Ben has a thick New Orleans accent.

Ben lives in Denham Springs, a small place with roughly 10K residents. It's outside of Baton Rouge. His accent is more rural Louisiana. My wife is from NOLA and most folks she grew up with there have a more cosmopolitan accent, NOLA being a bit of a melting pot. Of course, folks like Dr. John and Professor Longhair, (ie musicians) had that distinctive accent we've all come to know. But Ben's is more "country Louisiana".

One bounce to the warehouse???

11 game hitting streak.

Not enough games left in the season to catch DiMaggio.

I think that may have hit the warehouse on the bounce

This is looking like a pretty good test of the resilience we've been hearing about.

There'a start.

There goes the no hitter!

I thought Max’s first pitch was on purpose to Santander.

OK. 3 isn't terrible. We can score runs too.

Ughhh this darned Nats team, every time they score in the top of the inning they give runs back in the bottom frame!

Good hustle by Turner on that bounce out.

Initial impression of Lopez is that he is being awfully nibbly.

Iglesias has missed too many games for consideration.

So I'd say Ruiz.

Soto better swing at this next pitch. Not going to get a call now after showing up the ump.

Nibbling is working!
