Now two outs but a botched rundown leaves the runner on 2nd w/2 outs instead of on 1st

And it's tied up on an error which wouldn't have happened had they not botched the fucking rundown!

Now way to see That coming.





And now a walk.



Olson up and I'm hoping the Nats can hold them under 8 by the time this inning is over.



Olson Ks.

Well, props to McNeil's physical therapist. His legs sure look healthy.

[Edgy MD]

Tough situation to manage. You don't want to pinch-run for Alonso, but it's the eighth, and he's the tying run.

[The Hot Corner]

It's hard for me to get too upset over the Nationals failing to beat the Braves, when the Mets are failing to take care of business on their own behalf.



They have been (and still are) in a position to control their destiny, but at present it is the Braves, rather than the Mets, that are seizing the moment.

No runner, double steal!!

[Edgy MD]

I forgot to tell Lindor to not swing at the first strike.

[Edgy MD]

Bleier up in the pen.

[Edgy MD]

That's why you don't swing first pitch, Lindy.



Bleier on with the bases loaded. Time to see if he's learned anything.

Take your time, Jeff. Deep breath. We don't need a slam. A single will do just fine. Breathe--and that goes for all of us.

[Frayed Knot]

Braves out in top 9.

Nats with the game on their racquet trying not to go to a tie-breaker.

[bmfc1]

First pitch against a new pitcher. Unbelievable. Awful.

[Edgy MD]

First-pitch swinging is wrong-headed.

ESCOBAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Esco with the hit of the season right there.

[Edgy MD]

And Alonso didn't need no substitute runner!

[Frayed Knot]

See, we don't need pinch runners for Pete.

We could use a designated slider though. He's got the ugliest head-first in MLB.

[bmfc1]

Mattingly didn't bitch about the bad call to Vientos.

Looks like a polar bear, slides like a walrus

Two quick outs on the Nats against Kenley.

Alex Call at bat ...

No, a walrus is more graceful.

Going to the clown car rules in Washington

[Edgy MD]

Diaz' first fastball rung up at 96. Don't know whether that's a concern.



Guillorme, Nido (or a pinchie), Nimmo, and possibly Alonso in the bottom of the ninth.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that one hit 98, which is more in the neighborhood.

[Edgy MD]

And now 99.

[Edgy MD]

Well, that'll do.

[Frayed Knot]

That's domination, homes.

He is probably one of the guys hurt by the rule change years back to prevent collisions at the plate. I have to assume his game plan on plays at the plate was never going to be "slide" under the old rules
