Nationals vs Cubs, Game 3

[Elvir Ovcina]

I don’t think Soto is as slow as you think he is.

If your point is you send him if he’s the tying run but hold him if your down by 2, then I think you are way off base.

He's pretty slow, and worse, his first 3 or 4 steps are terrible.  It seems like he's halfway down the line before he gets into gear.

This crap won’t happen next year.

The point is don't run yourself out of a rally. Soto is, every bit, as not fast and as poor as a baserunner as I think he is. He's basically a first baseman playing LF.

No, we won't have Rendon to hit home runs

[varoadking]

Stalking?

Nah...I didn't mind chatting him up, but I didn't want to ask for a picture...

He was very engaging...as I knew he would be...

[GataNats]

Eaton big base hit.  Getting deep into that pen

[Slateman]

So you stalked him

[Scrapple]

That's really, really funny.
It's not, but okay
Yes. He is a bad baserunner. We've already covered this.

But even with a good jump, he's out if Almora doesn't airmail the throw. Still would have held him at third.

Don’t feel bad, I wouldn’t  expect you to know what a “two out lead” is or how to execute it properly. Soto should know but CLEARLY DOESN’T. Pathetic!!!

You send Smokey Burgess with a hit like that down 2 with 2 outs.  100% of the time...unless someone freak'd it up like Soto did...

Perhaps   

[GataNats]

Bad luck

[bluestreak]

Bad luck

No. Rendon sucks. He’s not clutch.

[varoadking]

So you stalked him

Yeah...and he told me you always go home from second on a hit with 2 outs...

[mitlen]

No. Rendon sucks. He’s not clutch.

ARod's got him gone to another team.

[varoadking]

Perhaps   

Smokey at one time held the record for pinch-hit hits...

[bluestreak]

That was a good effort by Trea.

[Mathguy]

So do some DC sports writers

ARod's got him gone to another team.

[mitlen]

Smokey at one time held the record for pinch-hit hits...

Loved me some Smokey.

[Elvir Ovcina]

They scored that an error...wtf...

[mitlen]

They scored that an error...wtf...

[varoadking]

Loved me some Smokey.

He was a beloved member of the White Sox too...

[Mathguy]

It was changed

They scored that an error...wtf...

[Slateman]

Time for a new reliever

[Slateman]

ARod's got him gone to another team.

ARod would know
