Zimmerman with a walk off homer for the Nats!

Weird to be excited for them to win.

I feel the same way...but now we have a 3 game lead in the East!

Charlie providing some run support

Acuna with another blast!

 

[death2redemptions]

That was an absolute BOMB from Acuna!!! Listed at 431 feet but it look like it went much further than that

Acuna - .288 avg 21 HR 45 RBI .930 OPS 10 SB

Can’t believe they didn’t overturn that foul ball call. Joe Simpson was being a drama queen but should’ve been a double.

 

[death2redemptions]

Just remember, Acuna has done all this in just 76 games as a 20 year old rookie. In a full season at this pace you'd basically double every counting stat...42 home runs, 20 stolen bases, 110 runs scored...that would literally be the best season ever by a rookie under the age of 21.

Yeah, he went a little over the top but it definitely hit the white chalk. I'd probably be as pissed as Simpson if it were the 9th inning and we were down a run.

Agreed if it were a different situation.

Wonder if Realmuto gets hit at some point in the series?

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Those last 2 outs by the Marlins went about a combined 6 inches

Newcomb has turned it up a notch and bringing the k's! He's fire when he can command his fastball

I sure hope not!

I think it's safe to say that Acuna likes to eat fish

 

[death2redemptions]

But he just got robbed of extra bases right there

 

[manningmurphyfan]

Numbers against them are ridiculous.

 

[death2redemptions]

And now Ender goes deep!

 

[death2redemptions]

The two youngest position players on this team are leading the Braves in home runs!

 

[death2redemptions]

Newcomb doing a nice job working around that leadoff double

Figure he’ll go 6.

 

[death2redemptions]

Figure he’ll go 6.

Same here. He'd have to put up like a 6 pitch 6th inning to have a shot at 7.

His stat line up to now - 5 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 6 K

Stop f**king hitting Acuna, you jealous f**ks!
