Better is all over the place. STF Franny saying Nats have nailed it.
This is pretty standard for Beeter

Poor Jeff McNeil. Kicked aside by the miserable Mets for a season at a minor league ballpark with the Athletics.

Beeter is not good. He can’t throw strikes. He was 12 for 24 and he got the benefit of some calls that couldn’t be challenged in addition to some bad swings and misses on obvious balls. This is not the first time I have seen this.
