They get 5 innings out of Font they'll be happy. Good that Noah went 8 strong last night.

Yes, though it kind of stinks that they burned swingy Lugo on a one-inning mop-up. Like, why not Bashlor?

This mlb.tv blackout is starting to get old.

Striking out the side against the Mets in order isn't really special and new, either.

My 1st look at Font. Big guy, cool lookto his delivery but you can't be walking the first guy

I go fairly deep on the Kinks and still somehow never heard this one before. Good stuff.

Damn I thought Davis tied it up there

I did too.

But at least Cano didn't give us any such false hopes.

[Fman99]

Wilmer is making me cry this time.

[Edgy MD]

Fooling Nobody Today.

[Lefty Specialist]

So I'm beginning to think that Wilmer Font is not the answer here.

[LWFS]

Font is Comic Sans.



It's like an Italian food festival with this guy-- endless meatballs on plates.

[Frayed Knot]

You don't suppose his wife's name is Arial, do you?

I'm telling you, Gagnon should be in the rotation right now.



I don't know if he's "the answer," but he's sure earned his shot.

[LWFS]

Gagnon has been all Times New Roman since coming in.



All for naught, though, unless we put some runs on these Wingdings.

Hell, he sure hits like one of our starters.



He's been starting in the minors, right?

[LWFS]

He's leaving more over the plate this inning. To the meat of the Nat lineup, no less.



Good pitch to get Kendrick out, though.

[Edgy MD]

Todd Frazier is not like everybody else.

[kcmets]

I like me a quick game now and then but this Cy Corbin dude is redic'.

[Frayed Knot]

Well, this was the one game in the series where the pitching matchup was decidedly NOT in our favor.

Would have been nice if we could have kept it a bit more competitive though.



I do like the fact that the Nats feel compelled to go to their closer -- and, really, their one reliable arm out in the pen -- in a four run game in front of a quick turnaround leading into a day game.

Bring it on Doolittle!

[Fman99]

Was hoping to get one of the bullpen dirtbags here in the 9th.

[Fman99]

That was pretty terrible.



At least Familia looked good.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Game ended when McNeil didn't score on the Davis double.

[LWFS]

Hey-- now we've got the rest of our night for activities!

Yeah, the bullpen did as much as they could to bail out Font. I put this loss on the offense.



McNeil, as confident as he is at the plate with his goofy bat, seems a little out of his depth on the basepaths, which is funny because he's there often enough.



I feel like I was writing that same statement, more or less, about Daniel Murphy 10 years ago.
