Gotta love JBJr , did just enough to get the run in. Devers has significant problems sliding, in many instances, and may have hurt himself. Vazquez does nothing with his opportunity
Had Betts and the hitters been a little better coordinated, we'd have a run now. JDM does his part , even though the HP umpire tried to take the bat out of his hand with poor calls.
With 5 innings in the books and a sub 80 pitch count, Erod should get 6 and maybe into the 7th inning . But, need a few runs to get 30 games over .500 on July 4th, keeping the Yankees in the rear view mirror where objects appear larger than they are. Whicjhabout sums up the NYY's
Devers tries to make a play on OH NO a surprise bunt by Severino, the catcher. I guess bunting is the one thing NL'ers just do more often than the HR happy AL.
Pretty much a sleepwalk of a game with a good performance by Erod so far. Matt Grace , as a long reliever today is shutting our guys down about as fast. Looking for that one big inning breakthrough and expand the getaway day record to 17-4 over this season.
3 very good posts today putting our country in a bit of perspective. I was at Arlington National last year for my father's inurnment and it is an beautiful final resting place for those that served. Hope to visit it again next year. Here's to a great day and good game.
It will be 8:05 in the PDT but that's ok, the win will be booked before lunch. Nats about to dive below .500 and become sellers in the great July roster swap.
What it means is you have few things that you must do, and you have all day to do them or whatever you want to do, so you are constantly running around doing stuff or watching the Red Sox
Beni did get a hit tonight, not a slump buster but came at a good time. But that sure looks like one tired young man who will enjoy the day off tomorrow , especially with a morning game scheduled.
Cuevas needs to talk to his BP mates. He only used 13 pitches to get 3 outs from a corpse like Nationals team. That cut his TV exposure by 50% compared to some of the 20-30 pitch relief jobs recently featured.
Amazing to watch a natural talent like Harper really struggling. Definitely brings more empathy for some of our guys when things don't go so smoothly. One of the best is not having great success either. He does have 21 HR's and 50 rbi's so don't feel too bad for the fool. OB and Remy nailed it when they said he will sign for one reason only, the absolute max dollars offered. He has been a horses's ass since high school in Las Vegas.
Certainly have , he should buy a Lotto ticket tonight. Oh, and he pulls Johnson with the pitcher's position hitting in the 6th. Could have dealt with that by running for him in the 4th, just to piss off some here. Cora is a pimp, just like Tataglia.
