This is my problem. The dude does not learn.
There was a play in the last 3 weeks where he ran into an out in the plate in the same situation by not waiting to run until the ball cleared the pitcher with the infield back. Teams can almost play back on him when he’s on 3rd because they know that he’s not going to make the right situation.

ERA down to 4.73.
He’s been the best pitcher on the staff for about the last month.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.

Off the game topic, anyone else going Monday afternoon?
I’m hoping it’s Zimmermann pitching. I know it’s unlikely he is dominant in two straight starts, but it would be my first chance to see him pitch
im seriously considering
i really dont have anything on the schedule and no work til 1300 tue.

If we're all going, we should set up meet-up in the FB offices up atop the Red Loft. Far left corner...
Doghouse and I usually meet there for a while before game time….
