Was a ball too. If you’re up 2-0 in the count, then you can wait to get a strike pitch he has to throw and drive it.

He saw the 2 guys in front of him get walked and he goes up hacking at the first pitch grounding into a double play. Sometimes their game situational awareness isn't all there.

I brought this up in the blog, they are third in the league at swinging at pitches out of the zone. They particularly Turner, Castellanos and Realmuto (schwarber when he’s ice cold) tend to do it more often. You don’t have to be as aggressive if the guy is missing the zone frequently. Let him have to throw strikes instead of chasing knowing he’s been out of the zone.
August 27, 20233 yr Harpers aggressive base running makes no sense to me. He thinks he’s speedy Gonzales and a routine base hit he thinks he can get 2 bases out of it.
August 27, 20233 yr Wheeler gives up a base hit and then removed from the game. What's the point of having him even go out there then?
August 27, 20233 yr Good lord, Castro doesn't even know the rules of tagging someone out. This guy is worthless.

Wheeler has been really against teams not named the nationals (had like 3-4 other so-so but he had two really bad starts against the nats and even his last two he struggled early). It’s pretty ridiculous how good his numbers our against everyone not named the nationals. Vs. nationals: 7.48 ERA, 1.43 WHIP (slash line .312/.323/.527/.850 and 18 ERs) vs. Everyone else 2.97 ERA, 1.02 WHIP (45 ERs)

Just saw this, really shouldn’t have sent him back out there. He’s already got a lot of innings on him. Up 11 runs no need for him to go back out there and potentially risk an injury even if he’s at 77 pitches. Frankly not sure why they went to soto as well. They don’t have an off day til Thursday and who knows if they’ll need him today. They definitely didn’t need to use him on Saturday. It really should’ve just been covey for two innings.
