There is a flood watch for DC. With the Mets' flight to London after the game (and the Mets returning in July) I don't expect them to wait too long to "bang" this one.

Biggest game in the history of the franchise!

(I called it. No take-backs. No do-overs.)

They're not going to bang the drum slowly?

They're not returning from London until July?

They're returning to Washington in July.

I know, I was being silly...

That’s what I thought he meant too!

A lot of Luis Torrens lately, huh?

Marte is day to day apparently and not in the lineup

Even more Iglesias.

It's not like McNasty's particular problem has been lefthanders, but apparently he's being embargoed against them, and maybe more broadly than that.

Corbin should be easy to beat up on. I know the Nationals pulled a New York Mets by overpaying that overrated veteran way too much money and now they feel obligated to use him, like the Mets keep using Diaz when he's not soaking up a paycheck on the IL, but it still stuns me they've stuck with him this long.

That is to say, he'll probably shut the Mets out 2-0.

Taylor replacing Marte and batting sixth.
Game in rain delay.

Nationals have a reputation for no being transparent in these spots

Well, it is Washington. Meanwhile a UK-bound charter is
warming up on the tarmac...

This will be rained out I believe

There is only a two hour window to play

My WEATHER.COM site tells me precip-free thru 9 PM in DC. Get 'er done!
Any local input?

Let's hope, no time to waste

Or no time toulouse

5:30 first pitch

A site called Mets Pennant Chase says Marte dealing with a right knee issue - he'll be available off the bench.

Ok

Especially not while we're on a La Trek

Batters must be up there swinging tonight

I was hoping at least one Mets starter would make the All-Star team this year. Maybe Severino will be the one.
