No gulps of Schaefer for anyone tonight, but a lot of sips to go around.

[Guest LeiterWagnerFasterStrongr]

Well, TrainingWheels might get a little more'n a sip.

Hey, Bryce. Smart thinking there.

Another assist by Lagares, too.

An old baseball axiom is that you shouldn't make the first or the last out of an inning at third. (I wouldn't want to make any out there).
So, thank you for trying for third ... PUNK!

Is that #12 for Lagares?

Missed the Harper out at third when it happened. Just saw the replay. Hahahahahahaha,Harper you suck AND you're an idiot.

[Edgy MD]

It's a league-leading #12 for Lagares.

Got to start considering him for a Gold Gwove.

[Zvon]

Turner refuses to join the party. That makes him a party pooper.

[MFS62]

Unless the Mets have a heckuva inning, he won't have a chance to score a run in this game.

Nats have a bunch of soft hits and some hard outs tonight - so I guess it all evens out.

This has been a weird season. After the Harvey news I thought whats the point of watching now? But a few of these recent games have been some of the most enjoyable games of the season. Baseball is such a wonderful game.

The post-game interview with Young is cracking me up. It's like he's studied the Big Book of Baseball Cliches and he's spitting out as many of them as he can quickly remember

[Zvon]

Great game.

[Edgy MD]

You should hear Juan Lagares on with Ed Coleman on the radio.
