Wire Taps: Jayson Werth lands foul ball in Vin Scully's booth; Future of Michael A. Taylor; Patience pays with Danny Espinosa

The Nats are finally a few hours closer to eastern time - thank goodness. In that last "Late Night Nats" stint, Washington went 2-5.

Here's the news from Milwaukee (thankfully).

The Nats gained a lot by playing Danny Espinosa
Mike Rizzo and Dusty Baker's patience with Espinosa turned him into a (more) valuable trade chip for later this season, or at least raised his confidence for the rest of the year.

Errors the last thing the Nats need
The Nats have been relatively sound defensively - but on a losing streak, an error can snowball into a lot more. And for a team that looks to go far into October, making an error like that isn't the best thing in the world.

Werth lands foul ball in Vin Scully's booth
Vin Scully reacted perfectly, giving the ball to a fan below him, and never stopped talking.

What really is Michael A. Taylor's future?
An unfortunate gaffe raised a lot of questions about the young outfielder's future.

GOP ends losing streak, wins Congressional Baseball Game.
The Democratic side of the stands at Nationals Park were chanting "FIL-I-BUSTER" (clap clap clap clap clap).

Michael A. Taylor's gaffe just latest in long list
From balls thrown into the stands, to missed extra points, to, yes, Nook Logan... Washington sports, amiright?
