Seemed like Williams was testing the umpire's zone as much as he was going after the hitters in the top of the first.

Steady fielding by the Nats.

Some hits and a RUN!

Keep the line moving

Wicked line drive by Keibert!

Who needs a third base coach?

And Alex Call with a double to the wall, two more runs.

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #8 on:** May 24, 2023, 07:31:41 pm »

I guess that makes up for some of Keibert's other baserunning blunders.

welch · « **Reply #9 on:** May 24, 2023, 07:36:33 pm »

And four runs!!

Dave in Fairfax · « **Reply #10 on:** May 24, 2023, 08:05:25 pm »

I was going to say that it's good our pitcher didn't immediately give back the runs, as has happened all too often, but I guess it just took him another inning. Still, at least it was only two runs and the lead remains.

Slateman · « **Reply #14 on:** May 24, 2023, 08:13:39 pm »

Boys are hitting

welch · « **Reply #15 on:** May 24, 2023, 08:15:15 pm »

Giving up hard contact. Getting openly frustrated with the ump. Yeah.

No reason for that, Jeimer. None. You can't steal 2nd with a runner standing there. Ugh.

He was pretty decked out in Nats gear in the interview further down the thread. Just came for some games and Soto?

Slateman · « **Reply #23 on:** May 24, 2023, 08:33:11 pm »

Time to pull Williams

GataNats · « **Reply #24 on:** May 24, 2023, 08:35:23 pm »

Wouldn’t have pulled Williams
