Bethancourt strikes again

He smoked that ball.

[Crusader]

Good inning to start watching the game. Herz did the Cubs a solid going 4 innings and some change and giving up 3 runs for us.

[Chicago Al]

The offense has really turned the corner.

[BKHoo]

Yes Swanson!!!

Marquee showed a shot of the Walter Johnson statue outside of Nationals Park.  Can anyone tell me what's going on here?  Is this the worst baseball statue?

Note that the Rogers Center where the Blue Jays play has a statue of the founder of Canada's largest and terribly unpopular/greedy tv cable corporation who own the team LOL

Assad is adone

[Wilson A2000]

Laz Diaz is just a brutal ump, but I’ll take that call

[Illiterate Scholar]

lol, these young hitters are used to AAA umpires who are forced to know the actual zone with the challenge system. Quite an adjustment with having Laz Diaz back there

[We Got The Whole 9]

Terrible pitch on 3-1, come on 

[UMFan83]

Ugh that was annoying 

[Rob]

PCA with the nice throw.

[CubinNY]

Run on PCA at your peril 

[Tryptamine]

PCA saves a run, Assad getting hit around. 

[Crusader]

Bethancourt has a hose.

[Rob]

Cubs offense woke up earlier this month. Is this the start of the defense waking up too?

[Illiterate Scholar]

It is fun having a catcher who can really throw again 

[Andy]

Why in the world is Washington trying to take extra bases left and right this inning when every hitter they send up is hitting lasers

[Jason Ross]

That is about the luckiest inning I've ever seen.

Thank god for that. Assad was not good today, 9 baserunners in 6 innings.

It so easily could have been Gallo hitting a 3 run hr with no outs if things went just slightly different.

[chibears55]

Might need a couple more runs for this one, don't think 4 is enough

How about this one?

[chibears55]

Lmao,  we'll take it

[chopsx9]

Suzuki looked like he was slowing down around third to pick up a quarter before remembering where he was.

[JHBulls]

That looks like it hit the line.
