Nationals @ Tigers, Game 2

[imref]

Nats: RISP: 0 for 9
Tigers: RISP: 8 for 16

Curious: what is the 2012 record with Espinosa and without? I think Espi is a bad hitter, but have a hunch that the team has played worse without him.

35-36 with, 17-19 without.  Not much of an impact one way or the other.  However, Espinosa was a -.6 WAR (only Moore, Tracy and Lombo are worse this year), whereas Rendon is a +.4 WAR (7th best)

Contrary to popular belief, Rendon is not better than Espinosa.

that's true if you exclude hitting from your comparison.

I tried to order Papa John's for lunch today, but they told me the price was doubled since the Nats got beaten so badly

All you get is the dough.

Sucks that this wasn't a four game series, robbed us of a chance to come back and tie these guys and now we don't get another crack at them for three years.

We swept them in May, so we're tied two games a piece
