Didn't understand sending Millas to 1st on catcher interference.  He had already caught the ball before touching Millas' glove.

VRK, were you a Sox fan back in the day?

My mother was the biggest Sox fan I ever met...she even has the Sox logo engraved on her headstone.  It was a reasonable alternative to her wish to be buried under home plate...

We've been screwed enough in the past on blown checked swing calls.

He's had 2 consecutive outings where he hasn't been getting lit up.  Baby steps.

With the benefit of hindsight, no problem.  Avoid the big bat and all is good.

Lovelady turning into a pumpkin

He's looked solid, but his career doesn't really reach out and grab you.  Wonder what it was caused the Nats to jump on him when he became available?  Advanced metrics saying he's been unlucky?  Seems a AAAA guy, up an down.

I forget what pitch of Lovelady they like. There's articles about it.

The major league life of Riley starts now.

And the second batter. This is not going to end well.

We must have 2-3 Nunez's in the infield, I see him all over the place.

I hate those hero throws from deep to moderate outfield.  Runners advance on the stupidity.
