Maxwell M. Scherzer is having yet another dominant season, on his way to what is almost undoubtedly a Hall-of-Fame career.

 

Randall Asher Wojciechowski is a funny guy.

Another favorable pitching match-up: Wojo against some guy whose name sounds like a breed of small dog. Odd coincidence: the Nats starter has the same name as the Tiger pitcher we beat in Game 1 of the 2014 ALDS. Maybe they're cousins or something.

How many brooms do you think we will see in the stands?

[HowAboutThat]

I’m curious as to why Richie Martin isn’t playing more? Are they trying to showcase Villar at SS For off-season trade value purposes? Jace Peterson has been bad on defense and he doesn’t hit, so I’m curious why he’s at second. I’m actually curious why he remains on the team at all.

All in all, this lineup is not designed to maximize quality defense.

But I’m just here for the pitching. I want Wojo to do well.

Mancini is the only righthanded bat in the lineup

When Wojciechowski first got here, he sat in the 93-94mph range. His velocity had slipped a bit in his last two starts to 91-92. This game, he's 90-91mph. I hope it's nothing, but it slightly concerning.

[Moose Milligan]

Santander has to catch that.

[Sessh]

Command not there, either.

[Moose Milligan]

Wojo ain't an answer.

[Moose Milligan]

He might not make it out of the first inning.

[SteveA]

Nats have hit for the cycle this inning.

[Yossarian]

Just getting here.  I see the Nats have hit for the cycle .......... in the first inning.

[tntoriole]

Hmm..5-0 in the first with Scherzer on the mound for them...oh yes, this is going to go well.   Netflix here I come.
