The importance of hitting the cutoff. Well played, even with the bobble.

For a nanosecond, thought Brooklyn got that.

I am not at all out on him, but seems like endy really doesnt hit the ball all that hard, which was similar to the minors IIRC

It's a shame to see them play decently on the road against MLB's best team, only to come home and make such a miserable effort against the Gnats.

fwiw, Nats are over .500 in 2nd half.

Why is Williams in the bigs? Defense is not great, as a matter fact, Peguero grades better in some metrics.

They've done an incredible job tightening Liover's defense over the last calendar year; They should take the victory lap ad play him at SS full time.

I don't know what he or they did, but he used to make more poor throws to 1B than Cruz.....and no evidence of that anymore.

damn-near had the yips to begin this year. maybe just time and maturity, but really seems to have settled down.

Sometimes just not thinking about the throw is the best medicine lol. Just grip it and rip it, thinking leads to aiming the ball and you lose your natural release point.

I think it comes down to maintaining Nick´s prospect hype and trade value

By keeping Gonzales in AAA, maybe they can fool a team into thinking he will overcome his k issues

I guess that does not explain why Triolo is not getting reps at short though

I think it comes down to The Stoopid.

Andre is a one-time thru lineup guy. And a pretty good one at that. But how many of these types can we keep on a 26-man next year.

In my very limited memory recall, he seems to usually be very good the first time through and the second time is always trouble. You are right, though, that kind of guy can be useful but not as much when we are relying on a handful of them

Need to find a major leaguer to replace TBD. Also a real manager to replace TFM.

Shelton playing his high school 1st and 3rd games.....smh. Glad Reynolds didn't slide into Ruiz and break his ankle like Cruz. Just a dumb play.

Yeah we did, Joe broke for 2nd while Corbin still had the ball looking to draw a throw.

Corbin with a 14.00 era his last 2 starts. You just know he'll dominate us.

I have a feeling we are going to make him look like a cy young candidate for the rest of the night

May not matter, because Andre Jackson just doesn't seem to be very good.

Not only that, but he has two arms and two legs. Just doesn't bode well.
