I have a question: How did Abrams score? ESPN is saying thag Ruiz's double scores Abrams, but I dont see how thats possible after Candelario homered

He scored on the Candelario homer. No idea what's up with ESPN. Garrett struck out to strand Ruiz.

Call is 1.0 bWAR this year. Hill was minus 0.3 in just a few games.

"The Nats have dropped another deuce in Chicago"? Phrasing, Bob. Children are listening. Children like me who laugh at puerile humor.

Call takes professions at-bats and has some pop

Everyone drops a deuce. It’s a natural thing. Don’t hide the kids.

He’s not good but better than Hill. Also looks to be a better fielder than Hill and can steal a base. I’d like to see Garrett get most of the games to be honest.

Keibert is a big kid. Should be good for 25 dingers a year.

I think he is just regressing. His BABIP had been very high.
