Probable pitching matchups
Monday: Drew Smyly, LHP (2-1, 3.21 ERA, 0.929 WHIP, 3.22 FIP) vs. MacKenzie Gore, LHP (3-1, 3.00 ERA, 1.296 WHIP, 3.51 FIP)

Tuesday: Hayden Wesneski, RHP (2-1, 5.24 ERA, 1.522 WHIP, 6.00 FIP) vs. Trevor Williams, RHP (1-1, 4.10 ERA, 1.291 WHIP, 4.84 FIP)

Wednesday: Marcus Stroman, RHP (2-2, 2.29 ERA, 1.047 WHIP, 3.79 FIP) vs. TBD

Thursday: TBD vs. Patrick Corbin, LHP (1-4, 5.74 ERA, 1.660 WHIP, 5.37 FIP)

NOTE: There have been some reports that Jameson Taillon could be activated for Thursday’s start. If not, it’ll have to be someone else called up from Triple-A (Javier Assad, perhaps) or a bullpen game. Also, it appears possible that former Cub Cory Abbott might be called up from Triple-A to be Washington’s starter on Wednesday.

Abbott is pitching in relief tonight, so he's probably not going to start on Wednesday. Which is a shame, because he sucks.

really need to double down on the Fire Boog movement. He is absolutely awful.

Spent 10 minutes talking about two people that met in the bleachers and might be dating now.

JD - Where'd you come across this, Boog?

Idiot - Oh...i dont know, its just out there on one of those social media sites. TMAC, which site was this from?

Taylor - ... ... ...

Idiot - Whats that new social media site?

JD - Myspace

:lol:

Rookie pitcher with another nice outing.

When Hendricks is ready to come off the IL they have a difficult decision of who he replaces in the rotation.

Thompson struggling and Hughes on IL with Grandpa's quick hook on quality low-pitch count starts will make it hard to have prolonged win streaks. I can't picture Ricketts boosting the payroll much being so close to the luxury tax limit. Hope Grandpa spoke postgame. Should be very entertaining bs.

I think once they know if Kyle Hendricks is recovered enough to sell at the deadline, that would free up a little bit of money.

The corpse of Eric Hosmer(why the fuck is he still on this team) hitting ahead of Wisdom. Ross is still the dumbest manager in baseball

Jesse Rogers on W & S today basically talked about the same exact thing. How puzzling his acquisition was. Silvey brought up how shallow his decent ba is and how his vaunted defense has deteriorated ...all holding up Mervis' progress.

Boog again brought up the MLB '23 surge in home runs. JD agreed that there is. I think JD has thrown in the towel (classic Les -"wave the white towel") and just now agrees with Boogisms. In actuality 6.5% up from '22, down 5.7% from '21, down 11% from '20. Boog, Spiegel, and Levine together would be pure magic.

And when he comes up and sucks as he invariably will or goes 0-4 , you won’t be on here wanting him sent back down?

Name your 26 man roster. The 26 guys you won't reflexively shit on every time they lose. But the reality is that your entire schtick is shitting on everything and everyone like one of Jack Brickhouse's whores.

How about replacing the shitty players with better players?

You got Ben Brown in AAA, who's got upper 90s heat, been unhittable and is on the 40 nan

You still can't name 26 guys who you are willing to not criticize.

And Brown just showed up to AAA last week. Give him 10 starts to see how he adjusts.

Where did I say replace the entire 26 man roster? Your core now is Happ, Seyia(wish we got more power from corner OF though), Wisdom(in doses), Swanson, Hoerner, Steele, Stroman, Taillon, Adbert Alzolay...

Replace the rest

Tinker with the roster all you want and they'll still be around a .500 team. Even with some productivity surprises they don't have any stars or talent depth. Even if there are bullpen guys excelling Grandpa will put in a dud in high leverage situations who gets rocked. This isn't a roster to get too invested in as a fan.
