Seriously, what is going on here? Nearly a two hour rain delay and there hasn't been a single drop of rain in DC, should be in the 6th inning right now.

Ender putting up an All-Star performance on twitter too.

This No-Rain delay is something i've never seen before!!

Can't. The tarp is dry.
Replying to @enderinciartem
Do a slip-and-slide game with the boys on the tarp!



I seriously think the Nats are doing this because if the rain came in the middle of Gio's start they'd have to use their bullpen for a lot of the game and that wasn't a risk they were willing to take. Chickenshit move.

Can MLB fine the Nationals for this shite? Absolutely ridiculous move to pull. Should be two hours in to the game at this point.

They better receive some punishment for this, absolutely ridiculous situation. To make it worse the Nats have literally provided 0 updates on the situation since they announced there would be a delay.

Their own fans are furious on Twitter due to the lack of updates. I've never seen anything like this.

"threat of rain" delays are idiotic. If the weather is fine when first pitch is scheduled you should play. It should be a major league rule tbh

Starters are heading to the bullpen. No update on start time at this point. It drizzled in DC for a little bit around 9:15 PM... over 2 hours after the game was supposed to be started. frick THE NATS.

Apparently the second time this year they have pulled this shite. Did it on May 11 against the Orioles. Cancelled the game with minimal to zero rain.

What a bullshite at bat by Harper. Watches a 3rd strike go right down the inside of the plate. Umps calls it a ball. Then gets a double two pitches later. fricking ump

I feel like Camargo should be a everyday player at third. Hes young and has a great glove.

I'll be super pissed if Adonis comes back and takes away a lot of ABs from Camargo, or if we continue putting FF at 3rd while Adams regresses to what he really is. Johan may not have a super high ceiling but he's been productive and fun to watch.
