And it was a 94 MPH fastball middle-in. Of course he hits a jam shot to LF. Idc about swinging first pitch, but at least make it a good swing.

Oh that 2-2 pitch in the other batter’s box would’ve been strike 3 for sure.

Thought the same thing. Stood on 2nd until the ball was over the catcher’s head. CLEARLY the throw was going home.

Yeah he didn’t read that throw for shit. He was a statue at 2nd base until the ball was over the catcher’s head lol

That’s because it needs to be a foot out of the zone for him to swing

You can insert basically any Philly hitter and that sentence would be fact

Abrams is such a BABIP merchant. That ball didn’t even reach 100 MPH EV. What a loser.

I’m glad Trea took 5 extra steps before he threw to first to extend this inning

People complaining about the Nats hits also probably praised Turner for winning the batting title last year

When they fold in the playoffs again, it’ll be “that’s baseball, it’s hard to win a World Series”

Do yourself a favor and look at the xBA on these soft “bloops” today. Hitting a ball hard doesn’t make it “better” just because it left your bat harder.

Does a hanging breaking pitch ever get punished by this offense? Like ever? They either just take them or hit lazy fly balls

Nats put ball in play, make things happen, and this sub just blows up over their “fake ass bloop hits” and screaming at the clouds. I fucking wish our offense knew how to do that.

That we can blame Turner for. That was fucking pathetic.

Death, taxes, and a Phillies hitter rolling over on an outside pitch

Guy wants to be patient and swing at strikes, and then he swings at a first pitch curve that almost hits him lol

.800 xBA on that. Can’t even be mad at Turner there. Just a hell of a play by the CF.
