Nationals @ Braves, Game 3

Did anyone else notice that it was Clippard by himself warming in the bullpen in case of a tie or go-ahead run(s)?  No sign of Soriano from the way it looked.

Knorr was at the helm. Not a huge surprise.

No, DJ managed today.  He does automatically get a one-game suspension from yesterday's events, but it hadn't been passed down prior to today's game.  Knorr likely manages on Monday.

Thank you Ray for asking why there were no bunts in the first three inning with RISP.  Yes, when you struggle so much in this situation, you have to think outside the box.  What the worst that will happen?  You'll go 0 for 9 with RISP in the first three innings?

Yes!

Nothing illegal about the bunt...especially because other teams have used it to score on the Nats!

The Red Sox just got their first two runners on against Sabathia and the Yankees in the first inning, and they've both scored

Both. Ray is a huge guy and Johnny is (was?) about 5'8". He might be shrinking by now.

I laugh about that every time. It looks like Ray has a  Benjamin Button son.
