Spring Training Day 4 Pt 2: The Evidence
Yes you read the earlier post correctly, the Nats won today. TWICE. I was down at the Marlins game and Stammen looked great for 3 innings and was marginal in his 4th, but that comes with it still being spring training. For once this ST, our relievers looked pretty good. Today it was Bergmann, Clippard, Burnett, and Bruney. All pitched well and got Stammen his well deserved win.
Here are the pictures from today:

Spring Training Trip Day 3
Day 3 into the trip and we were at game two of our schedule, vs the Braves last night. We again failed to break into the win column giving up two quick runs in the first with Mock, Storen then came in the 5th and gave up two more, and just for good measure Capps allowed one to just have the hell hit out of it in the 9th to end the game at 5-2. To add to the frustrations of the game, my phone decided to die just after the 5th and my live updates died with it. That won’t happen again.
Pictures are a little blurry this time around with it being a night game.

Spring Training Trip
Made it into Viera Saturday night and the weather has been superb the entire time. I caught the game versus the Cardinals yesterday, as you no doubt saw on Twitter. Our bats were fairly quiet and when we did manage to get runners on base we couldn’t bring them in. We had some not so great moments out of Hernandez, Clippard and Villone, and while I expect Clippard to make the bullpen, things are not looking as good for Villone or Hernandez.
I’ll be doing the live updates from the Braves game tonight starting at 7:05 and will have a more in-depth recap this evening. Here are pictures from the Nats/Cards game yesterday.
