Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 Something to look at as the season progresses. We have the 2nd most stolen bases in MLB and we're tied for 3rd fewest GIDP (grounding into a double play) in MLB. There has to be a correlation between this. It makes sense at least, fewer forced outs as more stolen bases means a runner on 2nd can choose not to run, or turning the double play from 3rd to 1st is that much harder than 2nd to 1st. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted April 9 Share Posted April 9 (edited) DC had a slow spring and start of the year. Hopefully he's locking it in now! Wood just keeps on hitting! Edited April 9 by CRobi21 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball Security Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Small things. SF’s pitcher was absolutely dealing. 8 up, 8 down with six strikeouts. Young gets a single up the middle. Basically gets picked off first, but beats the through down to second for a steal. Steals third standing with two outs. Now, because of speed, the pitcher can’t put the ball in the dirt to get Abrams to chase with two strikes. Puts it over the plate, and boom, two run homerun.

Calling that just a home run is underselling it. Abrams vaporized that ball. 106.6 off the bat, 423 ft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was going to say he parked it in the cove, but wasn’t sure if it cleared or not. It was a shot. Really nice, but short outing for Adon. I agree with the quick hook before the third turn though the lineup. I see that Senzel is rehabbing. Got two hits tonight. Not sure what happens when he’s ready.

Ball Security Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 Gallo gets HBP on his wrist. Looked bad. Harvey takes a line drive off his glove palm. You could see it swell up. Uggghh. Looks like possibly three DL moves in 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now tied for 1st in baseball, along with the Reds. With the rule changes, I do feel like aggressive base running is the new Moneyball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 (edited) Giants first stolen bases of the year. We are slow. 😆 Edit...I'm liking what I've seen so far of the Nats rebuild this year. Edited April 10 by The Evil Genius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted April 10 Share Posted April 10 It's the last year of Corbin's deal? Paying him either way, move him to the pen and promote Adon AND Rutledge. Might as well see if they can improve over 2024 without worrying about being sat. Corbin isn't and won't be here next year anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 (edited) What a weird game today. Corbin wasn't even that bad. He actually had command today and was locating at the bottom of the zone, but the ump wasn't giving any strikes down there. Wasn't hit hard at all either. Everything that could go bad did go bad. Fredericksburg scored 10 runs in an inning tonight too. Looking like a powerhouse in Low-A! Edited April 11 by CRobi21 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fredericksburg scored 10 runs in an inning tonight too. Looking like a powerhouse in Low-A! I agree, if Young hangs onto that third out then it’s an entirely different game. Still tough to win scoring only one run. With the afternoon game done, I’ve been flipping through the app watching the four minor league games. Lots of things to like position player wise. Wood two hits, two walks. Pickney three hits - two doubles House two hits. Morales no hits, but scorched a line drive to center that was caught -103 mph. Vaquero a triple and homerun. Our light hitting SS Cruz and Made both with multi hit games. 2022 OF picks that dropped out of discussion last year, Cox and McKenzie are hitting themselves into an interesting position. Lots to keep track of with this group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
