[Edgy MD]

Deek.

[Edgy MD]

Deek throws into right field.

Gah. Mets are playing tight.

[Frayed Knot]

This is not good.
We need to get this to extra innings but once we get there and the Clown Car rules are in effect our run scoring chances go down!

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Holy shit what a catch Tyrone

[Edgy MD]

Well, I guess maybe Taylor's on our side after all.

[Frayed Knot]

He giveth, and then he taketh away.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Ka-SmAsH

[Frayed Knot]

After looking terrible all night!!

And we're already 2.4 runs scored above our extra inning average.

As J.D. slams a three-run homer over the fence, I was going to say that I've gotten the impression that visiting teams do a better job breaking the game open in the era of the free runner. Like the rules force the home teams to play with their backs to the wall.

I don't know if that's true, and obviously home teams have a lot more trouble "breaking the game open" when one run can end things, but hey! We broke the game open!

[Cowtipper]

I enjoyed the guy spazzing in the Grimace costume.

[Edgy MD]

Tyrone Taylor has had a week's worth of drama in the last two half innings.

[Edgy MD]

CATCHER TRIPLES ARE THE BEST TRIPLES!!

And (until tonight anyway) we've sucked both home and away for whatever that's worth.

These four runs are already the most we've scored in any free runner inning this year.
Three was our previous high. Twice we've given up five.

[Frayed Knot]

This is just stunning!
I'm starting to think we've got a decent chance of winning this one.

[Frayed Knot]

Here's the game plan Tyler: DON'T WALK ANYONE!!!!

[Lefty Specialist]

Well, that was fun.

[Edgy MD]

I'm not sure I remembered to buy Tyler Jay insurance.

[Bob Alpacadaca]

This is getting scarier than it should be.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Gotdamn, Wood is a big fella.

[Frayed Knot]

Here's the game plan Tyler: DON'T WALK ANYONE!!!!

He didn't listen.

[Centerfield]

What a stupid fucking move by Mendoza to let the tying run come up before making the switch.

[Lefty Specialist]

Okay, just fuck this bullpen. Stearns, you HAVE to do something.

[Edgy MD]

Tyler Jay worked HARD to get to the point where the tying run is on.

[Frayed Knot]

This is just stunning!
I'm starting to think we've got a decent chance of winning this one.

And note that I didn't say we had a Good chance of winning ... merely that we had a decent one.

[Frayed Knot]

Do the Nats dare try a double steal?
Probably not.
