Harper punishes the ball out to the cheap seats in his first two at bats. Strasburg retired 19 in a row in a shutout. Makes you wonder if the No.1 picks are trying to one-up each other.

If they keep this up, those lofty preseason predictions may just come true.

Damn it's a good time to be a Washingtonian. I plan on hopping on the Metro after work and catching at least 15 games this year.

Went to my first game on Tuesday. Two things happened that I absolutely love as far as being a fan goes (3 if you count two-for-one Tuesdays on hotdogs and soda)

  1. When Paul Konerko hit his three-run HR in the seventh, a Nats fan threw the ball back on the field! I love it! The D.C. fans are really getting behind this team and it's really encouraging to see.

  2. Since Michael Morse started playing Take On Me as his walk-up music, the song has been adopted as kind of a battle cry for Nats fans, and now even after he's gone, they still play it around the 7th or 8th inning and the fans really get into it. There's nothing quite like hearing 25,000 people hitting that note simultaneously. And it beats the hell out of "Sweet Caroline" which had been our forced fan sing-along prior.

And the third sign that we have a franchise that's an emerging threat: Pointless hate from large market fans, and smack talk on the Interwebs.

Love it!

 

They scared that the new kid on the block is now a threat to their comfortable spot at the top.

 

Going to ATL on June 1st for the Nats game. will be my first ever MLB game and looking to go up to DC in August for my birthday for my first game up there.

Fun pitching duel, super sweet ending.  Hope you enjoyed it, eventually I'll get down to Atlanta for a game.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
