Rich Hill (0-0, -.--) vs. Tanner Roark (0-0, -.--)
UPDATED TO REFLECT RAINOUT YESTERDAY
How can we NOT beat this guy today? Dodgers pounced first yesterday Friday, drawing first blood in a game that should probably have been put away when it was 4-0. Kershaw started strong but struggled, not having his best stuff by any stretch but gutting it out and getting the win despite some late-inning, butt-clenching drama. Kenley was used for 5 outs so likely isn't available today for relief work but that was Friday so he is probably available.
Blisters aside, Rich Hill has been solid since coming from the A's (1.83 in six Dodger starts). I don't know who the fuck Roark is; therefore, he seems imminently beatable. Taking two from Nats coming back to the Best Coast would be a dream scenario.
This one starts just after the lunch hour early, so plenty of time to get the ales and Bloodys in and pull up a chair! Aw, hell, we'd be drinking early no matter what the start time.

He pronounces it RO-ark. That bothers me. Beat his ass.

fivethirtyeight.com calls this 51-49 (slight edge to Dodgers).
I am still clenched from yesterday
Doug Padilla, Dodgers ESPN beat writer, also thinks the Nats will win today
had a potato that looked exactly like Vicente Padilla this morning. I don't know for sure, but I'm taking it as a omen of victory.
Crappy DC weather. We are postponed my friends until tomorrow at 10am.
A day off for our taxed bullpen and the rally thong. Not the worst thing in the world.
You're just happy to give your chafed um, stuff off Cliffy!
Enjoy your Saturday everybody. Breakfast ball in the AM. Until then.
epic GT pic.
MLB Network for the Cubs/Giants, huh? Saturday baseball was a big whiff in the house of Stubbs
Bob Costas is good at sports stories, but pretty terrible at baseball play-by-play.
Found a solid place to watch in the East Village on Friday, heading back tomorrow.

HERE WE GO
COREY BOMB!
Sweeeeeeet!!!
NIGHT MOVES!
I don't like the way Nats are throwing at our boys. Hot damn Corey answered with a home run. Just like JT did yesterday. You fucks are messing with the wrong team!
Rit Chill great first!
Stuck working the ICU today, strangely all the intubated/sedated patients are watching the game.
OZ: intimate yourself so you can watch too!
Pederson getting a single is HUGE for him.
If Pederson can get in groove from here, that would be important
Charley keeps talking about the temperature as if he is out on the field, rather than in a nice warm press box
I don't have a video feed for this. I'm sad
Let's see Rich Hill swing here! Please no GIDP
Rick Monday'a advice to Hill: "I would stay out of the double play"
That's why Rick makes the big bucks...
"I would go save that burning flag..."
Settle down Hill. Let's get this guy!
Nats just gave their best Dodgers impression. Single, walk, HBP, no runs.
@ Steve...Yeah, gotta give him that. It was pretty darn heroic.
Red Dick drives in Red Jesus!!!
SAFE!!
aggressive motherfuckers! i love that shit!
Loved Turner's slide too.
And now we look like the Nats. GIDP with the bases loaded to end the inning.
blister boy just gave me a woody with that KO on Harper
Double up the woody on the Werth K.
haha
Zimmerman doing a little olé at first allows Hill to go to second.
Speaking of a woody, anyone heard from Rally Thong Man???
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
we're gonna need the rally thong like ASAP
Heart of the lineup due up for us. Let's get those runs back now!
Lead off single for Red Jesus.
Reddick with a bloop single ends Roark's day.
Spanky...Don't you still have the original rally thong? You know the glow in the dark green one that's saggy and crunchy?? You may need to step up here.
Baez time!
(cries)
I hope we get the good Baez today.
Hill couldn't get his pitches down. It killed him.
HK47 guns down Harper at the plate to end the inning.
4-2 Nats going to the sixth.
Thank you Bryce Harper for being an idiot and trying to score on a shallow flyball to left field.
Cmon Agon, make rbi's.
Puig's walk streak comes to an end.
Yaz down looking to end our half of the seventh.
Harper down swinging again.
Murphy drives in Werth. 5-2 now in the seventh.
Our bats are as quiet as this game thread. 5-2 going to the bottom of the eighth.
Down by 3 up against the Nats closer.
Ffffggggg
Well that sucked.
That was some wackass shit, and now we get to face a lefty in game 3. OG Dusty somehow looking like a genius
