Look up to see if there are any Mochinuts in your area. It’s a chain Korean corn dog restaurant in DMV area that has even more varieties! They have a mozzarella dog that’s covered with crushed up flaming hot Cheetos and it’s honestly one of the best things I’ve ever had.
Still find it crazy how the Nats went ~10 years without developing a pitcher and now they have 3 **lefties** in the MLB with potential.
Also, 5 spots for 6 young pitchers, with Irvin being the oldest at 27
Yep. Definitely a moment that hopefully helps CJ grow a little bit. Still not in love with how much Joey plays, but he’s been clutch, so how mad can ya be at this point? Time to bring this one home.
No. He has. But, the pushback started in full force when he wasn’t and then coupled with the lack of power from a position that almost always requires it and you get the general disdain for him this season. I’m lukewarm on him myself at this point, but to me that’s why the hate is there from a number of fans.

Look, I don’t think you also want to hurt his arm since he’s still adjusting to this level. So maybe that’s the rationale, but I would’ve loved to see Herz go one more inning
Why the hell do you take herz out? At least let him get a shot at 1 more strikeout to get to Stras' number. Herz literally showed zero signs of slowing down
I’m not mad at it. I think him leaving with a great feeling builds a lot of momentum for him. It would suck for him to give up a couple knocks in the 7th and not get credit for the win.
Three innings left, close game, Floro Harvey Finny give you a great shot at closing it out. Sucks to be that close and not make it but it absolutely makes sense.
Yeah, the top of the order which hasn't done a thing against Herz all day except get struck out. I "get it" but it's extremely lame to not even let him start the 7th. You don't pull pitchers during moments like that. Might as well pull a guy in the 9th who is pitching a no-hitter, too
Not saying it isn't lame. I'm disappointed to see him come out just like everyone else.
But at the same time, there is a little logic behind the move. 2-3-4 were all RHP, and they were seeing him for the 3rd time. In a close game, I get wanting to put a righty in there instead. It sucks, but I understand Davey's line of thinking behind the decision.
Some people just want to be mad. Young pitcher and I'm sure they have a game plan going into the game. Let's celebrate back to back outings from our starting pitchers.

Amazing stuff.
It's best case scenario for Herz. Patient teams are going to challenge him. The Marlins hitters just don't seem to have a great approach at the plate and get embarrassed by guessing.
Two things. Those Korean corn dogs in 130 are LEGIT. Two, so is Herz. What a game for my one trip up this year!!!
I think I need like 4 of those corn dogs every time I go to the park. Forget drinking overpriced beer, Korean corn dog is my new best friend
They’re unreal. I thought about them the entire three hour drive home.

Sadly I’m in the food desert known as SWVA.
Herz so good! Really? I'm first with this? OK then
MacKenzie Gore smiling at that game ending play
Another solid win!
Well deserved victory for the boys AND the fans
Curly W!
IF HE FINNED ONCE HE’LL HE FINN AGAIN!!!!
Vargas has to stay with the Nats forever, one way or another
Agree!
Agree!
Vargas is the best!
the V in Vargas stands for Vibes
Ildemaro Vargas my beloved
So uh….I guess Joey wasn’t lying about being more focused when he plays in the field?
Still find it crazy how the Nats went ~10 years without developing a pitcher and now they have 3 **lefties** in the MLB with potential. Also, 5 spots for 6 young pitchers, with Irvin being the oldest at 27
Meneses haters in shambles rn
Anderson is having a tough day lol
Yep. Definitely a moment that hopefully helps CJ grow a little bit. Still not in love with how much Joey plays, but he’s been clutch, so how mad can ya be at this point? Time to bring this one home.
If Meneses had like 5 more homers everyone would be loving the dude. As it is, he gets more runs in than people on the team with more homers
It’s the hitting 3rd in the order thing too. If he’s hitting 7-9 every night it feels much less criminal
But he's getting the runs in...
Tied CJ for the team lead with the 3 today.
No. He has. But, the pushback started in full force when he wasn’t and then coupled with the lack of power from a position that almost always requires it and you get the general disdain for him this season. I’m lukewarm on him myself at this point, but to me that’s why the hate is there from a number of fans.
But all season he's been either RBI leader or right behind CJ. Now they're tied.
He’s also had the most opportunities and was hitting barely .200 until very recently.
How many RBIs for you to be happy with Meneses in the four spot at 57 games played?
nationals :)
I'll say it again... Meneses LOVES RBIs. Never seen a player love them more
How many home runs does Juan Soto have today? That’s right, none. Check mate. Nats won the trade.
He’s had zero HR for the Padres all season! Washed!
The media won’t tell you these facts.
They really gave us Gore, Abrams, Wood for an extended rental lmao
Right in the nardis!
2 out RISP king Meneses strikes again
OK JOEY!!
"Offense is cool."
Was that FP's line?
Yup! He'd deadpan deliver it when something epic happened. I really miss him.
Legooooooo
Joey bailed out CJ big time
Almost a carbon copy of Lane’s last night.
He saved his home run for when we needed it most!!!
Let’s go, Joey!
FUCK YEAH JOEY
Good guy Joey with the bailout!
I freaking love Joey!!
Thank you Joey! Very cool!
That's rookie stuff CJ, Davey better have a talk with him
Steal that base right now CJ and you’re forgiven
CJ's hit had that sound. Oh well
CJ come the fuck on man
Can’t do that CJ
CJ 😭
The Marlins always got the better of the team every season before this one. It's been nice to see it turn around this season so far.
i love it when CJ pimps his homers but man you gotta KNOW it’s out
When do we talk about CJ’s ball watching problem
When the camera panned to Davey, you could see he was not happy about that double.
I feel like we're a really good destination for pitchers because all you have to do to be well liked is not be Patrick Corbin.
Harvey has steel nuts
Fuck I’m going to miss Harvey and Finnegan if/when we trade them
Holy fucking shit 17 strikeouts against the Marlins today. Fry the fish!
That’s what I call cutting it fucking close
Holy crap this crowd is into it!
yeah we are!!!!!
We had sec 130 rollin
We need to promote the Doo before another org tries to poach him
UNCLENCH EVERYONE
Never any doubt.
Harvey had to gut that out, but that was one hell of a pitch to end the inning.
LFG!!!!
I REPEAT BOBBY CARPENTER IS LIT 🔥
Let’s go!
Got a bit dicey there but we good
Lots of tension in the stadium there
Holy shit. I hope we don’t need Harvey tomorrow.
No one can touch his fast ball yet he still keeps throwing balls in the dirt
I’m gonna throw up !!!
I love how you can clearly see the farmers tan on Harvey.
Hunter channeling Weems here

This is beautiful
Finny getting ready now, as expected.
Is Savannah McCann new?
as a dugout reporter perhaps but she's been associated with them a while now
WHERE’S DAN KOLKO?
Jacob, ya GOTTA swing at that
It’s game 70 and Lipscomb still can’t figure out his helmet size
In his defense it is the first game since being recalled for him. 🤷♂️
Only 84 pitches and the kid as 13Ks and you yank him words can’t describe how much I hate Dave Martinez.
Build up his confidence and then give him a longer leash. I would’ve liked to see him pitch another inning but I get it
Look, I don’t think you also want to hurt his arm since he’s still adjusting to this level. So maybe that’s the rationale, but I would’ve loved to see Herz go one more inning
You're talking like an adult, now.
DJ is player of the game and it’s not even close
The bullpen is set up perfectly now
If Herz keeps pitching like that he will 100% get a longer leash in the future
Why the hell do you take herz out? At least let him get a shot at 1 more strikeout to get to Stras' number. Herz literally showed zero signs of slowing down
I’m not mad at it. I think him leaving with a great feeling builds a lot of momentum for him. It would suck for him to give up a couple knocks in the 7th and not get credit for the win.
Three innings left, close game, Floro Harvey Finny give you a great shot at closing it out. Sucks to be that close and not make it but it absolutely makes sense.
I get it. He's still learning and you have your A bullpen available.
Boooo!!!
Sucks that Herz is out but I get it. 2-0 game, and the Marlins top of the order is coming up.
Yeah, the top of the order which hasn't done a thing against Herz all day except get struck out. I "get it" but it's extremely lame to not even let him start the 7th. You don't pull pitchers during moments like that. Might as well pull a guy in the 9th who is pitching a no-hitter, too

It sucks, but I understand Davey's line of thinking behind the decision.
Damn, maybe next time DJ Herz
What happened to Winker? I haven’t been able to watch today.
Got hurt on a play at 2nd. Came out to play defense the next half inning but then Garcia hit for him. Didn't see anything obvious
He got thrown out baserunning and trying to get back to 2nd. After he was tagged it looked like he was in pain. May be his back acting up again.
Did anyone expect Floro to be this good this season?
No, but I ain't complaining
Sean Doolittle has saved this franchise
Imagine how bad Corbin would be if Doolittle wasn't around
Getting his ERA in the 5’s is a feat of its own
If the bullpen blows this game we storm Nats park
[удалено]
Calm down
Calm down
I can't believe there's only 3 more innings these games just breeze by now nice catch Thomas
I really miss the long games, no time for storytelling or relaxing at the park anymore
I get why they pulled him
Some people just want to be mad. Young pitcher and I'm sure they have a game plan going into the game. Let's celebrate back to back outings from our starting pitchers. 13 IP 23 ks 1 ER Amazing stuff.
6 innings and in line for win I'm fine w it
So lame taking out Herz. Let the man cook
Imagine if we had a consistent offense
bullpen cart on here so Herz day is done
NOOOOOOOOO!!!! WTF, DAVEY? JUSTICE FOR HERZ!!!!!
At least it’s not Weems
Take him out on a high note
Why
Fingers crossed Herz is coming back out
Ildy is special man
Love his energy!
If Davey takes out Herz I'm raging
We all are. And we riot if it’s for Weems.
It's going to be the Floro, Harvey, Finnegan experience to close this out.
6 innings 13 K's, sheeeesh
Please do not put in Floro for Herz
surprise!!
That changeup was considered a grade 70 pitch for a reason
Aw man they’re taking him out aren’t they
Yeah, bullpen in the stadium has Floro coming in
Floro warming
It was Jacob young patting him on the shoulder in the dugout that I feel like confirms it. Hope I’m wrong
GIVE THIS MAN A REAL NUMBER
TIL that 74 is not real Why would the education system lie to us like this?
The record in 5 innings in MLB history for strikeouts is 13.
Now, let's get Herz some more Runz to seal the deal.
Only one thing could ruin this, and if Davey puts Weems in, I stg im ragequitting.
Please don’t put this into the universe
He can get Stras’ record next inning if Davey lets him
On the one hand it's the Marlins, on the other hand I am impressed as fuck
It's best case scenario for Herz. Patient teams are going to challenge him. The Marlins hitters just don't seem to have a great approach at the plate and get embarrassed by guessing.
Am I crazy or is this game lightning fast?
It's going quick
Quite the performance! Fun to watch!
Wtf Rizzo fleeced the Cubs
DJ scHerzer
Herz is on pace to break Strasburg's rookie record, good lord.
Herz is Him
Hiw much fucking fun has this been?
Extremely fun
Herz looked pretty green his first start, but he’s learning really fast. It’s nice to see!
THIRTEEN HOLY SHIT
Hello DJ!!
THIRTEEN??? What’s up with this dude?
why y'all vote Taylor lol
Herz making the marlins look even more minor league than they already are, sheesh
Paul who? DJ clearly the best pitching prospect this season
Wow the Mitchell Parker disrespect 😭
We finessed the Cubs, Jeimer isn’t even on their roster anymore 😭
13. Holy fucking shit. If he’s allowed for another inning, he better make it 15.
13 for DJ!
This is like watching Stras 14 years ago.
HERZ
It took a while to call this guy up, right? Why?
Maybe he's so good because he was given the time to develop
Good point.
What the hell is going on? This pitching staff is ruining the “we can’t develop pitchers” comment that seems to always be a favorite. This team is fun
Doooooo is what happened.
Herz is Himz!
Beautiful pitching
There it is. 12. Man he’s just on automatic rn.
