Wrong, the runners lane is on the foul side of the bag. There is no inside running lane that protects the runner from an interference call.  You can’t ask the umpire to not make the correct

Hate to break it to you, Frobby, but half the bag is in fair territory...and so is the other half. I used to do drugs.  I still do.  But I used to too.  — Mitch Hedberg

I will enjoy this series a lot because I have nothing against either team.  The Expos/Nats have never won a title, and Houston just won two years ago, so I probably lean a bit towards the Nats just to even things out a bit.  But Houston is great and I would honestly have no problem if they won either.  I don't like dynasties in sports (unless it is my team), so hopefully if Houston does win, that will be it for them for awhile.

I’ll be mildly rooting for the Nats, but I’ll be happy either way.     I tried to develop a strong rooting interest in the Nats when they moved here, as my NL team, but have never gotten to the point where my fandom is even 1% as intense as my Orioles passion.    But, I lot of people I know do root passionately for the Nats, and I’d like to see them experience a WS victory.     And it would be fun to have a parade here.    
 

I like the Astros too.     They’re sort of the Orioles’ older brother, as we are trying to follow their rebuilding strategy.    Hopefully we’ll be in their shoes in a few years.

Would sure make for an easy day at work for you! ?

Setting league allegiance aside, I’m all in for the Nationals. They seem to do things the right way, and it’s a very easy team to root for.

I believe that they’re going to win this series, and it may be somewhat short – I’m betting they get it done in 5 and wrap it up at home. Strasburg and Scherzer seem to be on a mission, and the bats are clutch when they need to be. If they can keep managing to hide/work around the subpar BP, they’re set.

Bonus prediction: Cole finally returns to earth (at least for him) tonight. I think he gets roughed up some, or at the very least won’t be his recently otherworldly dominating self.

Plus, hey, a victory for the Nationals is an overall victory for MASN, no? :)

The current hubbub aside does anyone do things "the right way" more than the Astros?

Anyone else notice the Nats Centerfielder diving for a ball in the outfield, flopping, and then having the ball hit him instead of the ground? Sure, it didn't hit him in the head like with DJ Stewart, but then he actually flopped so hard his glove popped off of his hand. At least DJ kept his glove on.

Remember people saying it showed how bad DJ is as a fielder? Anyone saying that about Victor Robles?

I'm not saying that DJ is as good a fielder as Victor Robles, but it does show the error of looking at one play, even an embarrassing one, and using it as a reason to point at someone and say "See, I told you he was bad".

      Of course I’ll be watching. Filled with dread in all likelihood. As will most of us.  LOL.

      Very interesting to read through this. Full of optimism…those were good times. Turns out I voted 91-94. Such pessimism…grrr…and even that was too little. Several of the posters should run out and buy lottery tickets because they are definitely prescient.

      With Urias and Westburg back in the lineup...

      By HowAboutThat · Posted

      During all the hullabaloo about the team floundering, way too little was said about fundamental baseball judgement and defense. In a game a couple days ago, a guy came up to bat with runners on. This guy is all speed and defense, with no power, and bunted for a single. The radio guys pointed out that with a bunt threat at the plate, the defense moves in to anticipate the bunt, but this wasn’t done. He barely beat out the throw. Even two steps in from the defense would have been the difference. Little flubs like that happen CONSTANTLY, and don’t count as errors, but good teams avoid them without even thinking. The OF collision two days ago. Why did that happen? It shouldn’t have, and wouldn’t have with a good team, yet we’ve had at least three, two of which resulted in serious injury. Westburg and Urias are both solid players with solid fundamentals. Even if they don’t blaze away at the plate, they haven’t forgotten their defense, and we can hope that will be enough to get us to 90 wins.

      I was just reading my unread posts in the thread, and didn’t notice that your post was a week old.   And I don’t consider that I called you out.  The post sort of read like the outcome of the playoffs was so certain that there was no point in watching, so I was ribbing you about it.  Nothing personal intended. I have a feeling you’ll be watching!

      I was expecting Boston to be last and NY to be fourth…I never expected the Jays to be as bad as they’ve been, and the Rays are always good.

      Fewer than 3% of our posters thought the O’s would win under 90 games this year.  They can still win 90, but it will take a 4-3 finish or better to do it.
