I didn't like the part where the Nats lost.
17
The Nats had one runner in scoring position.
Profar made some great grabs in left, and I'm really happy with our pitching, though.

Like, the whole game? At Coors? Oh shit

Yep, Call in the 8th made it to 3rd.

Pitching was decent today though. It’s just that when one aspect works, the rest is shit.

In other news, Soto just K’ed in top of 9th without doing “soto shuffle” once in AB He seems totally different as a non-Nat Could be “old schoolers” telling him to not show up pitchers when that was his play style

Honestly, I think it's just the pitch clock making everyone chill on their routines. No time for the superstitions and rituals when you only have a few seconds to get your shit together and get back in the box, ready to go.
He always said it wasn't really about showing up pitchers, it was about getting himself pumped up and ready to go. Maybe now that he's a little older and more established (and locked into a nice contract,) he doesn't feel the need to do that stuff anymore. Especially with a clock counting down.

He has not signed a contract, only avoided arbitration (again)

No, the defense is OK

I demand an apology from everyone in the first Josiah Gray game thread who shit-talked me when I said to wait to reserve judgment until after his second start.
And yea I realize the third start now the next hurdle.
Josiah isn't and never was going to be the next Stras or Scherzer of this team. He's always been billed as a guy who could be a solid number 3 or maybe 2 guy.
I don't understand why we all put so much pressure on him.
Because we're desperate

I don't ever remember that, I remember the talk was he would settle in just fine behind Stras and Corbin.
The problem is that both of those guys fell apart in their respective ways.
