Too aggressive.  Cant swing at that on 2-1, based loaded

 

It was 76, right in the middle of the plate. That curve was way too high, should have been punished.

You all know we'd hate Soto for the crotch grabbing routine if he wasn't on the Nats :)

 

I'll say it again, I love the kid, but he's lucky he isn't playing against Clemens, Nolan Ryan, RandyJohnson, or pitchers from earlier generations than that.

Why is he lucky? What would those guys do?

Are you serious?  Did you watch baseball back then?  They would have drilled him, probably more than once, and a few of the meaner ones (read, the Clemens or Jeff Weaver types) would have probably gone high.  

 

Earlier generations probably would have gone out of their way to do it constantly.

And now they'd be thrown out and probably suspended for doing that. Who cares what old racists would do back in their day to a guy having fun

Understand I'm not pining for "the old days" or anything.  Baseball has become more theatrical.  They'd be suspended now...back then maybe a fine.  As I said, I like watching Soto, I just think it is good, for his sake, that he's playing now, and not 20-30 years ago.

I think it was pretty obvious that this was an "in general" comment, not this exact situation, they'd have never put up with it.
