7/20... 2nd half begins - Nats game 1

[Braves1976]

strasburg has been wild or throwing pitches down the pipe a lot. no surprise he gave up a touchdown doing so.

Nats drama is so catty!

Would you say that bloop double is predictive of future success? Do you think the FO sees that as a positive?

What's the cliche--"it'll look line a line drive in the box score tomorrow?" LOL

What’s his babip?

 

[Braves1976]

nats infighting again

The problem is Scherzer is a seasoned professional while Strasburg tends towards the "prima donna bitch" end of the continuum.

Well, I made that comment after the RBI Double, but whatever.

So did I...a bloop double.

I missed his other hit. Was it another bloop?

 

[Freshmaker]

Acuna quite a spark plug

Not sure if you're watching on TV, but by far the best part of that was Acuna standing a few feet from home plate cheering Culberson on. He made the safe gesture when Culberson slid, and the ump was literally looking over Acuna's shoulder as if he was a catcher. So great

Dansby just missed it.

Yeah that was fun to see

He put the ball in play in a gap with a runner in scoring position. That needs to happen more often with this team of late.

I want everyone to remember all this excitement over Acuna batting leadoff after 5 innings. I’ll bring it up when everyone is bitching about it at some point in a couple weeks haha.

i won't be.

The best player should bat lead off.

His first RBI was a bloop/luckily placed double. OTOH it was a good piece of hitting to do with as much with the pitch as he did. Choose your story.

We know you will! We're all counting on it

Freaking Turner. Hate (really love) that kid.

 

[USMA76]

Freaking Turner. Hate (really love) that kid.

He certainly seems to play well against us.

 

[nsacpi]

would be careful with letting Sanchez stay in this one much longer

 

[Freshmaker]

Aaaaand Sanchize immediately gives up a HR. Hoping he doesn't run into anymore trouble and can go 6 tonight
