I'm going to see the Kid pitch tomorrow.

Coming from Rockville, walking distance from Grosvenor station on the Red
Line.

Given cost and time considerations, and this is a weekend 4:10 PM game, what
are the pluses and minuses of Metro vs Driving and parking? I don't have a
parking pass. Metro parking is free. If driving is better, should I look
for a lot at the ballpark, or RFK (do they still do that), or other?

Parking sucked for the last Strasburg start, but it was a weekday and
some of the area garages weren't selling their spaces. I bought a $5
pass for tomorrow's game, in advance, for lot HH on So. Capitol
Street, underneath SE/SW Freeway, just so I don't have to sweat it
tomorrow. It's a 10 minute walk from there.

It should be pretty easy to drive to the Stadium on a Saturday,
parking might be trickier unless you get there early. I've heard good
and bad things about taking Metro.

For the future, lot W is pretty good, it is only $10 and it is very easy
to get back onto 395. Be careful that you don't ding the Jeep Wrangler.

Metro is awesome for going to the game.
Metro sucks big time for going home from the game.
