GDT - August 7th, 2018 - Game 1 of 2 - 1:05 @ Nationals

[Tapate50]

did the ball hit the wall?

Not that any replay can show. Enders glove flipped the ball back toward Duvall as it hit the wall.

[Enscheff]

Man Allard is getting hit hard.

[msstate7]

are you going to bring this up every time we play the nats?
i mean we all get soto is having a crazy offensive season for a teenager.

Yes. Will you cry every time?

[jpx7]

That appears to be the ruling although it didn't look that way to me. Chip said they credited Soto with a single.

Home scorer trying to pad his stats.

[Enscheff]

so possibly hitting the wall was irrelevant at that point.

I think the ump just made the call that it hit the wall, and since Soto was out anyways the Braves didn't challenge. Ender's glove was pretty clearly between the ball and the wall...at least to my biased eyes.

Pitch to contact, brah.

[mfree80]

Want to bet the "he isn't used to coming out of the BP" excuse isn't used if Allard struggles?

Name your stakes

Reading comprehension? Not the point I was making. You are so anxious for a fight you are putting words in people's mouths that they are not even saying.

[Super]

i mean, you're kinda crying about the whole thing really. i just don't get pointing it out each time, like you're the only who noticed it lol

[USMA76]

interesting. i didn't think it did either.

There was no clear camera angle to see if any part of the ball touched the wall. It appeared that the wall knocked the ball from Ender's glove but, given the lack of evidence, we'll never know.

I'm okay with the definitive way in which it was ruled because neither side can complain.

[Tapate50]

Pitch to contact, brah.

Exactly. Keep that pitch count low so you can go DEEP.

The last time I pointed it out, I was criticized saying Soto just had a SSS compared to Acuna. This isn't the case any more. I want to see Acuna start cutting down on his Ks like Soto. I hope these comparisons start tilting more to Acuna's favor

[msstate7]

Probably should just go ahead and move fried to the pen if starting creates these blister issues. I'm assuming that's why he's out... walked away a while

[Enscheff]

I wonder...

Is there a forum somewhere out there full of Nats fans complaining about how insanely lucky the Braves have gotten so far this game?

[USMA76]

Nice defensive play by Soto on the short hop. He misses that "stab" and Freeman likely scores.

You don't think the 104 mph batted ball to the ribs had anything to do with it?

[Tapate50]

“Uh oh it’s clouding up, hope they don’t bring the tarp out”

Sick burn Joe

it's still a relatively small sample. what soto is doing offensively is basically unheard of. like literally the best teenage season of all-time. so i'm not disappointed acuña isn't doing the same thing. acuña has been very good for a 20-year old. and i'll still take him long-term.

Great! Now he's a good defender!

I kid. I kid

You should look for it. Take your time

Check out wnff...that board is pretty much the Nats version of this one.
