I'm not sure if SSB is lurking, but walks kill!

Because opponents are hitting .357 off the fastball

This is a ballpark where free runners score. Can't walk guys.

Need another inning from Cornelio.

https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7453497/2026/07/20/mlb-abs-challenge-system-midseason-takeaways/

Athletic article reviewing ABS challenges through the ASB. Nats are one of 5 teams below 50% on challenges. No Nats players are noted as particularly good at it.

Among the umpires for the Rockies series, Todd Tichenor is the second most frequently overturned ump at 66.2%. He's calling tonight. the others are outside the top 10 in overturned calls, all less than 60.8%.


There is a site, https://www.taptochallenge.com/umpires , that keeps tab on the rates of umpires.  Adam Hamari, who is also umping this series, is the 7th most accurate out of 91 umps. Dreckman is one of the least accurate, worse than Tichenor, but overturned less frequently (57.7%). Still, both Dreckman and Tichenor are 92-92.5% accurate.

discussed this in the thread on the offense ("run scoring excellence"). There's a case for a platoon of Crews and Lile. Crews has good numbers vs LHP

Ruiz hasn't been bad vs LHP. Surprised they are giving Ford all the starts vs lefties

Was that a chant of "Sell the team!"?? That many Nats fans in Denver?
