Won't be able to catch a game until the home opener. Kind of bummed.
Hopefully Bam Bam will stay with the Nats. I don't see it though. Doesn't he have his eyeballs on the Yankees? Sigh.

still think bryce is more likely to resign with the nats than stras, but he obviously wont come cheap
i think that same "student of the game" trait people always bring up as proof he really wants to play in ny or la could keep him in dc, provided the nats stay competitive till its time to talk contract extension. i can see being a one team guy having as much appeal to him as being a yankee. but of course, boras. we'll see.
interesting batting order for today. wont be able to watch the game till tongiht, but im intrigued by harper as a #5 guy.

I was intrigued by Ramos in the #4 spot. Hopefully he'll be back in the line-up soon.
weird game. some classic mets baseball throughout
ramos' hand is a concern, as is harpers head. i guess hes ok, but i really hope hes actually ok and not already repeating last years mistakes. hard to blame him for the collision itself (seemed like a freak play that could have happened to anyone sliding into second) but please don't play the macho card again. no one wants to hear this phrase again, but its only april.
i like how we saw everyones nats debut except fister, and a (somewhat awkward) use of a williams replay challenge, all within one game. all we needed was an overturned home plate collision and wed be fully caught up on 2014 baseball
that lineup has potential. not quite sold on harper hitting that low, but it could work. some speed towards the bottom of the order wouldnt be a bad thing. of course if ramos misses time thatll shake it all up
i think the most promising sign of the game was espinosa's walk. last year that would have been a three pitch strikeout to end the game, last night it was a great at bat that kept it alive to be won. good sign for his bench role going forward
laroche's hr was another huge relief. its just one game obviously, but at least we can tell the swing is there for the time being.

Argh. I hate that we ended up with two threads. Please ignore this post and let this thread fade away….
Thanks for resurrecting my thread.
Is there anything more pleasurable than watching Bryce Cream take a punch to the head and watch the BrylCreem go flying?

Yeah watching the Nats win, Buster Posey not stand up for his pitcher and seeing that cry baby Hunter Strickland being dragged off the field by his teammates.
I can't even talk about that fight because I can't get over that helmet toss….
Hey, if someone pitched that helmet to him he probably would have hit it out of the park.

More like a pansy slap than a punch. Still, no excuse for Bryce failing to land a hit.

I know he's 6'2" and probably had a height advantage, but sort of embarrassing to be 33 and get beaten up by a 64 yr old.
