bottom of the 4th, down 2-0 after a 3rd inning Rutschman HR. Corbin vs Grayson Rodriguez.

Bats have been chilled, which is too bad because the pitching the past couple of nights has not been bad.

The Darnell Coles Effect

A run! Alu knocks in next year's 1st baseman Dom Smith after his double.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #4 on:** September 27, 2023, 07:42:32 pm »

I was worried that CJ would come up with 2 runners on. Can't have so many opportunities.

I don't know if there was a camera on Alu. Did he stop and go or just keep going around 2nd?

Slateman · « **Reply #5 on:** September 27, 2023, 07:47:19 pm »

Convince me that Coles isnt also teaching base running

So, Gus Triandos, Rick Dempsey, Chris Hoiles . . . is Rutschman already the O's best catcher since the Os moved from St Louis?

He's arguablely the best catcher in baseball

Wieters. Elrod hendricks and Andy Etchebarren don't make the list.

Triandos, Wieters, Hoiles, and Dempsey.

Natsinpwc · « **Reply #12 on:** September 27, 2023, 07:59:38 pm »

Elrod Hendricks.
Mickey Tettleton.

Corbin for loss # 15. I predicted a 20 loss season. He can’t do anything right. As long as he is in the rotation we will not contend for a playoff spot.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #14 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:12:57 pm »

Rutschman is 5th in fWAR(10.1), behind Hoiles (24.

Dempsey (22.

Wieters (18.4) and Triandos (17). He's played 263 games as C. dempsey played 1245, the others no less than 882 (Wieters). Give him 2 years to pass Triandos and Wieters.

Slateman · « **Reply #15 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:17:53 pm »

He's already better than Wieters

imref · « **Reply #16 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:32:23 pm »

so we'll basically know going into next season if the Nats intend to compete based on whether or not Corbin is still in the rotation.

welch · « **Reply #17 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:33:31 pm »

Don't forget John Orsino.

well, there's no way he's not starting the season in the rotation. Can't call Paulie Walnuts to take care of our problem anymore.

Watching us trot Vargas out is so bad

Yes

At this point, don't Harvey and Finnegan need work? there's an off-day tomorrow.

welch · « **Reply #22 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:37:14 pm »

So the Nats made it 2-1 and then Corbin gave up a couple more runs?

welch · « **Reply #23 on:** September 27, 2023, 08:42:09 pm »

What happened to Luis Garcia? Just a chance to see more of Kieboom?

yes. They brought in a lefty, so they PH Kieboom, then moved Every Day Every Play Every Year over to 2nd.
