Why is it a douche question? You’re the one asserting that Eaton is trying to hit a HR as is it were fact when that is counter to everything we know about how he plays.
And how many 1-0 games have the Nats won? When you get a lead off double in the third, you go for more than one run. Especially with the top of your order up.
Go back look at the at bat. I don't know if anybody but Bryce tries to hit a home run, but he isn't taking anything out of his swing to make sure he at least advances the runner.
