Nationals @ Mariners, Game 2

[OfftheBat]

Gee everybody was trashing Bell for months. Like a tu-tu, but everyone liked his ability to walk

He still sucks, he is a black hole in this lineup. They should DFA him asap.

Would you ever bring Finny in for 1 batter just to keep him sharp after days off?

Comon Gore tomorrow

Didn’t watch a pitch, that might be the new good luck charm

[OfftheBat]

    let's go!

Will be really interesting to see what happens if Hassell and Lile keep playing well when Young and Crews come back.

Hopefully you didn't miss Hassell's first major league homer 🙏

Good quick post-game interview by him, btw

What needs to happen is moving Wood to first or full time DH.   Then, it makes everything easier

Was this the best win of the season and barely anyone (or at least not me) could watch it?

Man I don't stay up for this game and they score 9 runs because of course they do lol

They've scored more runs 5 times, but those games had bad pitching as well, so this is the biggest margin of victory this season. Solid pitching, a fair amount of power, a lot of hustle on the basepaths. One, maybe two, of the runs might not have scored had the Mariners made better throws, but putting pressure on the defense is also part of having a good game.
