Mr Sutton, the REASON Schneider has a league-leading 42 blocks with a runner on 3rd base is because the Nationals are PUTTING MORE RUNNERS ON 3rd base than most teams!

Yeah, but it doesn't take away from the work required. Sutton wasn't editorializing there. If a hockey goalie racks up a ton of saves it doesn't matter that his team is putting him in that situation. He is still doing the job. To me, it is less a commentary on the quality of Schneider's D (which is excellent) than it is on how much punishment he has taken. All the more reason to allow Flores to see more frequent action - helps the rookie out with development and cuts down on Brian's wear and tear.
