I honestly can’t be too mad at Luke. A chopper got one on. A single just outside the reach of Dansby and a freak pop-up bunt that landed to load the bases. Two of the three are outs 95%+ of the time. Just unlucky.

No doubt, though... Charlie MVP

I hate the Nats but love Scherzer. They scored and he rushed the field for the walk-off win only to realize it was the bottom of the 8th, not the 9th.

quote:

Adam Eaton raced around the bases, slid in headfirst just ahead of the throw and scored from first base on a double by Anthony Rendon, giving the Nationals the lead they had just relinquished in the top half of the inning.

And waiting for Eaton once he crossed the plate was Nationals ace Max Scherzer. The pitcher ran out onto the field to celebrate with Eaton on the game-winning run, only to turn around and realize that the rest of the dugout had stayed put -- because it was only the eighth inning.

I'm certainly no baseball or pitching expert, but if you know a guy is bunting, wouldn't you pitch the ball low to increase the chances of a ground ball? The pitch that Jackson threw was above the belt and when the guy made contact it went up and over the mound.
