I never thought of Sisco as a leadoff hitter, but given his OBP thus far this year, it makes sense to put him in that spot tonight.

Per some articles on the internet this afternoon Hanser Alberto "is getting  a breather "....OK (I guess) ........Lets Go O's

I just heard on the Nats broadcast that Nick Markakis was taken out of the lineup he might have been exposed to COVID. No positive test reported as of yet.

Interesting considering that he initially opted out.

I don’t understand why Alberto isn’t playing. It’s 162 game season, you don’t give a guy “a breather“ after 22 games, especially when he’s blowing away the competition. This is not a fearsome lineup, and although I am not chicken Little, this game has disaster written all over it

[scOtt]

Now THAT'S what I'm talking about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guitar National Anthem! You GO girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Upper Deck John]

Nice rendition of the anthem

Kavis not in the line up? Now we have nothing to talk about.

2 out of 3, three strikeout games lately? He might need a "breather" to regroup and reset.
