The X from McCalvy posted 6 messages up show him with a Brewers hat in what appears to be the Brewers clubhouse. I imagine he is available for Sunday but just wasn't used. Players do have 72 hours before they have to report to the new team. Or maybe he was just using that time to get him/his family situated for moving to a new home on Sun.
Yeah, the Nats have given up runs twice after they scored runs. It's a problem.
Both teams have done it. It doesn't seem to matter when the runs are given back, as long as you allow less runs than you score by the end of nine innings.
Dallas somehow gets through the Dodgers without a run. The BBs were not good but I'd rather he miss out of the zone rather than miss over the heart of the plate. I'm still worried LA can get four back quickly so it'd be nice to add on some insurance.
Ortiz's running path is established when the fielder first tries to tag him. At that point Ortiz was on the very edge of the infield grass in fair ground. So his running path was a straight line from that point to the bag. He avoided the tag by going right with his foot landing on the runner's line in foul territory. I believe that line is 3 feet from the foul line. Which means he went more than 3 feet to the right to avoid the tag. That was probably the correct call.
Sanchez probably saw that the contact play was on and feared a ground ball would result in a home to first double play.
But two runners in scoring position and two strikeouts. This pitcher is really good. Or our offense is bad.
Edit: three strikeouts ...
