No. I’ve just visited once. It was the coldest I’ve ever been in my life.

It's a dry cold though!!   I don't think I could go back and survive a winter though.

It seems the Nats really turned a corner sometime along the way when they decided to put effort and money into having a good bench.  Being able to put in Lind's, Kendrick's, Adams and maybe now Reynolds when guys go down has made for a big swing in the win column over a season.

Hellickson really needs a third pitch.

You should go to San Francisco in the summer...

Well he needs something to get the third time through the order.

Did they give a reason for pulling Helickson?

Two times through. His average-against triples the third time through the order.

We can definitely live with a #5 starter going 5 every game without giving up many runs.

But, it does seem like the other right handers in our rotation are the kind of guys that could help a guy like him develop another pitch.

I don't think he's hit 60 yet. He's terrible the third time through.

Do they normally plug ticket sales for teams on these ESPN broadcasts?

I see Hellickson three only 61 pitches. I noticed that in 2016 he threw about 91 per start. That was his best year in the recent ones. Wonder if they will ramp him up a little more in the future?

Every once in a while, a guy earns a shot.
