Yeah, he's looked fine really. If this is how the Nats are going to play I feel confident. Much more scared of them when they are getting big hits.
You can't assume he would have hit it there without the shift - Rendon was very clearly poking the ball that direction, aiming for the hole.
Just 1 run. Just hate to see opposition score right of the bat. Takes a little of the steam out of the home crowd.
Can't win without scoring, so one run is fine. Hopefully, like he usually does after the 1st, JV will settle in. And as long as the defense doesn't play sloppy like in game 2, we'll be ok. Make Strasburg work and beat up on them or get to the bullpen. And just as I say that...
