just sayin

going off the little ive seen and not just the hot grounder up the middle last night. just looks like he moves in the right directions very quickly. Obviously 4 is a need but if they solve that through FA and if spinner’s bat is half as hot as its been in these games, its gotta be tempting to find some way to keep him up on the team

Props to Morgan for getting us on the board.

Also props to him for hitting the ball the other way. Those weak ground balls to second are probably him trying to pull the ball too much sometimes to maximize power he doesn’t possess.

Maybe not so bad.

I guess he’s trying to get to third with one out and I’m sure the scouting report has Morse as a butcher in RF. Those are the kind of plays Morse has to make if he wants to make a run at a starting RF job for next year.

Entrants should submit guesses for the number of errors the Nats make from Aug 6th through the end of the season; how many double-switches Jim Riggleman performs, and, as a tie breaker, the number of times Willie Harris appears as a pinch hittter.
