Off topic, but Nats starters K 13 batters Friday,15 batters yesterday, and Joe Ross Ked 12 today in four innings. Oh wait, he gave up 12 hits in 4 innings.
The broadcast team is to blame for that run. Showed a stat of how the teams is leading the league with the fewest errors. Cue up Kepler with the whiff on the double to allow the runner to score from first.
So, is what Jack (and Paul) says true? If a pitcher moves his front foot while the back foot is on the rubber, it is a balk? I always thought you could lift your front leg and rotate towards first?
Agree 100%. Replay was not put in place for those sort of micromanaging. He might have been out, but it really wasn't conclusive, and not enough to overturn by any stretch. Plus it was amazing he actually kept his foot on the bag. I thought Kiermaier was closer to out earlier in the game.
It's always nice to see the Twins finish off the sweep of the Orioles. It's happened a lot, I always seem to make it up for the afternoon game of the three-game set, and it usually results in a sweep. At least three, maybe four times in the past 6-8 years, I think.
