BTW, those $1 hot dog are nasty. There's a cart on the way into the park that sells them for $2, and they're good. Well, better anyway.

The 6 dollar beef dog at Nats Dogs is pretty good; much better choice if you didn't bring your own.

More evidence that you would make a horrible manager. Treating Simmons like he's Barry Bonds is moronic, to say the least.

Have you not watched the Nationals play the Braves over the last season plus? EVERYBODY'S BARRY BONDS when a Braves game turns on the Nationals! I don't have to keep putting my hand on the hot stove to know that it's going to burn me.

I accept what is. Putting your hand on a hot stove will burn you. The Braves will beat the Nationals.

WTF! I went to drop a deuce and come back and the braves are hitting again!

Jeeze. Jordan is nasty when he knows the opposing guy isn't going to get a hit. (Like Alex Wood)

Except in that instance your decision would've contributed to the loss. Jordan got out of it without yielding a run. You on the other hand would've given them the tying run.

Let's bet a month's worth of posting privileges that the Nats score again.

TJ doesn't strike enough batters out for my stomach, but he got one when it counted most. Getting it done so far.

His metrics are pretty good though

Yanks Jeter with a couple hits today moving past Paul Molitor and in 8th place all-time

My first time saying it this year....I'm a process person not a results person because you can control the process. You can't control the result.

Based on all the evidence we have from watching these two teams play, there's no way you could have concluded that the Braves weren't going to score a lot of runs that inning. There are few other contests in MLB where the certainty of which team will win is greater than the Braves vs. the Nationals. It would cloud every decision I made, if I was managing the Nationals and we were playing the Braves.

That's a damn good at bat, unlucky not to get a hit for his troubles.

lmao @ "I'm a process person"

I feel like if I was a NL pitcher, that's all I would try and do in my at bats, foul off as many pitches as possible.

You would rightfully be blasted by every baseball analyst in history for walking in the tying run.

Bunting with two outs wouldn't be a very good idea, Bob.

Another fantastic at bat. Good job Sandy.

Neither is intentionally walking in a run with two outs.
