7/2 @ Nationals Park

[a700hitter]

Scherzer has given up more than 2 runs in a game only once all season.

So much for that.

[Station 13]

Why is Mookie not agressive lately?

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

The three ESPN guys were falling all over themselves laughing about the Scherzer/Porcillo match-up. Baseball IS a funny game.

 

I'm able to get the NESN feed on xtra innings tonight.

[a700hitter]

All three of Porcello's swings looked like a hitter.

Great. And the really good news is that you don't have to listen to the Three Stooges who broadcast for ESPN last night.

Benintendi is, in fact , trending into slump territory. Last 7 days , he is hitting .208, plus 0-2 with 2 K's tonight. That is different than a career decline but it is a slump, which he is prone to do after a strong run. Edited July 2, 2018 by vegasbob

Leon's K should be part of the highlight video for this season. One may never see that happen again.

See no baseball

Hear no baseball

Say no baseball

 

There's even room for a 4th-

Know no baseball.

It's most likely the heavy drinking between innings

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Funny the Nats' fans at the game haven't started booing Harper yet.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Wonder if the Nats' LF will play POR deeper the next time POR's up.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Somewhere Dewey is laughing.

[S5Dewey]

Rule #1: Do not run on Mookie's arm.

Somewhere Dewey is laughing.

 

right here!!

[vegasbob]

Porcello, the cat quick fielder, superb hitter and allower of hits so Mookie-Devers can make outs happen

I swear it is so hard to think ESPN puts those three knuckleheads together on purpose. It is almost like they are insistent on insulting baseball fans. That is at least as credible a reason as some network exec deciding to put them in the booth together intentionally.

[a700hitter]

Murphy was slow before the knee trouble, but now his a cripple. I can tell you that Murphy, who is a great hitter, suffers from HUAD disease. I have seen him make a few stupid outs at 3B when he was with the Mets.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

right here!!

 

That's fine, but I was referring to Evans. Btw, you did pick a good moniker.

I don't think ESPN gives a s*** about the MLB.

[vegasbob]

2 guys hit so far ? Rick P needs to brush back Scherzer next time

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

I don't think ESPN gives a s*** about the MLB.

 

Football and basketball seem to be their thing.

Can't they use one team announcer from each team instead of the ESPN announcers? In baseball, National announcers always suck, because they never know as much about the teams as the fans who watch so many games. At best, they add nothing to the fan experience, and very often, like last night, they are as annoying as heck.

[a700hitter]

And a break on that foul ball.

[a700hitter]

If we get into the Nats pen, unlike the Yankees, they have a bunch of pigs out there.

[vegasbob]

Scherzer throwing on a pace for 100 in 5 innings. Look out bullpen. And Porcello with the only significant hit.

[Station 13]

Holt> Nunez

I thought that the Fox crew the night before did a more than credible job...even better than some of the local crews we see/hear. That was actually a performance they could be proud of. I even posted that night that if the ESPN crew were watching they should just go out and commit ritual suicide out of embarrassment.

[SPLENDIDSPLINTER]

Great at bat by Holt. Really great at bat.

[a700hitter]

Great at bat by Holt. Really great at bat.

I am glad that they didn't give up on Holt after last year's down season due to the concussion.

[Natick to NC]

And Sandy Leon leaving more people on the island than the skipper please upgrade this guy .
