GDT Jays @ Nats...likely rained out

[flafson]

Any idea which channel shows the first game today? My TV guide doesn't show anything for 1pm.

Zimmerman, Scherzer, Gonzalez. There's a strong chance we don't win a game. Jays fair 'especially' bad vs good pitching. Let's just hope they put Casey Janssen in a couple games... he's a shadow of his former self and his top velocity down nearly 5mph. He's throwing taters out there, will located taters probably, but taters nevertheless.

 

Gonzalez isn't pitching this series. Taylor Jordan is Wednesday's starter (if not needed in relief, otherwise it'd be some AAA scrub.)

[Daniel Labude]

Gibby better hope we win a game or two this series because Houston is next up....the hot seat might be scorching after that series

 

Go Blue Jays!!!!

All 5 of our starters have given up more home runs this season than any of Washington's starters.

 

Pitching > Offense and we're about to get a demo of that.

 

No, we're about to get a demo of what it's like to have an excellent offense and excellent pitching at the same time.

Must have just changed! I checked it earlier and it was Gonza.

MLB.com says Gonzalez doesn't pitch until Thursday vs. the Cubs. Wednesday's starter is TBA.

Don't bet on it. Span is out of the lineup, and Harper can't do everything.. this team was swept by the Reds over the weekend. And that rotation isn't actually that great outside of Scherzer.

 

And Yunel is due for regression.. with a unsustainable .358 BABIP, he's due for a drop. Same for Bryce Harper and his .354 BABIP.. this isn't actually a good team, especially with Rendon, Span and Werth out of the lineup, and no Fister, Strasburg, and others.

Span out for both games?

Donaldson must feel like he's playing with a bunch of has-beens and misfits

Bautista welcome back to RF

[King]

[LTR]

It's never easy for RA

[Jonzo]

Lolabello probably doesnt make that catch

[TheHurl]

Harper is still a fastball hitter mainly. Part of his breakout this season is that he is seeing more. Not to say he isn't a great hitter...I'm still a Bryce will be a HOF'er, but a guy like Dickey is a good match-up for him (at least the first couple times around)
