Need the Nats to win to keep my 4-team parlay alive:  Nats, Mets, Mariners (won already) and Dodgers.  Go Nats.  I figure the Braves are tired from beating up on the Phillies over the weekend.

So if Riley Adams married Austin Riley would he be called Riley Riley?  And would he be a switch hitter?

Right throw.  Soto would have gone home and let the runner advance to 3rd with <2 out

So, how many three-inning-at-best pitchers does the team have?

Garcia just misread the throw from Adams, thinking it would carry in the air into the runner and not bounce?

Maybe a bad bounce. Maybe Garcia just sucks at fielding.

Carpenter calling out the silly fans crying about the "jinx" by mentioning a no-hitter in progress. 

Might be the thing I like best about Bob, he refuses to pander to jinx fairy believers.
