Good thing he wasn’t. 

I wonder if he talked his way into another inning?

Max talked his manager into that extra inning and going over 100 pitches.

I think so.

We need to steal this one now.

Starting to get that 2012 vibe. C'mon Birds, let's do this.

Should Santander get some thought about Team MVP ?

At some point, he has to realize that becomes counterproductive. Going deeper in the game is respectable, but not if you give up a ton of runs. I'm sure he isn't happy about today.  Scherzer has done as well as an ineffective John Means and a ragtag band of relievers.

That and Nats must have zero faith in their own bullpen.

No steal.   Just be the better team and win the damn game.
