Manford spoke of eventually implementing the Banana's golden rule to MLB where once a game a coach can bat any player into a slot for 1 at bat even if he just made an out. Can you imagine Arron Judge or Othani batting back to back in a game winning situation. Or James Wood in our case?

So close. Cannot really tell. Think they keep the call.

Looks like safe but my vote doesn't count

Davey would bat Josh cause he's a veteran.

I'd like to have the fan catch rule on foul balls. Speed the game up and make up for Nats defense.

What good is rushing replay only to get the wrong result? give them an extra 30 secs if they need it.

Was hard to tell but Young should have held up at 3rd. 2nd careless baserunning out of the game.

I think he was safe but yeah, should've stayed at 3rd.

in all seriousness, stealing first on a wild pitch / passed ball would be a great addition to the MLB game. That and a ban on stepping out of the batters box.

I don't think MLB would ever go for it, but the bananas scoring system is really interesting and makes blowout games much less likely.

Looked to me like he probably skimmed the uniform. But they never freeze it. Which I assume they do in NYC.

Quietly, Parker is doing ok today

The way we play I think trying to score was a good move. We need to take every opportunity to score. That doesn't include 2nd and 3rd but stretching it out, cool with me

inconclusive must mean we f'd up but too bad so sad

Kolko said that was the first time the dimwit got run this season. I though he was ejected earlier in the year...no?

Time for the bullpen to give up another 5 or so runs.

This is my shocked face. Well... you can't see it, but trust me, it's not actually that shocked.
