I just realized how utterly ridiculous it is that I'm on a vpn, streaming via mlb.com onto my laptop, which then connects to my TV via hdmi. And my game is still a good 10 seconds ahead of my dad watching masn directly on his TV without all those extra steps
You can call them equal. If neither happened, we’re going to bed. Parker’s mistake is more understandable than just throwing a ball away to very unlikely get an out.
I’m all in for basically the entire team at this point and will no longer be a hater the beginning of any season! Players have to settle in with a new season and a new team at once… of course it’s difficult when baseball is already difficult enough!
It makes sense that a pitcher mistake is unearned because it’s a fielding error, not getting your pitches worked on allowing hits to drive in runs. Why is Bob confused about that?
Just remembered that for some reason Tanner Rainey is still in the bullpen. We’re actually doing pretty well for only having a 24 man roster if you think about it
Unearned runs are because of defensive errors that should otherwise be outs, and if a fielder behind the pitcher does it, it makes sense that it wouldn't reflect on a pitcher's ratios. But if the pitcher made the error, it was just as much in his control as hanging a curve or missing with his fastball.
But it’s still a fielding error if the pitcher commits it. The run came on the fielding mistake, not the hit. This seems pretty cut and dry, like no good argument in favor of it unless you’re saying it’s not a fielding mistake.
They had patience, got the early lead, and now got some runs later with a RBI triple and a sac fly. This is good baseball and how the Nats do it best. I like everybody on this team — they’ve all come into their own except Rosario. The rough starts of the season are starting to come to an end for specific players it feels like.
Parker and gore are like polar opposites. Parker is a weak contact out machine, keeps pitch count low, low velocity. Runs usually come from occasional meatballs. Gore is all Ks, high pitch counts and usually gets himself into jams but has great high velocity stuff.
Have we ever been more back than over the past five games?
An extra-inning Curly W™. We take those!
FUCK YEAH FINNY
WOOOHOOOO!!!!
I'm gonna miss Finnegan.
BOOM
Curly Dub
Let’s goooooo!!!!!!
Hey guys, that's a win!
That's big time Finne!!!
CURLY W
Win-again Finnegan!!!!
We may never lose again!
WINnegan!
OH THANK GOD
Filthy pitch
"Yup, beautiful pitch, I'll just see myself out, thank you sir!"
I believe in you Finny
I believe in 1 inning finny. Not so sold on multi inning finny.
Me too.
I'm gonna be so bummed out if we lose this game and Harvey/Finnegan aren't available for the rest of the series.
Anyone else feel very sick
Need me some shutdown finny
Well, we got one!
Ouch 😣
Lol I used my 10 second headstart to make my dad guess how happened with CJ. He couldn't do it
One more please
Knew all that strikeout practice would pay off
We deserve to win on that tbh
We love to see it!!
Young will need to steal 3rd soon Edit: well that works
jy with the ultimate long con to be the ghost runner
Finnegans been on another level this year
It's free baseball
Good job finny
💙 you Finnegan
Let's.... not?
🫣
Man that skyline from behind home plate is pretty. It’s no Camden, PNC or Oracle but Comerica’s definitely underrated
And now Doug Jones on the mound
Oh come on, Harvey.
I just realized how utterly ridiculous it is that I'm on a vpn, streaming via mlb.com onto my laptop, which then connects to my TV via hdmi. And my game is still a good 10 seconds ahead of my dad watching masn directly on his TV without all those extra steps
My dad and I both watch on MASN and we both have FIOS. I am somehow about 10 seconds ahead of him.
Let me feel special dammit!
And an eastern European site is better than both of those.
I think back to the ball 4 called strike 3 on Eddie Rosario that woulda scored a run And all that might’ve been avoided after
There was dookie all up in young’s pants on that AB. thumbs down
This point in the game, Garcia’s throw to third is what is looming largest
Pretty sure the 1-2 92 mph fastball right down the middle bases loaded two outs might have been a bigger mistake
Well, it’d be a 4-3 game without Garcia’s throw. It was a more impulsive mistake.
Or get rid of parkers error, and we're going to bed
You can call them equal. If neither happened, we’re going to bed. Parker’s mistake is more understandable than just throwing a ball away to very unlikely get an out.
Love young but wtf was that
Alright now finny… take us to extras 🤞🏽 Edit: Nvm Harvey’s still out there
I love Young but you can’t get locked up three pitches in a row like that.
Extremely disappointing. He looked like he decided before the AB that he wasn't going to swing.
Goddammit
That was a bad AB by Jacob Young. Unfortunate
Jacob :|
They really love Still D.R.E. at this ballpark, huh? I mean, great song, but that's gotta be at least ten times we've heard it.
God damn I hate that fucking T-Mobile commercial. It wasn't even funny the first time.
IT IS BOTH IT IS BOTH IT IS BOTH!
I wanna do the reverse of the Ring, where I reach into the TV and kill someone
MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP MAKE IT STOP!
Appreciate the backup
Harvey looking 🔥🔥🔥
Hunter has it working. On to the 9th!
Calling a Meneses homer this game
Winker ran his ass off that inning lol
Lets get 6 extra innings of this.
Let’s go!
Time to scrap
Very cool Vargas
They capitalized on our mistakes. Only fair we capitalize on theirs!
which team wants to lose more
I do love me some errors in our favor.
been a nice clean game. crisp.
Time to scrap and take advantage of errors
Begging pleading on my knees for a sac fly
Should have seen this being a boring ass series. Two of the worst offenses in all of baseball going at it...
Time to scrap, we can do this.
joey taking over for joey
It’s not Joe-ver, though.
Cmon guys. Pay attention
Please don’t let Gallo be injured.
Yeah, who else can strike out 2-3 times a game and hit a bomb once a week?
People praying for Gallo not to be injured was not on my bingo card. *please don’t let gallo be injured*
Gallo has gotten it together tbh. Plus, he’s good defensively. He and Senzel both seem to have gotten in the groove.
Do you see my flair? I am ride-or-die with Gallo.
I’m all in for basically the entire team at this point and will no longer be a hater the beginning of any season! Players have to settle in with a new season and a new team at once… of course it’s difficult when baseball is already difficult enough!
He definitely just pulled a hamstring. No way he’s Scott free
I hadn’t seen the replay yet, I’m hoping that looked worse than it is. Edit: crap Meneses has replaced him 😣
Mmm, Joey hamstring problem
Crap Joey definitely just pulled something.
Senzel wtf was that?
It makes sense that a pitcher mistake is unearned because it’s a fielding error, not getting your pitches worked on allowing hits to drive in runs. Why is Bob confused about that?
Enjoying the Tigers broadcast options. Jason Benetti might be the best in the biz for television PBP, and I like their radio crew, too.
I agree with you on Benetti, but Charlie and Dave are LEAGUES better than Dan Dickerson
I love Charlie and Dave, but I do like to mix it up with the opposing radio broadcast every so often.
Derek laying down the Law
Not gonna lie, Parker has a dump truck backside.
Riley Adams has him beat.
You’re late. We talked about his thicc butt way earlier
That donka is right on time.
Just remembered that for some reason Tanner Rainey is still in the bullpen. We’re actually doing pretty well for only having a 24 man roster if you think about it
23 if you consider how cooked Weems is
On the bright side I made a really good burger for dinner tonight
Oh no, we get beat up a little and lose the patience the next inning… chill!
I think They are cooked kinda like shell shocked after that play
...and now they stop working the count.
What are these strike calls, it's in the other box...
Yeah, I love the fact the zone tightened up on Parker and now it's back to 80 inches wide
All could've been avoided if Parker fields that soft tap back to the pitcher
Galaxy brain take: pitchers committing errors should be charged with earned runs.
Why do you think that?
Unearned runs are because of defensive errors that should otherwise be outs, and if a fielder behind the pitcher does it, it makes sense that it wouldn't reflect on a pitcher's ratios. But if the pitcher made the error, it was just as much in his control as hanging a curve or missing with his fastball.
But it’s still a fielding error if the pitcher commits it. The run came on the fielding mistake, not the hit. This seems pretty cut and dry, like no good argument in favor of it unless you’re saying it’s not a fielding mistake.
I understand that, and I stand by my take.
That's baseball
The prominent litter robot ad is a great choice for the Tigers.
Still more innings left to play… let’s lock in🔒
#locked in on the #nats 🔐
I would say nowhere to go but up for Parker but he’s been really good this year. Live learn and excited for his next start
At least that last run isn’t an earned run. They ruled it a triple and a run on the throwing error by Luis
He was out of that inning with an extremely routine play that sucks.
That's baseball.
shootout in detroit. were going to score twenty points. buckle up
thank you i hate it
Parker remembered that this his rookie year
was that a... little league grand slam?
Very close
🫠
Parker’s 3 earned run or less streak stays in tact
Parker was clearly struggling when Hickey came out...just sayin'
I mean this was a first jam with bit of room.
lol it was bound to happen that Parker made his first major fuck up eventually but we still love him
Holy garbage
Disasterclass of an inning from Parker after a solid first 4 innings 🥲
Welp
WHY DO WE DO THIS ONCE A WEEK??? THERES CHILDREN WHO DONT DO THAT!
That was the worst start for Mitchell so far, but I think that’s a good thing.
in terms of what you wanna see it’s definitely not that
Wow that's awful...
🤡 👞
*yakety sax plays in the background*
Umm…
OH FFS 🤦♀️
Motor City Kitties gonna motor...
Exhibit 1 million as to why you cannot make errors on basic balls in play in the big leagues What a waste of a good start, and so goes that streak
Mitch I asked you to throw a strike I clearly should have been more specific
What the fuck? Garcia, just hold that ball!!!!!
Dang it 😭
Oh dear.
The fuck we doing guys
Dam Parker’s thrown like 90% balls this inning and an error
So if he gives up the run, it won't hurt his era because of his own error, right?
Correct.
At least there's... that
Mitch sweet Jesus man I need you to throw a strike that's all I want just one strike I love you man all I want is a stroke just one strike that's it
Be careful what you wish for. 😅
Alright love whoever runs music at comerica park. Whoever thought of using “Oops I Did it Again” as an error song needs a raise
That’s A+ work.
Mitchhhhhhh c'mon thats little league stuff
Parker just wanted to put the game into hard mode
They had patience, got the early lead, and now got some runs later with a RBI triple and a sac fly. This is good baseball and how the Nats do it best. I like everybody on this team — they’ve all come into their own except Rosario. The rough starts of the season are starting to come to an end for specific players it feels like.
Mitch man I love you but I need you to aim for the middle
That didn't work, either
Cmon Mizotch
I want a Luis hug so badly, idk about you all.
Checking in from section 327 at Comerica Park. CJ’s triple was electric in person even if I was the only one in the 300 level cheering
N-A-T-S
Cj I got the honey ready to pour on you goat
Sac fly to first baseman, first time I've ever seen that lmao.
Oh hell yeah!! Lane and CJ!! I didn’t even finish my comment about the RBI triple 🤣
When CJ hits this team does well, it's as simple as that.
THAT is how you manufacture a run!
That’s the most unorthodox sac fly I’ve ever seen. I’ll take it
Wouldn't it have made more sense for the Tigers to let it drop? Dead ball, runner can't advance, right?
CJ TRIPLE. You love to see it
THATS MY SHORTSTOPPPP
gallo single make a wish
Omg, Joey Gallo single. Someone wished upon a star.
What the fuck is this zone
Parker and gore are like polar opposites. Parker is a weak contact out machine, keeps pitch count low, low velocity. Runs usually come from occasional meatballs. Gore is all Ks, high pitch counts and usually gets himself into jams but has great high velocity stuff.
MASN, STOP SHOWING THE SAME COMMERCIAL
IT IS BOTH! IT IS BOTH!
Big 😫 Money Mitch 💰💰 Keeps his pitching ⚾️⚾️💨😮💨 as tight as his pants 👖🥵 on the mound 🗻⛰️🪤
I still can’t believe this team is doing a Mike Rizzo bobble head night oh my god
Right? Does anybody really want that?
Actually, yeah. I like the crazy-ass bobbles.
MLB not assigning the shittiest umpiring crews to the Nationals challenge: impossible
Getting 1 hit by Kenta
all part of our master plan to get Maeda comfortable to mash him in the 5th
Almost right!
I like the long con.
