Butera not allowed to challenge? C&D say that Senger was blocking the plate, so a challenge should have given the Nats a run

he came out to challenge, and the crew chief Tichnor enforced a rule that says you challenge from the dugout.

I like Alvarez, but at some point, they have to stop pulling the starters. Irvin a couple of days ago was absolutely dealing, now Littell, who isn’t quite dealing but pitching well, pulled with even less pitches

Soto took him deep last time. Alvarez's workload is practically scheduled to pick up Littell. There was a story saying they are keeping him on a starter's schedule

"Crews scorches one up the middle", says Charlie.

A big run on Abrams, Cres, Lile.

85.7 mph. not quite scorched, but worked.

Lile has been struggling, so good to see him get that run in

nice deek by Soto

Jake!

And JY doubles...come on Nats, let's get another!

welch · « **Reply #60 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:25:23 pm »

How about that!!! Another run.

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #61 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:26:38 pm »

that's a play that's good in reality but which gets punished in some advanced stats. Lowers the run expectancy slightly from 2d & 3d with 1 out, none in, vs runner on 3d 2 outs, 1 in.

As if a run is bad? Or that a bunt is always bad.

If it were Wood up, 2nd and 3rd 1 out, I'd swing away, but it was Nunez, so get the 1 run.

Greatest offense of all time.

Also is Soto going to hit a HR vs us every game for the rest of his career?

GataNats · « **Reply #65 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:31:42 pm »

Great play by Garcia

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #66 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:33:08 pm »

it's weird, but with Alvarez backing up Littell, I'm almost looking forward to Littell starts.

GataNats · « **Reply #67 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:33:08 pm »

Man, Alvarez is nasty. Why didn’t he tear up the minors?

Yes. Until Butera agrees, with me, to walk Soto every time. Even if the bases are loaded!

I dont want Alvarez to go

3 runs tonight on HRs.

GataNats · « **Reply #72 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:44:43 pm »

Why do we keep pitching to him?

SkinsNatFan21RIP · « **Reply #73 on:** May 20, 2026, 08:45:03 pm »

It’s still a kick in the nuts every time we have to sit through this. I understand what we got in return but Soto not being here still sucks.

Was it Harper that Maddon walked every time up in a series and sent into a funk? Try it with Soto
