The Rubber Match (vs. NATIONALS, 8/16)

Glad he caught that one. 

[MurphDogg]

Always an adventure with Dwight Smith, Jr.

[scOtt]

Now get a groundball and get out of this. Won't be the end of the world.

[eddie83]

Let’s get out of this here. 

[HOF19]

This looks like a football game where my team gives up a quick TD and then fumbles the ensuing kickoff and gives the ball right back ....Or in short terms UGLY FAST !!!!!!!

[spiritof66]

Pretty much everything hit Smith's way brings an element of adventure.

[scOtt]

Alright. One more quick one John.

[MurphDogg]

A real left-fielder would have had a play at the plate there.

Smith double clutched and threw it wide.

[eddie83]

Can we please put a real MLB LF out there?  He had the ball before runner was past bag. 

[Ruzious]

This looks like it's all Mean's fault, but... it's not.  That first hit to Smith would be caught by a good LFer, and the bloop hit near 1st would have been caught by most 1st basemen.

Bobbled that ball or would have had a chance at the plate.

 

And Means is gone. Tough start.

[eddie83]

Means has had no luck all year. Maybe he was pressing today for obvious reasons as well.

Regretfully do not have enough experience with ANY MASN Telecasts to recognize voices .

Does one of the guys have a southern accent?  If so it is Scott Garceau and Ben McDonald for the O’s.  The Nats have Bob Carpenter and F.P. Santangelo.

We don't really have one with Valaika at SS.

[MurphDogg]

Can't blame them for pulling Means, he hasn't pitched in 12 days. Can't let him throw 40 pitches in an inning.
