Gonna be Sweeptastic!! - 8/16/26 IGT, Nats @ Mets

[Frayed Knot]

'Crash' Christian Scott faces Jake Irwin in a 1:40 start

Irwin is a 29 y/o Righty whose 5.79 ERA / 1.32 WHIP pretty much mirrors the numbers from his four year ML career overall. Mets got to him for 3 runs on 6 hits in 4 innings back in May. That was the game where the Mets won by scoring 10 runs in the 12th inning (back when we were averaging about 10 runs a week) to eke out a 16 - 7 victory. Irwin pitched one game after that before missing all of June & July. This will be his third game since returning but the first three did not go well (12 Runs in 13 innings).

 

Currently 4.5 out of 4th place!!!

Let’s swat those pesky (g)nats. 
later

[Edgy MD]

We've got Jorge Polanco, after a big hit late in yesterday's game getting the call again this afternoon.  We've got Luis Robert, Jr. making his debut in left.  We've got a well rested Jack Weisenburger.

If that's not a formula for success, I don't know what is.

A perfect first for Scottie.

It would be nice if Carson Benge didn't have to smash into a fence to keep it perfect, but that's the way it went down.

[Edgy MD]

Jorge Polanco is not to be stopped.

[Edgy MD]

A 2-0 deficit is not the plan.

Dammit, Abimelic.

[Edgy MD]

Brady House in unexpectedly good shape!

[Edgy MD]

TORRENSIAL DOWNPOUR!!!

[Frayed Knot]

Luis Torrential ... amirite folks?

[Radar]

Not high average guy but clutch hitter for sure. And so good behind the plate.

[Frayed Knot]

Three Nats runners have scored today (so far): guys who were put on via a walk, via a HBP, and via a walk.

My bad on this one. Only one of the walk/HBP runners scored in the 2nd inning and the walk in the 7th scored as well. The middle of the three WAS runs came via a solo HR

[Edgy MD]

Always nice to see Senga cover first and walk away in one piece.

[Frayed Knot]

Helps to have a 1st baseman who doesn't break the Senga.

Juggernaut!!

[Frayed Knot]

That inning was Sengalicious!

[Edgy MD]

Kodai the Kloser is no longer an experiment, but is kind of a thing.

Oh, and Let's Go, Guardians!!
