I don't know if I've seen Corey Kluber look this hittable since he pitched for the San Antonio Missions

BTW, this isn't even a joke. I was PR director there when he pitched for the team in '09. Was literally our #4 starter

by Michelle Basch

WASHINGTON -- The Nationals host the Chicago Cubs in game 1 of the National League Division Series Friday, and fans at the pep rally shared their predictions.

Werth, Zimmerman offer tale of 2 veterans on last ride together in NLDS
by Dave Preston

WASHINGTON -- Their lockers are both on the far side of the Nationals’ clubhouse. Jayson Werth has that beard and is often outlandish in his postgame interviews, especially with MASN’s Dan Kolko. Ryan Zimmerman is clean-shaven and answers in a much softer, low-key tone. They are two veterans who, despite dressing for games side-by-side, couldn’t appear to be any more different if they tried.
But both have been a part of the Nats’ nucleus since the first playoff run five years ago, and both 30-somethings know their October opportunities are numbered, with this perhaps their last run together.

Strasburg hitting 98mph. I think he's ready

8 pitch first inning for Strasburg. 7 strikes. 2 strikeouts. #Nats

by George Wallace via twitter 10/6/2017 11:37:47 PM
Strasburg needs 8 pitches to blow through the #Cubs 1-2-3 in the first.

by Dave Preston via twitter 10/6/2017 11:38:06 PM
Swing and a miss!

1-2-3 first for Stras! t.co

by Washington Nationals via twitter 10/6/2017 11:38:22 PM
Can't ask for much more out of Stras in the 1st. Offense gets its first shot with the crowd pumped
