Nationals @ Braves, Game 2

[RiotAct]

They did bring it up... even showed an X-Mo replay.  But yeah, wtf

[NatsAllThe Way]

Did he really?

Sucker man also tweeted this.

Auto correct for Zuckerman.

[nats2playoffs]

Going back a couple innings to that ball that hit the ground in front of Bonifacio...Bob and FP didn't really bring it up but Bucknor initially called Harper out. The other umps overruled him.  What the hell is wrong with this guy?

They actually said that CB ran into the outfield and called OUT all the way.

[aBaltoNat]

Yes...Bucknor did. They did show one clip of him giving the out signal.

Nice night by Joe.

I missed it too but I'm not surprised.    This guy needs to be taken off a crew.    I know he won't be but  ....

Zuckerman: Oh boy, CB Bucknor just called Bryce Harper out on a sliding catch by Emilio Bonifacio in left field. Except he didn't catch it. Not close.

Kolko: The ball bounced legitimately a foot in front of Bonifacio. A foot. Unbelievable. Bucknor is eventually overruled by the other umps.

Oh, man...

[NatsAllThe Way]

Must be awkward in the ump green room when Bucknor is there.

[skippy1999]

To be fair Bob and FP initially said it had been caught too

It's gotta be embarrassing for the rest of the crew  ...  on the field as well.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Oh, man...

Good thing there are three competent umps on this crew. It could be Joe West, Laz Diaz and Angel Hernandez

[mitlen]

To be fair Bob and FP initially said it had been caught too

Yeah but they know who Billy Squier is.

[NatsAllThe Way]

Ump number 1:  "hey Bucknor, you see that catch?"

Bucknor: "You're making what for dinner?"

[RobDibblesGhost]

To be fair Bob and FP initially said it had been caught too

Yeah, I thought it was on the ground but maybe they were watching Bucknor. It took Bob a second to figure things out.

Should be safe to let Treinen pitch the 8th

At 10:15, Rendon fouls off a pitch. They cut to the dugout because FP is commenting on Max and Joe talking. Dusty sends the signals and one of them is gesture of being choked / hand around his throat. Pretty sure the D.C. Strangler lives on in clubhouse lore and jokes.

Please, no

Harp on fire

[NatNasty]

Let's go Murph.  Need some insurance for this pen.

Harp on fire

Seems pretty likely that Harper was hurt last year.
