Think George's interviews says otherwise, that or George is wrong as well

I don't disagree with your take but the whole notion of Tucker tagging from second on a ball to right-center field is just insane.... the last time I remember a tag from 2nd was Michael Borne (sp?) when a fly was hit to the hill. Please, someone correct me if I am wrong
Edit to add - tag from 2nd to home
Like I said it probably only happens in cases where you have a fast runner (which Tucker is), and a really difficult and deep hit to field.
The chance it happens may be more remote than I initially suggested, but overall the possible outcomes of him tagging are all superior to him getting a lead start...unless you think that Springer makes it to third if Tucker gets a running start, which I disagree with because Tucker was not in any way holding Springer back by tagging. Him sprinting at 100% he would not have been at second by the time the ball was dropped.

I am sorry but this is wrong. If the ball is hit deep and hits off the fence and then is fielded cleanly by RF, Tucker is out at home or held on 3rd. There is essentially no difference in being on 2nd or 3rd with 2 outs. Baserunning 101 and they failed. Hopefully it doesn't come back to seriously haunt them.

Tucker was already home by the time the ball reached the cutoff man on a play that was rather cleanly fielded after it was dropped. He would have still scored if it was fielded more efficiently.
How would it come back to haunt them? Tucker scored...

Springer not running hard out of the box and getting to 3rd

It was a great atmosphere and I saw some good stuff from some people I didn't expect it from. Looked like we had a hell of a game plan to put a boat load of pitches on Scherzer and that was executed well. No way that bullpen contains us for an entire World Series.
They stole one from us but I am confident we are positioned well and will still get them in 6. I have never not caught up on the thread before, but after seeing 1 post from EE on the last page of the thread and quickly checking his profile to see about 60 posts during the game with about a total of 6 stars, I think I will skip the **** show that obviously happened.
Props to Tucker for getting a WS hit, I literally sat down after his first cut and told my wife, I guess we will have to do this in the 9th, cause this dude is a joke. He shut me up with a nice piece of hitting. I can only imagine the defensiveness of dad concerning his son's base running, I am sure that was epic logic defying conversation, so I will avoid it.
Glad the place didn't burn down with out me, y'all get some good sleep and be ready for the ass whipping that will commence tomorrow!

This game changed on Uncle Mike's poor D on Sotos hit off the lf wall.
Really bad effort

We need Bregman to start hitting.
yep. I felt like the ump was really good last night except for against Bregman. Which is absurd.Oyster DuPree said:AustinAg2K said:
It looks to me like Bregman is going up there to draw a walk. Maybe he's just under the assumption he won't see good pitches, but even when he does swing the swings look more like he's just trying to protect the plate. He doesn't really look like he's trying to drive the ball.
It doesn't help that every time he goes up there it seems like they call one borderline pitch a strike early in the count
I don't think anybody needs to eat crow on Tucker just yet, he is who he is.AggiEE said:agsquirrel97 said:

No **** show happened. Just a bunch of people like yourself eating crow about Alvarez & Tucker. I'm with you on feeling pretty positive for the series overall despite the L.
Glad you had fun at the WS. But with the loss, please stay home next time

Bottom line....we need shutdown JV tonight. Our lineup has been too erratic this post season. JV must leave no doubt or this series is over.

The plate approach difference between Soto and Bregman is shocking right now
Soto going up to mash. Bregman going up to drive up pitch count I guess...maybe walk...definitely not looking to put one on the railroad track

I will say it since no one else will. This is all on his new GF. He is soft now. Not full of piss and vinegar. He is calm down. How can we expect him to hit piss missle home runs when he is getting a steady helping at home?!
This. Even with Cole giving up runs last night, the offense had plenty of opportunity to put them away. They have to absolutely step their game up if we are going to win. It certainly looks like the Nats hot streak is still going some run production needs to be at a premium. Not this bull**** we've gotten in the playoffs. Our big names have been so poor outside of Altuve.Philip J Fry said:Nino Brown said:

Double digit LOB is not going to get it done. The offense has to start hitting. .
VERY difficult to win this series with 2 losses at HOME with JV and Cole pitching. So, damn near a must win tonight.agproducer said:
I hate to use this term, but tonight feels like it's a must-win. We need lock down JV.
So...what you're saying is, his GF is toting the wheel barrow now?Forgiven_Ag said:Boiling Denim said:
