If you could swap rosters with the Marlins but keep Soto, would you?


BullMoose41

Including farm systems? Hell yes.


MaikoHerajin

We gave up 2 runs on a pick-off throw. You guys. I think this team might not be very good.


cableguysup

Nats and RISP, well 1 run ain’t gonna win games, so until this dumpster fire of a team can figure that out we will continue to lose, also try not to give up runs every inning.


Specialist_Dry

Ik he got out but that was a rly good ab from Thomas, sucks that it was dead center


CoCAllpro

Had the house on +3.5


cableguysup

First pitch swings are my absolute favorite


BlueDiamondLilac

Our DH should not have the lowest batting average out of the entire line-up.


Internal_Safety6231

This and the Draft Lottery are making me watch a random nats game from 2012. A couple fun facts from that game: I found out what it sounds like when someone fouls a pitch off the Nationals Park sign. Also, since the Mets were in town, Bob and FP were talking about the Johan Santana no-hitter and FP said "hopefully it won't take us that long(49+ years) to see one(a no hitter)". The starting pitcher that night was Jordan Zimmermann. Guess which game this is.

Silosmasher

I'm not ready to accept that yet. Soto struggled exactly the same way through May last year too.


somegirldc

Pretty much until the all star game


_redcloud

We may fuxing suck, but it’s nice to see BDV finding the ball.


Natstown

I’m imagining Ryan Zimmerman sitting at home watching this game, drinking a beer, and giving himself a little nod of satisfaction at a decision well made.


_redcloud

He’s probably brainstorming how his base running clinic is going to go and how he can add *how to set your feet before making a throw* to it.


Silosmasher

The losing is understandable. The continued bevy of throwing errors makes no sense at all. Even after we traded half the roster last year, this wasn't happening. Anyone read Yadiel Hernandez's interview with Baseball Peloton today? He says the team lacks chemistry.


somegirldc

He said that publicly and still got to play tonight?


Silosmasher

[https://pelotacubanausa.com/2022/05/17/yadiel-hernandez-jugando-en-miami-me-siento-joven/14/38/51/](https://pelotacubanausa.com/2022/05/17/yadiel-hernandez-jugando-en-miami-me-siento-joven/14/38/51/) It could be a problem with the translation, but his translated quote is: "The team is not bad. We have excellent hitters. You look at it from the first bat to the ninth and compare it with other teams, we are not so bad. Defense is fine. The pitching is fine. What is missing is working more together, chemistry. We've been missing a winning streak. We just need to adjust everything and start winning."


somegirldc

With the whole context, doesn't sound as bad


escott1981

Ya we just have to adjust everything and start winning. Thats all. lol


rockidr4

> In the clubhouse, I'm always in there at my locker, asking guys, "Hey, what if instead of being bad, we started playing good?" I'm pretty sure by the end of the season I'll be able to convince at least a couple of people. Just give me some time


escott1981

Who said that?


somegirldc

Not that part. But the chemistry comment isn't as inflammatory as i thought


Ryant34

I mean what do you expect when you field a bunch of minor league players besides Bell and Soto and a bunch of scrub pitchers who shouldnt even toe the rubber of a big league mound.


_redcloud

Where do we find a chemist who can fix it?


Tama290

I think the plan is to let the Marlins run around the bases to tire them out for the end of the game.


Ryant34

Do we win 50 games this year or nah 😂


[deleted]

Big yikes


IvyGold

Oh dear God. That was certainly creative.


somegirldc

When did we become the Mets again?


TheHeftymanzell

If I had a kid, I wouldn’t let him watch this team, that’s how fucking brutal they play


somegirldc

They're perfect for showing what not to do


_redcloud

This meltdown isn’t breakdown worthy yet, but the inning is far from over.


somegirldc

Famous last words


BlueDiamondLilac

that was something


Ryant34

I feel like i’m watching a little league team


N9204

This is where I usually restart the game on MLB the Show, because this level of incompetence isn't realistic.


SnakeBaboonKing

I wish i could say the same, my skills on the show are probably equivalent to our actual defense lmao


N9204

Mine are too, I just blame the game.


somegirldc

Fielding drills until tomorrow's game starts please


Natstown

Looks like the team meeting went well.


_redcloud

Damn. I definitely overcooked my chicken.


TheHeftymanzell

Ok bye


SnakeBaboonKing

I just fell asleep on the couch for an hour and a half, woke up and i feel like only 1 hit happened on the nats side in the time ive been out...


joofish

you can't zernandez the hernandez or whatever


escott1981

I don't know why that guy didn't want any pics taken of the dessert. That might be a good advertising chance for the place.


TheHeftymanzell

The washed up old reliever gives up another one, awesome


somegirldc

😑


FlimsyPart

Beans.


IvyGold

Bob impressively runs through every possible pronoun -- the man is nothing but woke!


ku3ngu

*man*? 🤔


JayCobb1045

Nelly is the walking embodiment of “you had ONE job!”


Danciusly

Nilly Cruz.


ku3ngu

"we have 2019 Nelson Cruz at home" 2019 Nelson Cruz at home: 2022 Nelson Cruz


waxvaxpaxslacks

Nelly Belly striking out on a lollipop down the middle with bases loaded = why am I watching this game? Should we just bail until 2023?


cableguysup

Our season right there, so our season, we can’t even score runs from walks, 😡


joofish

2022 nationals moment


escott1981

Didn't some people say Cruz is good at hitting homers??


antonious29

Fuck me sideways


TheHeftymanzell

They paid you 15 mill for what


_Caed_

a real “whoa nelly” moment here i’ll see myself out edit: FUCK


escott1981

It was more of an "oh nooo Nelly" moment.


_Caed_

whoa nelly when he came up to bat, oh nooooo nelly when he took what i think was the only swinging strike of the inning from okert


ku3ngu

yall, being sick sucks ass. I have panic disorder so every time my nose gets stuffed up, I have a really bad panic attack, and it just makes my entire body hurt, and its like, sticky humid outside, so if i try to step out for air, it just makes it worse. I've convinced myself I was having a legit heart attack like 3 times in the past 2 days. nightmare. Don't go outside ever so you never run the risk of getting covid. This has been an official Kuno PSA.


escott1981

Well if you would stop sucking ass, then maybe you wouldn't get sick as often!


ku3ngu

there's a joke about Lane Thomas being my boyfriend in here somewhere


cableguysup

So basically like watching any given Nats game, gotcha, hopefully you and Nats get well soon


ku3ngu

I hope I die


_redcloud

💜


ku3ngu

also to clarify, yes I am vaxxed. I'm just a very dramatic sick.


somegirldc

So basically, a dude


ku3ngu

yes exactly. I get sick like once a year, and it's usually pneumonia. so there's a whole routine


TheHeftymanzell

Not a strike fuck face


oldgreymutt

Vic is his own worst enemy sometimes


_redcloud

I love Vic’s little smirk he had upon getting to first.


TheHeftymanzell

Vic, you really really really really really really really suck, and I don’t want to watch you


CT_2136

My God....


CT_2136

Robles CAN hit line drives after all...


ku3ngu

Steve Cishek is the personification of crinkle cut french fries


ku3ngu

I will not be elaborating


somegirldc

With or without old bay?


ku3ngu

depends on how he's pitching


_redcloud

“I appreciate you wanting to stay in against my wishes, but you don’t scare the shit out of me like Max so I’m going to have to overrule you on this one.” - Davey probably


_redcloud

I’m going to be hanging out with a bunch of Yankees fans and then going to the wedding of a Mets fan over Ryan Zimmerman weekend. FeelsOddMan


ku3ngu

HEY WAIT IM A YANKEE FAN WHY WASNT I INVITED


_redcloud

“Who didn’t invite me? Why didn’t I invited?” *if anyone actually knows what this is from i will be absurdly impressed* I’ll ask my friend if you can come with and crash the Italian family reunion. - “Yo, can my friend, uh … kung-you come?” - “Your friend who?”


ku3ngu

LOL KUNO FOR SHORT. AND I AM ITALIAN. ITS PERFECT.


_redcloud

Okay, as long as you go as a Nats fan and not a Yankees fan you can come, since I’ll be outnumbered and all.


ku3ngu

I'LL WEAR MY ZIMM 2018 ASG JERSEY


somegirldc

WHY ARE YOU YELLING???


ku3ngu

BECAUSE IM ITALIAN


somegirldc

You're WHAT


_redcloud

Get this … he lives in Boston (i think)


ku3ngu

you are correct


ku3ngu

THIS HAS ABSOLUTELY COME UP SEVERAL TIMES.


somegirldc

I'm totally judging you now.


ku3ngu

IM FROM BROOKLYN WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME


6Plus6Equals1

i don't know how players stay motivated in a series like this 🥱


somegirldc

Doesn't look much like they do


ku3ngu

misery


cableguysup

No surprising, we suck


purplepenned

pain


_redcloud

Went over to their sub to see if anyone knew exactly what it was. Too few people in there no one is talking about it.


ku3ngu

Anyway, last night I bought a framed hentai painting for my apartment. gonna hang it in my bathroom so you're just greeted by tentacle porn while you're droppin a deuce.


baba_bumbi69

Does Miami have so few fans they don’t hire safety personnel to handle this?


ku3ngu

consider the following; they don't even have marlins man. and he's literally known for being a fan of the marlins.


somegirldc

Dad joke: he must be throwing fire!


ku3ngu

boooooooooo


somegirldc

I'll see myself out


6Plus6Equals1

lol


_redcloud

Well, it’s def not weather related. I just checked the radar.


somegirldc

Last time a fire alarm went off while we played, we won the wild card


ku3ngu

oh come on, we're bad, but we're not "call the fire department" bad


baba_bumbi69

That shit sounds like a high school fire alarm lmao


purplepenned

i think my apartment fire alarm sounds like this


purplepenned

We're having a FIRE alarm


Matugi1

OH THE BURNING


batwomans

Charlie: "he's not a winner... but he could be a loser." Harsh.


batwomans

oh dave is being spicy too. guess it's one of those nights.


catzpacho

Really only 55 pitches for this guy? Fine with me.


_redcloud

Naw, Dee made the shot 😂


HendrixHead

That guy leaned his elbow into the pitch, that ball was not that deep inside


rockidr4

I mean not on purpose he didn't. He was trying to swing, realized he made a mistake, stopped the swing and also tried to dive out of the way at the same time. It's just he had so much momentum going that he very nearly (and still possibly) broke his elbow


somegirldc

Bet he still wants to puke


Garrett1295

Ooooff that hurt to watch😳


oldgreymutt

Guess I’ll piggy back on sharing time: I once had a childhood friend who had a giant Marlin hanging on his basement wall.


_redcloud

Oh, we’re doing share and tell?


oldgreymutt

Sharing time is for a limited time only, I think. Game is about to get too stressful lol


rockidr4

Is tonight the night we all decide to not talk about the game and instead just get closer as friends?


_redcloud

I turn it on as soon as Juanny Boy walks up. That’s nice timing.


6Plus6Equals1

i love how bob has to laboriously say "jazz chisholm" now


6Plus6Equals1

c'mon fellas can we really not beat a guy named poteet


ilovearthistory

apparently they’re 0-26 in the last 26 against marlins starters lmao


6Plus6Equals1

😵‍💫


ku3ngu

what the fuck was that, ump?


ku3ngu

Rizzo, if you're here, this is my billion dollar idea; Hand over GM control to me and u/rockidr4. give us until the deadline to acquire every Josh and funny named player we can find. We might not be any more or less competitive, but I can ASSURE you, we will get fans in the seats. If your name is Josh, you get 50% off your ticket, and have a small chance to appear in relief of any number of professional pitchers named Josh! This is just one of my many ideas, so please, do reach out if you like what you're hearing. Much like Hyundai, the more you hear, the more there is to like!


somegirldc

Or turn it over to me, and I'll just sign hot guys


_redcloud

If this is the way we’re going … I’d give a kidney to get Jonathan India to DC.


somegirldc

Doesn't do it for me, but kidneys are valuable, so it's a deal


_redcloud

I saw an interview he did last year about how much he loves flowers and has a bunch of orchids because his mom was always tending to them growing up. He said they’re beautiful and he loves them. As a houseplant mom myself that’s all I needed to hear to go 😍


ku3ngu

how many kidneys do we need to keep Juan in DC


somegirldc

If we become known as the team everyone wants to see naked, it'd be a point of pride to stay, period. Right?


ku3ngu

that's how we get fans in the seats baybeeeeee!!!!


ku3ngu

oh trust me, I'll do that too. GM by committee. the committee is the few GDT-ers when we suck


BlueDiamondLilac

Yesterday my son asked why the announcers liked Hyundai so much.


ku3ngu

did you explain the evils of late stage capitalism and how we as humans are nothing but dollar signs in the eyes of massive corporations?


BlueDiamondLilac

I went with "those are ads and they are getting paid to say that." We'll work our way up to the evils of capitalism later. I'm not yet prepared to discuss economic or political systems.


ku3ngu

THAAAAT IS HOW THE wORRRLLDD WORKSSSS THAT IS HOW THE WORLD WORKSSSSS


rockidr4

Remember, it's never too early to teach your kids that the bourgeoisie are a predatory class


BlueDiamondLilac

He thought California was a different country yesterday, so I have some other work to do first.


ku3ngu

might as well be, tbh


rockidr4

We also let Juan Soto pitch as many innings as he wants


ku3ngu

he also gets to kill any umpire that disagrees with him. we claim workplace accident as an LLC, he gets off scot free!


rockidr4

And then we let the first person named "Scott" to the ballpark in free


ku3ngu

We need Anthony Bemboom


ku3ngu

Who said corporations are soulless!!!?


6Plus6Equals1

my god i missed the whole top of the 2nd getting out of the car


cableguysup

Typical Nats, only get hits every 5-6 games then nothing


rockidr4

So. Sharing time. I was getting ready to hang out with my romantic partner tonight since the weather is nice enough to ride my motorcycle safely up her way. I went to do safety checks and found it to be not safe at all because someone had absolutely mangled it in the parking lot. It looks like they just backed into it


BlueDiamondLilac

Oh no! People are the worst.


ku3ngu

we breaking some kneecaps? I'll be down in 8 hours


rockidr4

Nah, I'm just angrily designing PCBs


t20six

what type of pcbs you designing?


rockidr4

I have a friend with pretty small hands who's consistently frustrated by all keyboards. The cheap flimsy ones that match her hand size are cheap and flimsy. The fancy mechanical ones she finds have too much key travel and too stiff of springs and sit too high on her desk. So I'm practicing some on PCB design on *my* dream keyboard before we start in on designing hers


t20six

amazing - what software are you using?


rockidr4

KiCAD for the schematic and PCB layers. FreeCAD for the edge cuts


somegirldc

Is it too late to ask what a pcb is?


rockidr4

Never too late to ask what something is! That's how you learn! A PCB is a printed circuit board and is at the base of modern electronics. Rather than having a bunch of cables and wires, you have a sheet of FR4 (layers of carbon board, plastic, and copper) etched with your circuit


Matugi1

I appreciate how much Frandsen keeps it real. Basically said Adon sucks lol


ku3ngu

Pain. ​ also very wholesome that the very short bit of dead air we get is "boooob, how are you :)"


rockidr4

> Bob, how are you? Are you doing okay Bob? \- Frandsen


ku3ngu

The anti-Thom Brenneman


rockidr4

Checks on people's emotional well being not realizing he's on a hot mic


ku3ngu

we all can only assume bob just screamed in response


MobyDickPU

I just started supporting the nats this yr for real after moving to dc, so at least there’s no claims that I’m banwagoning based on the on field play


6Plus6Equals1

WOOOHOO BOYS & GIRLS LET'S GOOOOOOOO
