What happened?

 

Desmond hit into what looked it would be a perfect DP but Castro bobbled the ball when pulling back to throw to 1B and they only got one. Admittedly he had to come a long way to 2B because of how he was shifted, but still, frustrating, and Desmond ultimately scored.

[Sammy Sofa]

Wow, stellar job by Rusin to get out of having guys on 2nd and 3rd with no outs.

[Careless]

So the crowd loves Murphy

[Illini Iceman]

I am starting to wonder if Ian Desmond actually knows how to slide.

[sneakypower]

so i guess Rusin has usurped some of Wood's sorcery

[Illini Iceman]

BOGUBOMB

[UMFan83]

Castro with a .185/.205/.247/.452 line his last 22 games going into today.

[pitchcs]

Maybe the Nats don't know how to slide.

Rizzo & Castro are both never going to get another MLB hit.

What did Len say they were on the homestand, 3 for 48?

[Gingerballs Lives]

Really amazing how bad they've been. Honestly I think both of their ceilings are as really good complementary players. Next year will be very interesting for them.

[Hairyducked Idiot]

I bet we could have gotten way better long-term deals now if we'd waited. Especially on Castro.

[TruffleShuffle]

chad tracy is still playing organized baseball? who knew.

[Schwarber Fan]

I was SO sure he got that. Damn!

[Schwarber Fan]

Pretty sure he went to Washington right after the Cubs and hasn't left.

[Schwarber Fan]

eff Span and his range.

 

Soriano's been ridiculously awful so we still have a shot.

[Andy]

Our BABIP of late has to be absurdly bad.

[Schwarber Fan]

nvm, that's game

It might time Castro goes down with a "sore hamstring" or something and takes 15 days off.

Contentedly savoring season 1 episode 1 of InuYasha, confident of a CUBS victory, and I come back to this? Let's go, CUBS! Bottom of 9th walkoff win.
