I think that is EXACTLY why they are playing a doubleheader. This is the only day off and with 22 games in 20 days the Braves didn't want to lose an off day and apparently neither did the Nats. Makes sense.... an off day is more valuable than playing 2 in one day is detrimental. The Nats broadcast said pretty much the same. According to the players agreement a day off was mandated on Monday

Allard's 89-90 MPH isn't going to work up here unless he has pinpoint control, which he doesn't! All that work to get a run last and it's tied in the blink of an eye. So much for shut down innings.

Like I said, Allard ain't foolin' nobody. He's nowhere near ready to pitch in the big leagues.

Amazing. That lead lasted, what, two pitches? We have to be the worst team in history for holding a lead or giving back runs. grrrrrrrrrrr

I'll be happy if we're tied or only losing by 1 when Allard leaves!

Boy this has the Nats announcers all fired up now. They're the greatest team in the NL once again!

Wow. I remember when we used to hit home runs. Maybe we can quick trade Allard to the Nats so they can put him in against us later. 2-1 bad guys. ~sigh~

Better get Allard out of there. They're teeing off on him.

Allard just doesn't have overpowering stuff. He needs to be sent back down. I just don't see the hype. Maybe he is one somebody would take in a trade piece.

Why are we putting in a pitcher with little experience and subpar stuff in a pennant race? The Nats are thanking the Braves right now for making this move. Gotta' make the Nats earn it. Don't give it to them on a silver platter.

Allard is awful. Hard to believe he pitched as well as he did in AAA.

Allard is awful. Hard to believe he pitched as well as he did in AAA. Looks like a DH loss today unless we can beat Scherzer. This one is about over.

Sticking to my prediction we have a position player pitch by the end of the day. Unless Snit leaves Allard in there to give up 15 runs.
