    Nationals hitters may not be better pure hitters than Astros hitters but they sure get big hits in big moments when they need them.

    I'm not going to overreact to one game. Bats need to be better, gotten a guy on base early in the inning 5 out of the 6 thus far, then struggled to do anything productive.

    Same problem we've dealt with all postseason.

    Brantley should have caught that ball by Soto, he was there, he is left handed all he had to do was reach his right hand up to catch the ball, instead he turned to look at the wall.

    Major Gaffe there....would be 3-2.

    Let's hope it's like the Yankees series where it will come around.

    I didn't see that play a 2nd time but yeah, at first glance it did look catchable.

    3 more innings, need to keep them from scoring and hope they can scratch out some big hits the rest of the game. To me the biggest disappointment which has made this postseason more stressful is Bregman. He has failed so many times in big spots. If he was just average these games probably wouldn't have been as stressful as they have been.

    The fastball and knuckle curve is the only pitches he has command of. Curious to see if he just keeps pounding those.

    The ball literally hit 6 inches above his head on his glove side.....I mean - reach up, catch it.

    I hope that isn't it...this is the WS.....I hope he just lost it.
