GAME THREAD: Nationals (1-1) @ Reds (1-1) - March 31, 2024

Barnes looking for the early season DFA.

P A I N

Is Harvey injured already?

Can a reds fan tell me if this is like the ideal line up or are you guys missing anyone?

Finnegan imploding on a back to back save op, mid season form

This one’s my fault, folks - saw the score when they were up by 2, tuned in to the game, immediately the game was tied. I also tuned in to opening day right before Josiah gave up three runs in the second inning.

For the sake of this team to prevent further curses, I will no longer watch or listen to any more Nats games this season. Good luck ✌️I’m sorry again 😢

Finnegan again

1) get on plane, down 3-1 2) plane lands, lead 5-3 with one out in the ninth 3) …

I apologize to everyone

Are you fucking kidding me

Pain

WHAT HAPPENEDUHHHHH

I try to be understanding about blown saves. Blow a one-run save? Okay. That happens sometimes. Pitchers give up runs sometimes.

Multi-run blown saves are a lot harder to choke down. You needed to get three outs before allowing more than one run. You should be able to do this without that much of a hard time.

Yikes..... was 1 strike away. Then in 3 pitches gives up 3 runs.... I'm sick

So Finnegan can't go back-to-back ever. Got it.

This would haunt the fuck out of me if I were Finnigan. Hope he can put this behind him and not let this affect him down the stretch.

Dang almost had it

And just like that we lost, Jesus finnegan

Well. That was fun up until the last five minutes.

Y’all actually losing your shit over game 3 in a 170 game season lmaoooo

This was a good game until the last two pitches.

Gave the game away

Good series guys, you aren't the same team. Look very good- Reds Fan

The fucking commies boomed us

F this team we only have 159 left

DAMN IT FINNEGAN WHY??

"They were one strike away...on 5 different pitches to India." - Dave, 1067

Finnegan blows

Average Finnegan game in April:

Wow, that one hurts.

Glad I tuned in for the last 5 minutes 😑

major bummer. damn.

I hate this fucking team so much

i mean i was having a pretty good day

Well fuck…

Well that sucked

Has it ever been more over ?

Kill me

Wow. That hurts.

Reds win it.

Well. That sucks.

Oooooooooffffffffffffff

Well . . . . . .

Scrotums. Blown save for Finnigan.

:(

Shit. You could just feel that coming after not being able to put India away.

Lol

😡

Mother fugger

This is what I get for preparing my “Nats are 1st in the division” comment early!!1!1

God damn it

Gonna cry

dude.

Aw shit.

aw nuts

Tying run is at the plate. I'm having a bad feeling about this.

Unbelievable. They've tied it.

DAMN IT

well shit

FUCK

That one is hit deep. At the wall. Gone. HR.

Oof ouch owie my closer

If throw throw 97 fastballs in a row a major league hitter is gonna time it eventually

Whoever's in charge of audio at the Reds' ballpark should be shot. That constant noise is so obnoxious.

Base hit.

Finnegan you genius. Great shout to let it go foul

Battle of the curls here.

When is Martini a FA. Holy shit he can hit

This Reds DH makes me wanna pour myself a cocktail. 🍸

WE GOT MARTINI OUT

Can Finnegan have back to back good games?  I’m nervous.

You got this, Finnegan

KF has the 9th ‼️‼️

Why don’t all teams put NBA sized players in their infield? Are they stupid?

De La Cruz is a giant of a man.

NGL, that was a pretty nifty catch.

Time to clench

What a catch.

No fair! That bat deserved to die a hero

Those long arms bruh 😭

Gall-0for11.

:(

If Gallo hits 25 HRs and plays gold glove caliber defense he can hit .140 for all I care

You guys think Meneses lives in Manasses?

What a pick. Having a decent 1B makes a hell of a difference.

Trey and Joey have been great on the corners so far

Who would be first base if gallo was in the outfield?

Buying a Lipscomb jersey tbh

I was nervous, but they did it.

De la Cruz is so fun but he is a longggg way from stardom, the K rate is kinda gross

Harvey upping the clench factor again 

It’s nice that Vic still gets into games, even when he’s not starting

Could have got more runs there. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite us.

Lane Train just pulled into the station

How can they challenge that Rosario left early? I thought they only had one challenge and they lost it already.

Nobletiger avoided

Lane Thomas snackrifice RBI. Nice.

CJ :(

EV of a million miles an hour but just foul 😭

The see through pants are sooo bad.

i hate these ugly ass boring mismatching uniforms. whoever pulled the trigger on these things deserves to be shown the door

Trey makes me so excited for the future

LIPSCOMB WALK

Bases juiced and no outs for CJ, grand slam inbound

Ngl. Senzel, get ready to learn Chinese buddy.

In previous years I was upset with how many double plays our batters grounded into. Now it looks like the shoe's on the other foot. We're turning lots of double plays and it's making me happy.

We’ve had some RIDICULOUSLY well timed double plays today

Run support PLEASEEE

FLORO MY GLORIOUS KING I NEVER DOUBTED

Let's go D!

That was pretty.

Floro throws a strike challenge: impossible

Please tell me someone is warming.

It’s so over

Damn it, damn it, damn it.

I think he was safe, unfortunately.

Got a badddd feeling about this

The former chemistry minor in me is bothered by the fact our relief pitcher's name isn't spelled "Fluoro."

Odd fact. Cincy has TV showing weather in the bullpen.

Fuck 

Cute, Keibert checking on his fellow catcher

Keibert.. what are we swinging at man

jessie winker: :D

joey gallo: D:

The fact that the Nationals' jerseys are a different shade of gray than their pants is bothering the fuck out of me. I wonder if it's psychological warfare against opposing pitchers.

Man these last two games have been a blast. I have a good feeling this season’s gonna be fun at the very least

Remember that one relief pitcher that had an infinite ERA for a few games to start the season a few years ago?

It's feels like gallO-fer is going to be that new thing

ITS YOUR TIME KEIBERT

Looks like the ump has gotten better on his balls vs strikes game too.

There we go Gallo!! Just stare at that shit.

JOEY GALLO GOT ON BASE🚨🚨🚨

That fog horn is so annoying.

Joey Gall0-

Gallo might get DFA’d before June ngl

Maybe Gallo should take a HBP too. He's kinda hard to miss.

Genius play from the pitcher there, force a Gallo AB

👄🪮

Jesse Winker back to All Star form?

lipscomb is actually him omg

Trey looks so calm out there. Like nothing fazes him.

I'm watching the game on MLB.tv and listening to the WJFK radio feed. It's so much more of a colorful description of the game. They were talking about where Lipscomb's home run ball was. The fan threw it back onto the field, then it was thrown into the Reds' dugout, and then someone told a security guy to go take it to the Nats' dugout.

Well done Mr. Lipscomb. I don't know if Trey was more thrilled or if his teammates were more thrilled for him.

At the game in RF, that one landed two rows in front of me and the bastards tossed it back

What dumb mf wanted Lipscomb in the minors. Future GOAT? NO!!!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Trey Lipscomb is the best player named Trey that we've had since Turner.

Is Lipscomb the greatest player of all time????

Trey. Buy that man a Condo in DC!^tm

Whatever else happens this game, it's a great game for Trey Lipscomb.

LET'S GO TREY!!

build the statue

Got ourselves a new quality 3rd baseman. Hell yeah

Good for him.

Did that deflection hit that fan in the nuts? 😂

OH MY GOD!! Trey Lipscomb you are the man!

What a debut series for the kid!

Hey, this guy Trey is kinda good
