I don't think I would have let Soto bat there. Let Blanco pinch hit for him. I would have tried to save face at that point.

My guess is that was Soto's last at-bat of the series. Blanco is halfway decent against left-handers, so putting him into the lineup doesn't hurt as much, and with a day game after 2 night games I'm guessing he'll be in there tomorrow.

[RedFlash]

He may not have been as dominating as one would think, but props to the Cubs ace, Carlos Zambrano for stopping the mini-streak.

I've really been impressed with Cedeno lately.

Thankfully for him the Nationals intentionally walked him in the 8th inning last night. If not for that at-bat, Soto would be 1 strikeout away from matching the major league record for most consecutive strikeouts.

 

Is that record for consecutive ABs or consecutive PAs?

[chuckywang]

I apologize for not being here tonight. I was out playing some football and, after dining, I got back too late. I did listen to some of it on the radio though.

It would of course be PAs because a walk wouldn't affect ABs, silly. But yeah, I think I see what you mean; I think the record would be closer to 9 in a row than 6.

It is 9 in a row. That's why the intentional walk threw it off. Soto struck out in his first 3 at-bats on Friday, then got intentionally walked, then struck out all 5 times on Saturday.

 

And I'm not sure if it AB's or PA's. My guess it would have to be PA's, but I cannot be sure about that. This record only counts position players only btw.

For a BB to throw it off, wouldn't it have to be PAs?

Good God these guys look miserable through the first 4.

I thought Ronny was dead for sure. And Henry Blanco just stole a base 2. Yet another sin that The Apocolypse truely is, indeed upon us.
