It's not NatsNasty, but steak is always fitting.

Me? I'm prepping a spinach salad with beans and canned salmon.

So much for my rios.

I am pretty sure that's not a "colonial wig" but a British judge's periwig.

The incoming player should have priority over the one backing up, right?

Depends on position

A lead!

In this case it was the 3B and the catcher.

I remember seeing Joe Girardi giving a class on how catchers should approach pop-ups, including avoiding backstepping if possible, but I don't recall him addressing communication with the other infielders.

Opted for NCAA volleyball playoffs at Mason. Ohio State versus Penn State. Also a tad warmer

After that inning, Williams is now the 3rd Nats starter with an ERA under 4.

3.5:1 K:BB.

I love that we have the worst fundamentals.

Just challenge

Not enough to overturn

SAFE WITH THE SWIM MOVE

I'm a Call fan, but I have not been impressed with his bunting.

Abrams running the bases like a veteran Nat

That is so much bullcrap
