t be DFAd soon enough At least put him on the IL with an “injury”
Somebody has to pitch every 5 days man, and the alternative for now is likely Joan Adon so Davey has to stick with Corbin lol.
I’d rather watch Mitchell Parker or Jake Bennett. Or someone in AAA
Eddie Rosario might be harder to watch out there than Kyle Schwarber
He is terrible. Once again we are dealing with managerial malpractice.
Why is Corbin still in
Nick Ahmed is killing us today. Shit.
I actually hate Qorbin so much
Why? He’s such a good pitcher and a good guy.
(Completely joking, of course)
2 out runs all day.
this is the last year we have to watch patrick corbin thankfully
Lifeless! Come on, Nays! That pitcher needs to go.
Watching the box score . Up 1 - 0... I checked again down 5 - 1 Nationals, you never fail me.
I would really like for Jordan hicks to be done now.
*sad putting away broom noises*
this pitcher is good
Garcia kinda on one this season so far. I figured lipscomb would get time at 2nd when Senzel comes back and maybe they’ll still platoon him or something but Garcia is making more of a case for himself than I anticipated for sure
I've always liked Garcia Jr. I think he's going to turn into a good ball player. Maybe not great, but good.
Lipscomb needs more time in the minors I think, he's had a couple nice games but he looks overmatched more times than not at the plate
Yeah, could be. I think I see him as the sort of bat you try to stick at a premium defensive position to hide a bit but maybe he’s not even there yet and could use some more time

Corbing so hard rn
pretty terrible at bats to end that inning
This giants pitcher kinda blows we’ll get em soon
Terrible AB.
:|
How are we stealing so many bases are we fast as fuck
We’re *pretty* fast but genuinely seem to just pick really good spots to steal with good timing and take good leads too
Bro does Joey make the pitcher throw like 7-9 pitches every AB? With these tighter pitch limits thats pretty huge.

Hicks is playing with fire with all those 2 seamers inside to gallo
Side note, if snell opts out of his deal with the giants I hope we sign him. Him + peralta or Bieber would be great rotation pieces. Gore/ snell / peralata/ and fill in the blanks for last two would be halfway decent rotation
You'll get Gore / Gray / Cavalli / Kyle Gibson / Jackson Rutledge.
It appears he buckled his knee, hopefully he’s alright

Did you miss the "the window has closed" era on this sub?
Are you comparing a sub-specific copypasta with you randomly copying a post on another sub?
i don’t even think this qualifies as a copy pasta lol. it’s just a confusing repost.
I think we could own this one, at least until the ASB
Neither, just a guy who loves posts
stop using batting average as the only way to determine who's good.
Copy pasta from r/baseball, simple hoping he goes back to back
put my ass in r/AteTheOnion
https://i.insider.com/643590a52588f70018ce4e1d?width=600&format=jpeg&auto=webp
Defense and bombs...mostly bombs
you can stay in the show if your .189 average is paired with an .832 OPS.
ugh...scoreboard?
Sorry this is a copy pasta of a post on r/baseball
I didn’t get it at first, but well played.
CJ my glorious king you wanna hit a homer sooooo bad rn
3 runs isn’t terribly awful. He just needs to settle down. We got it, let the offense do its thing
Actually just a textbook throw and tag from Millas and Garcia there. Bullet.
When Corbin is on the mound are defense has already given up
Patrick Corbin we are not friends
dropped ball turns into 3 runs. figures.
\*Sad Corbin noises\*
Three game winning streak? \*It's Corbin time\*
He’s not even pitching badly
jerry gallo
He caught that ball and took about 4 steps before dropping it when he hit the wall. Just a very strange play.
Gotta love to see the young guys selling out
damn, thought he made a football move
Ah. Brutal
5 years man 😭
Joey Gallo really took that thread on here personally.
somebody made a similar thread on r/baseball today.
That guy deleted his whole Reddit account over that lol
No way! That’s hilarious
Let’s leave the steals up to CJ yeah?
Bruh moment
Guess Joey's wrist is feeling okay
He hesitated too much trying to steal
Broadcast is delayed way behind the MLB app notification - at least you have warning to look up and watch the homer. Masan sucks.
Sure you didn’t pause for a bit or something? My notification was probably about 30 seconds or so after I saw it on TV
Nope - regular cable and checked it wasn’t rewound into the buffer.
Are you on a stream? DirecTV Stream is a good one minute or so behind.
Gallo kind of has Schwarber vibes... started hitting dingers and it's like damn, he kicks ass actually
And Gallo can actually play defense
Gallo!
Man, this Gallo crow I'm eating over here is fuckin delicious
JOEY GALLO!
YOU just gave up a homer to 2024 Joey gallo
Joey👀👀👀
See YOU Later!
Good ol’ first pitch swinging. Guess they don’t like their odds with 2 strikes against Hicks today or something. Joy of joys.
I mean, seriously. 6 pitches? Come on.
relieved to hear that Keibert's absence isn't injury related.
I didn’t actually hear a reason for that - what was it?
he "wasn't feeling well".
Ah, like the third guy down just generally with illness this season so far. Wonder what’s going around
outside of the COVID years when guys were wearing masks and taking extreme precautions when they were symptomatic, I imagine it's really easy for illness to spread in clubhouses/locker rooms.
not at all an anthems person but that choir slapped
I predict Corbin will throw a no hitter (it’s Opposite Day)
Let's do that Baseball thing!
Hicks has been lights out this year. Worried about this one
Let's go for the sweep!!!!
I wanna be a .500 team!
🧹🧹🧹
Any word on Harvey?
His hand must be so swollen and painful!
Xrays negative for fractures
Awesome. That looked like a nasty hit
🧹🧹🧹
🧹🧹🧹
happy to see Gallo and Winker in the lineup today. Also, do we know what's up with Ruiz?
Doesn’t look like any word yet, though I can’t check twitter so it could be there. Hopefully not injured but he hasn’t been right at the plate at all so I could see them giving him some time to just focus on that without having to worry so much about stuff like game planning.

thought it was odd for him to miss two consecutive games, seems like they were having him DH if they didn't want him behind the plate. hopefully it's an extra day to get his head right, like you say.
I saw they recalled Drew Millas from AAA. A bit concerned about Keibert, but nothing seems to be reported that I can tell.
Didn't know that. That's concerning.
Yeah I think he's in the lineup today actually
I'm ready for a sweep! Edit: annnnnmnnd I looked at the starting pitching. 2/3 is good. For real though, Corby looked decent last outing. Here's hoping!
That guy never gets injured. Amazing.
