Nobody interested in nats today?

**Fire in da hole** · 07-17-17, 09:27 AM

I assume that hey would be avail

**teaserpleaser** · 07-17-17, 09:36 AM

Yeah I'm just going to play it and hope at least one is available

That's pretty much the nats A lineup

Looks good to me

I was looking at the nats last night as well.

The trade was made fairly early yesterday, so no real reason why the pitchers wouldn't be available.

This is a good question. Would be nice to get first-hand knowledge on travelling notes for these guys.

I believe MLB rules permit a player 3days to report to new team.

They won't be available per MASN sports. Will be joining the team Tuesday. Said b/c the game was early there wouldn't be enough time to get them ready

Good info, Jimmy.

Nationals should win today. But last time I went against Feldman he pitched a gem.

Joel Youngblood. Interesting story. He played for Mets against the Cubs during the day and got a hit in the 3rd inning. They then pulled him and traded him. Then flew to Philly to play for Expos vs. Phillies. Got a hit in the seventh .

Good trivia.

I wanted to pound but think I will not...

The Nationals are looking to complete a four-game sweep at the Reds Monday afternoon with Stephen Strasburg on the mound. Strasburg is coming off his second career start with zero strikeouts. The first came against the Reds in Cincinnati in 2015. Strasburg has a 6.75 career ERA at Great American Ball Park, his second-worst at any venue he's pitched multiple times at (7.20 ERA at Coors Field).

Got it, Otters. I knew it Youngblood.

But my memory seemed to indicate that he was traded mid-day and flipped sides in middle of double-header. Fact that he got hit, got traded, got on plane and made it in time to get another hit...pretty amazing.
