God damn 22 year olds never deliver!
He leads the leagues in taters? I thought the league lead was higher than 12 for some reason. Awesome to see the bats heating up! If only we could get Rendon back…

Remember when Kevin Maas was the fastest player ever to hit 10 HR's? Something like 70 AB's….
I think he's an accountant now or something.

I can't wait for Hutch's take on Harper getting tossed last night.

bryce was definitely pushing his luck but at the same time hudson was totally baiting him (not for the first time either) and thats unacceptable. harper was back in the box ready to go when hudson stepped out to yell at matt williams. bryce's quip after that was a mistake he shouldnt have made but hudson could have easily let the situation diffuse itself by then. there are times when an ejection is called for but its not ok for an ump to personally escalate like that
i guess the nats lodged a formal complaint, whatever that means, so itll be interesting to see if anything happens with that

Hasn't this guy tossed 3 different Nats managers now? He tossed out Davey for sure… I laughed when Matt kicked dirt onto the home plate.
ARod also stepped out of the box. Should have been tossed.

There were so many problems with the ump lastnight. I was at the game and saw the whole thing happen one way - looked to me like Harper was ready to go, then the ump started jawing with Matt Williams in the dug out, drawing Matt out, so then Harper backed out the box to let them go at it. Then all of a sudden the ump was ready to go and tossed Bryce for not being there. My friend sitting next to me saw it this way - Harper knew the rule about being in the box and wasting time and showed up the ump by just putting his toe in the box. So, i can see how it's muddled. But anyway, seemed an overreaction.
And when you factor in the crap the Yankees got away with it really did look vindictive. Four straight K's looking, all on questionable pitches. The yanks getting forever just to determine whether or not they wanted to challenge the out at first - where was the need to speed the game up then. The ump was quick to go the mound and break up the Nats little meeting in the 8th inning. Yanks had plenty of guys backing out the box without issue. I understand filing a complaint, but yeah.. no idea what that even means. Oh well, Nats won and A-Rod got called out on a pitch that was definitely a ball high and inside.

Wait, no adults have ever been kicked out of baseball games before?

There's a fault in that logic, and frankly, I'm not sure how you derived that from what I said, but the reality is only two people should ever get ejected from a baseball game:
The Manager for various reasons;
The pitcher defending his battery mates.

You put the blame for Harper getting thrown out last night on him? I don't even like the Nats but it seemed pretty clear to me that was an ump just completely making himself the show.
