Nationals @ Cardinals, Game 3

but they didn't score again anyway

It was too late after all that.   It would have been the third out (IIRC).     I think Kingman, er I mean Soto, has come a long way defensively but he still has some head scratching moments.     I keep thinking, "Move him to right."     No particular reason for those thoughts.

If he's not good in LF he will be much worse in RF.

Wasn't there a time when they put the worst fielder in right (other than Clemente  ...   )?    I mean to be told you were the right fielder was the kiss of death when I started in baseball.

He's pretty young. I wouldn't give up on him just yet. As many as he's blown, he's just as many really good plays. (Mind fact.)

I agree but I'm simply over reacting.           Today's loss was a real bummer.

Yeah that's pretty much the case all the way through Babe Ruth baseball. By the time you reach high school ball that's no longer the case.



I wonder how many former right fielders we have here.

I started at third and moved to second.    I wanted to pitch in whatever they called it after Little League.    The coach let me pitch.         That didn't end my career.    What made me know I wasn't made to play baseball was a bunt attempt around 13 years of age.

Max Scherzer?


I played SS.

I played SS.

SS and CF were usually the athletes.     They helped a third and second baseman out  ....   alot.           Nah, my bunt wasn't Scherzeresque.    It was more a matter of the time it took me to get to first base at 90, instead of 60 feet.

These days there's a distance in between. I think they play a year or so at 75 feet. Coulda made all the difference for you.
