This baserunning is awful
I blame Williams because it's fun.

I also blame Williams for needing to brief additional managers at my work and the lack of a decent corned beef sandwich near my office.

In all seriousness, I would not be surprised if this was his last start in DC as a Nat. Trade coming.

You think another team wants Williams? As a long reliever?

Is it possible for this team to score a run that it does not immediately give right back?

I suppose it is, once in a while.

I'm with you.

:w:

Bedtime at the start of the second delay.

Hoping Joey is just a post-all star game player.  Love to see him get to 15 HRs.

As for Williams, I think he can be a back end starter for a contender who is thin on the rotation due to injuries and is on its 6th/7th guy. I think he also gives a kicker that, if the team makes the playoffs, he was a dynamite reliever last year and could earn a roster spot. I see him as much more tradeable than Corbin.

Williams is at 104 innings versus 89 last year and even fewer in 2021. Think he is wearing down. Don’t see how he can make it through the year.
