@spencernusbaum_ Can we never see Weems again after this year? Please?

[Charles Booker @Booker4KY]

This is Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona. He is a lifelong Republican.

The tide is turning. Take a listen.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

Hey @scorebook_bob , ask Zim about the HR he hit against the Dodgers in the playoffs in ‘19. It’s now the 2nd highest pitch I’ve seen hit for a HR, behind Abrams’ the other day. How do they DO that?

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

This is sad.

[Melanie D'Arrigo @DarrigoMelanie]

U.S. Olympians are using their trip to the Olympics to get the basic preventative healthcare they can’t afford to get in the U.S.

We should be embarrassed that we’re the only industrialized country without universal healthcare — all because lobbyists pay off our politicians.

@MarkZuckerman Giants have 2 players, Conforto and Canha, that are on the “@Nats killers, meh against the rest of the league” club. What other league players fit this description?

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@TalkNats Does anyone keep stats on how many wrong ball/strike calls go against each team? Nats have to be leading the league in that department.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@spencernusbaum_ How else could “straight games” be but in a row?

@RVANats @NationalsSource @grantpaulsen Thank you for the suggestion. And thanks for the acknowledgment of hyperbole. When you use the word literally, I take it, well, literally.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@NationalsSource @grantpaulsen I think you can predict that it will be a win, eventually, but how can we say that when none of the players has proven to be a great MLB player yet?

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@grantpaulsen I agree to some extent but I think some people forget just how good Soto is, and will be for a long time, Nats got Gore, Wood, Hassell, Abrams, Susana. All are not yet proven good. Just saying jury is still out.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@MarkZuckerman When people talk about the Nats “winning” the Soto trade, we have to consider the huge disappointment MacKenzie Gore has been. He’s got “great stuff” and is “thisclose” to putting it all together, but he continues to stink.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@LONTDC1 @MoneyballMemes Just want to make sure you know it is MLB executive Billy Bean who passed away, not Oakland A’s exec and part owner Billy Beane, of Moneyball fame.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@LONTDC1 You may be thinking of Billy Beane, not Billy Bean. I made the same mistake when I first heard the news of Mr. Bean’s death.

@TalkNats @DonaldRElder @fangraphs One “homes in.” One does not “hone”in. Hone (sharpen) your skills. Home in (concentrate, center on) an issue. Just trying to help.

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@waltersbardc @grantpaulsen I found three, two on THE SAME STAFF!
Les Sweetland, 1930 Phillies, 167 IP, 7.71 ERA
Claude Willoughby, 1930 Phillies, 153 IP, 7.59 ERA
Jim Walkup, 1937 St.Louis Browns, 150.1 IP, 7.36 ERA

Among the worst pitchers of all time. Corbin not quite that bad, but he’s trying!

[Bill Mitchell @marbilstef]

@grantpaulsen Continuing to run Corbin out there every fifth day is a giant middle finger from Nats ownership to Nats fans, who have had to endure being crapped on repeatedly the last 4 years. Ain’t it fun?
