Tweeners 6, Nads 1

Netplay, with only a couple of freeze/restarts.  Nads have obviously done something in this or a former life to piss off the X-chart gods.

4/28 - Tweeners 17, Nads 3.  Kevin Pillar blasted Jaime Garcia's first pitch out of the Ball Sack (the first of his 2 homers), creating virtually unstoppable momentum for the Tweeners. Garcia was touched for 15 earned in 5.1. Arenado 4/5, HR, 3 rbi, Cozart 5 rbi, etc., etc.  W - Ray,, 3 inning save for Treinen. 

4/29 - Tweeners 8, Nads 4.  2 more taters and 5 rbi for Arenado.  Schebler hit a 3-run shot. Logan Morrison homered for the Nads.  W - Nova, L - Stroman.

Next 5 in the Hooverdome.

6/20 - Tweeners 7, Nads 4.  2 homers by Barnhart and 1 by Morrison were not enough for the Nads, sabotaged by 2 Morrison errors.  Henry Mancini III led the Tweeners offense with 2 HR and 4 rbi.  W - Anderson, S - Minor.  Stroman took another loss.

6/21 - Tweeners 4, Nads 1.  Charlie Morton took a no-hitter into the 6th, but Chacin was nearly as good, and it was tied at 1 when Arenado hit a 3-run walkoff.  Rosenthal gains the win in relief, Chacin gets the CG loss.

6/22 - Nads 5, Tweeners 3.  Nads break the spell behind a strong outing from Urena.  Almora had a 3-run first inning homer off MadBum and later tripled to drive in another.  Tweeners had the tying run at the plate in the 9th, but Kintzler saved it for Urena.

9/3 - Tweeners 12, Nads 11.  One crazy game.  Tweeners roared out to a "comfortable" 7-0 lead after 2 innings, only to see the Nads score 8 straight.  Tweeners then scored 5 in the 8th, and when Morrison hit a 3-run homer in the 9th everyone had to check their math to confirm that the Tweeners indeed had the most runs.  15 different players drove in runs, headed by Schoop's 4 rbi.  W - Petit, S - Rosenthal, L - Rondon.

9/4 - Tweeners 4, Nads 0.  MadBum threw 8 shutout innings, and was nearly matched by Stroman, but in the bottom of the 8th the game-winning rbi (is that still a stat?) came on a pinch-hit omega by Jorge Polanco, which further extended the inning for Mancini to hit a 3-run insurance homer.  Joe Smith finished up the combined shutout.
