🔴 LIVE: Colorado Rockies vs Washington Nationals ⚾ MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL LIVE 📻 WBC THE SHOW 🙏

on with a walk 25-year-old from Albuquerque New Mexico Mitchell Parker ready for the first pitch of tonight’s ball game Raises the arms to the sky Comes down and the center field door is open We’ve waited an hour 45 minutes for baseball We’ll wait a few more seconds because there’s nobody out there to close the gate Jacob Young saying “Anybody there?” Cuz they have to lock it from the back right jacob Young’s closing the left side I mean come on But now one of the grounds crew members is going to sprint out all the way to center field Jacob Young is missing There he is He’s going to get a hand because he’s closed the left side door I guess they have a thing that goes down and locks it into a a latch at the ground But the other door has got to be closed from the outside cuz you otherwise if it’s not locked in place somebody run right through it knock it open And if Jacob Young does it from the the outside of the wall we have no center fielder That’s right All right Now the 402 mark is visible to us So now they had to open the left door close the right door and close the left door I guess the right door had to close first Probably a latch that slides through both of them So now we’ll wait another minute and we’re ready for baseball Parker hands the sky Part two He steps into his windup and the first pitch on the way to Freeman That’s right down the middle of strike 93 mph Officially delivered at 8:31 It should have been 8:30 but 8:31 thanks to the door Hour and 46 minute delay prior to first pitch Parker back in with the 01 Looks it over It’s a fast ball low to the outside One ball one strike Season Freeman at 309 with a homer His batting 409 over his last 16 games Here’s the pitch from Parker Foul off Freeman’s foot He goes hobbling out of the batter’s box with the ball rolling down the third base line and he’s shaken up Freeman walks off the sting We’ll remind you that first pitch time and temperature brought to you by Offen Bachers 831 first pitch 78° under what’s now mostly clear sky Steman Hearn Annapolis Gainesville or Rockville Huge selection of outdoor furniture fire pits hot tubs and swim spas Freeman hops back into the box for the one-two from Parker Here it comes It’s too high Two balls two strikes Freeman really tough to strike out That stands out in this lineup that leads the majors in strikeouts He’s only fanned eight times this year He’s been hit by six pitches It’s almost as likely hit by a pitch than swinging this at a pitch The two swing a slicing drive foul on the right field side had three of those times being hit were in last night’s game which not only tied a franchise record tied the major league record CJ Abrams did it himself for the Nationals that last trip games in Arizona The wind up and the two from the left-hander swinging a foul back and Abrams can commiserate about their various bumps and bruises Even more rare than that he’s the second player in major league history to record one hit one walk and back be hit by a pitch three times in the same game Guy who specialized in getting hit by pitches the only other guy to do it Ron Hunt in 1969 The two best ball high three and two for a long time He was the major league record holder in being hit by pitches and then on Baylor passing him He used to choke up almost all the way to the trademark and stand right on top of the plate Eventually a Craig Vigio pass both Now the 3-2 from Parker made a pop up foul out of play to the right Tough guy guys who got hit a lot Dave like Don Baylor Vio the guys you mentioned were all really good hitters Ron Hunt wasn’t especially like this great power hitter or hit for a huge high average Vio a Hall of Famer and Baylor was not a Hall of Famer Won an MVP and was a terrific slugger for his career Ron Hunt is known for that one thing Three balls two strikes Long at bat here And the pitch number nine is lined to right center field That’s going to be a base hit up the gap Racing over Lyall and Young Lyall picks it up edge of the warning track as Freeman’s into second with a double Man he is a tough out Can’t strike him out And on the ninth pitch he doubles to right center leading off the ball game win this series He’s three for six with that walk and the he hit five pitches Nationals are struggling to get him out Here’s Kyle Farmer Farmer not playing in the first two games Veteran right-handed hitting utility player starting at second base tonight 230 hitter three homers 17 driven in Parker holds the set fires it’s outside with a curve Rockies second baseman the first two games Tyro Estrada was hit on the hand by a pitch and came out of the game early last night So he’s not in there tonight against the lefty Parker But Farmer is a right-handed batter Still get the platoon edge pitch So a line drive hammer to left Wood racing over and in He reaches out He makes a nice running catch and will throw it in toward the infield Ball was roped by Farmer but a good play by Wood to his left Freeman has to hold it second One away A hold of a breaking ball that dropped in over the middle of the plate Hit it hard And David Martinez has talked about all the talk about Wood They have really noticed his first step Breaks on balls hit to the outfield much much better than beginning the year He’s worked at it Here’s Jordan Beck left fielder right-handed hitter the bat behind his ear as Parker throws and the fast ball line drive caught by a leaping shortstop Abrams He climbs the ladder and robs Beck of a base hit for out number two He thought about throwing to second but Freeman got back Heck of a play by Abrams levitating to grab the second out of the inning He’s looking up at the video board and see a replay of it Really good play Ball hit hard Bucker getting some good plays behind him now Two in a Yeah they they’ve hit three rockets Two of them are out which he really needs in this first inning Here’s Michael Tolia Pitch on the way to Tolian Parker spins off a curveball for a strike Yeah right now you don’t care if they hit three Rockets as long as he gets three outs then settle in after that He’s twothirds of the way there facing Tolia who’s come back from the minor leagues in this series with a huge series Had two homers last night overall four hits Here’s the pitch expand a tapper foul right to the on hitter Brent Doyle Nice grab But has done his damage this series left-handed He’s batting right hand against Parker and down 0 and two Just underway after an hour and 46 minute delay Runner at second Freeman Parker The no two count Deals home Misses in the dirt Ball one The Nationals defensively Nathaniel Low at first Luis Garcia at second Steve Abrams at short with Brady House at third James Wood Jacob Young the doorman Alen Mile in the outfield left to right and Kbert Ruiz behind the plate for a second straight game One ball two strikes Parker staring at the runner Freeman at second Now deals to the plate and that is in there Strike three called He bends in a curveball over the outside and Mitchell Parker delivers a scoreless top of the first inning thanks to his defense of the bottom half Nashville’s will face Hermon Marquez when we return

Steel where a commitment to our veterans is made here Mitchell Parker with his first scoreless first inning in his last five starts So Nationals come to bat looking to take the lead here against the 30-year-old right-hander from San Felix Venezuela Hermon Marquez 61 240 lbs is Marquez His 189th major league start eight against the Nationals Pitch to CJ Abrams taken That’s just low with a sinking fast ball at 93 It’s a 275 nine homers He’s had a couple of hits and three steals in this series The 10 He takes ball two low and inside from Marquez 91 hits allowed in 68 innings for the veteran righty That’s a 318 batting average against deals in and the two is ripped fouled past first base coach Herardo Parra former Rocky Only four pitchers or only three pitchers that actually have given up more hits than him The seventh overall in hits allowed in the M Working quickly the 2-1 Abrams check swing foul to the back stop pull the trigger fully on a center cut fast ball just 48 strikeouts the 68 in the ball in play a lot 22 walks he’s given up seven homers generally a ground ball pitcher RC the third baseman moves off the line now with a two- two count now some issue with the pitchcom and the catcher of Wolfford the shade under five innings Last time out was a good start One run over five innings left with a lead against the Braves but the Rockies bullpen caved in They lost 12 to four He’s gone as many as seven innings Wford going over to get a new pitch device He laid the signs to Marquez For the Rockies defensively Michael Tullley at first Kyle Farmer at second Ryan Ritter at short and we mentioned Orlando Arcia the former Brave at third Jordan Beck Brentton Doyle Sam Hillyard at the outfield and the rookie Fulford is still having an issue It’s 8:41 We’re in the first inning I think I thought Marquez could hear it but apparently Fulford couldn’t hear his own signaling device You know Marcus for as long as he’s been around you mentioned not striking a lot this year but he is the franchise leader in career strikeouts They’ve surpassed number 48 Dar Roa the lefty Oh sure Darosa was probably the best pitcher they’ve ever had as far as pitching at Coors Field He he figured out how to do it wasn’t intimidated by it Marquez sharing a laugh with Orlando RC is playing catch while the catcher uh was working on his pitch come and he airmeled RC from about 45 ft away It was simply a terrible throw Nationals hope would be that wild throwing 60 ft 6 in So Abrams digs in the two- two pitch coming home Swing and it’s popped up behind the plate Wford ranging back This one is out of his reach and over the screen It’s still two and two What about all the struggles to get pitchers to pitch in Colorado or even there he is third in franchise history with 67 wins Aaron Cook the most with 72 It’s a ball outside three and two He and Darosa Jimenez guys who had success pitching in Denver It’s a short list It’s a 3-2 pitch in the dirt C Abrams draws a leadoff walk in the bottom of the first inning I like that bring James Wood to the plate Whenever he steps into the batters box that means here comes the lumber crafted by Ace Trim Carpentry Value to your home building process and helping you sell homes faster East Trim Carpentry home builders trade partner Wood had a couple of hits and a homer in game one Last night was hitless but drew two walks Abrams at first You can run on Marquez A turn and a throw over Toliad makes the catch No tag opponents have stolen 14 of 15 this year on Marquez and Abrams has been very aggressive He’s moved into the top 10 in the National League in steals Here’s the set at the belt He’s off to the races Pitch is outside The throw from Fulford is high A jumping catch made by Ritter with no tag So Abrams steals his fourth base in this series and his 15th of the year It’s immediately in scoring position with a 10 count on Wood now moves into a tie for eighth in the National League in steals with Fernando Tatis Jr the Padres’s James Wood all over the NL leaderboard Tied for sixth in homers Tied for sixth in RBI’s tied for sixth in walks Here’s the pitch Breaking ball in for a strike 18 homers 51 driven in He’s also tied for six with 18 doubles He’s sixth in everything Here’s the set Marquez deals check swing That’s off speed A curve there for a strike One and two Off field plays Wood the other way Abrams at second and no outs Set at the belt Check on the runner and the one-two to the plate Check swing just outside has two walls two strikes Wood taps his bat on home plate twice to the box Those long arms He stands off the plate Get the arms extended to drive it out to anywhere The two swinging a miss Got him on the curves Is not a big strikeout pitcher as we mentioned this season but he gets wood on a curve for out number one They have got him really dropped out of that one Really good pitch So here’s Luis Garcia homered in the ninth inning last night A two-run shot his sixth batting 259 Marquez deals swinging a fly ball lifted to left Easy play for Jordan Beck Barely had to move and he makes the grab Garcia out on one pitch Nathaniel Low will come to the plate as we enter the heart of the lineup presented by the American College of Cardiology transforming cardiovascular care and improving heart health for all Visit them at acccc.org Daniel Low had a late home run last night eighth inning opposite field homer Then he nearly hit another an inning later doubling off the left center field wall So a two hit game getting his average up to 230 Need a two-out hit here in the first The pitch takes called strike Behind with a sinker Abrams at second after the walk and the steal but he’s anchored there with two down Marquez ready Kicks fires swing A high drive right field Got underneath it though Over toward the line is Hillyard drifting a bit He’ll make the catch So the Nationals leave Abrams at second through one inning at Nationals Park for an hour 46 minute rain delay No score here on the Nationals Radio Network Let’s see if we can figure out the following baseball slang term Today’s phrase is oppo taco Do you know what it means oppo taco A home run hit to the

hitless in the series 0 for nine He’s down to 194 Five homers 25 driven in deep in the box right side The lefty hurls it in and a ground ball rolled to short CJ Abrams will scoop will fire on to first It’s in time and Doyle out on one pitch Parker putting up a zero He allowed a first inning run or more in four consecutive starts That coincides the fact that he had lost his previous four starts of 6.16 He got through the first inning So last time he did that he got a win Braves Speaking of Braves the former Brave Orlando Arcia who was there that night didn’t play with Park Atlanta pitch and RC resting the bat on his shoulder A strike over the outside He basically didn’t play at all his last month with the Braves They let him go and the Rockies signed him He has played all over since joining Colorado tonight He’s starting at third base for Ryan McMahon Here’s the pitch Breaking ball Parker gets the knee Strike two He’s even played three games at first base Played at normal shortstop positions at second base and at third We haven’t seen in the outfield which he did occasionally with Atlanta before he became their shortstop The O2 was grounded third baseline a sliding stop House pops up but can’t get a hold of the baseball and will just hold on to it So House saved an extra base hit with a sprawling stop to his backhand but again the maybe the turf a little wet there and the dirt and he actually slid along the dirt with his throwing hand and when he reached in to grab the ball he didn’t get a good grip on the baseball So went to plant his left foot and spike kind of caught him His foot was a little sideways to see how show off that arm from deep third but didn’t get the grip So better to hold on to it Here’s Sam Hillyard pitch Hillyard a left-handed swinger takes inside He’s the only lefty that Parker is going to face in the lineup Everyone else either a righty or a switch Hillyard homerred last night the Rockies seven ters 258 hitter overall in his brief time in the big leagues this year Parker sets the 10 Takes the ball upstairs Two and nothing So right now Billyard is not to defend against the left hand pick Runner at first Arcia the two That’s a slider for a strike at the belt And they they don’t unless they wanted to play you know RC or somebody in the outfield They didn’t really have a a right-handed hitting outfield option Demoniac is not playing He’s a left-handed hitter Was able to play Maybe they would have played Pitch is grounded toward the middle Could be two Garcia shovels with his glove to Abrams for the out The quick turn to first is not hit a little too slowly Garcia got it there fairly quickly with the glove toss and Abrams had a quick turn at second but Hillyard runs well so he avoids the double play Two outs now runner at first Yeah you mentioned RC having played the outfield They could have done that We’re assuming Estrada got a sore head after getting hit yesterday Here’s the rookie shortstop Ryan Ritter with two down no score Ritter hitless in the series played all three games at short batting 189 since coming up a June 6th Bench fouled back over the screen bitter out of the University of Kentucky Ezekiel Tovar that he’s fine young starting shortstop has had a rough year due to injury He was not healthy when the Nationals played in Denver in April He had a hip contusion Now he has an oblique strain There’s the 01 Ritter takes a fast ball high Won a gold glove last year and led the National League in doubles It’s a good young player Ritter getting his chance and they could play Arcia but they’re giving Ritter a long look 1-1 the count with Hillyard at first The pitch swinging a foul back Ritter took a rip at a high one and it’s one and two He was having a good year at TripleA 305 16 home runs take his time out of course a lot of that time you’re playing at altitude in the Pacific Coast League so get to see how his back really plays at this level you’re not always a good place to hit Mitchell Parker’s hometown not always great place to pitch on to the count here it comes So we had a line drive up the middle It’s caught by Arranging Garcia He was shaded toward the middle a couple of steps to his right and the inning over No runs one infield hit one left Middle of inning two Nationals and Rockies No score on the Nationals Radio Network [Music] Moments in baseball have been

fand dc.com Here’s the pitch to Brady House House swings and launches one down the right field line but it’s going to slice foul deep to the corner House just a little late on that one for strike one No score Bottom of the second Von Marquez the veteran facing the youngster in his third big league game 01 delivery to house This ball inside corner for a strike at 95 House had his first two hits last night His first RBI on a single in the ninth inning Now Marquez started his wind up and then stepped off Reset the clock that you’re not supposed to be able to do And now the O2 swing a looping line drive shallow left that’s going to fall in for a hit One bounce fielded by Beck the left fielder and Brady House as his third major league hit all in the last four plate appearances Singles on an O2 slider backed up on Marquez running in So he didn’t get the great part of the bat on him but dropped it in front too cuz hits have kind of been that way Refrain in the big league There’s Josh Bell hitter from left side Here’s pitch He’s for a strike with Bell having been around the league few times and a little bit of time in the NL West with the Padres’s He has 26 at bats against Marquez with three hits but all extra base hits A double two homers It’s a lot of at bats The 01 with the runner gone is outside The throw is going to be wide and Brady House over slides but stays on the base as the shortstop Ritter was not there for the tag Brady House has his first major league stolen base here in the second inning House did not have a steal at Triple A was not the most acrobatic slide of all time and it was lucky the throw was off because he overslid the bag by a good bit He’s trying to do a popup slide feet first and kind of skid it as the base The 01 is lines to right center field chasing back and over the center fielder Doyle with a leaping running catch Oh what a play House most of the way to third Has to get back to second and he does Oh Doyle flat out robs Bell goes from left center to deep right center and with a leaf a lunge and a reach Takes extra bases and an RBI away from Josh Bell That’s a gold glove play for a two-time Gold Glove winner He went across and then angled back Great play with the leap the steps from the track Marquez throwing a fist in the air A house stays at second Talk about that Here’s Dalon L on the pitch Swing and a miss and a curve with no outs He’s got to be back at second to tag in case that ball is caught His read might have been that was over the center fielder’s head Here’s the set and Marquez delivers Got a pop up third base side out of play Again a young player with a learning moment A runner at second with no outs You don’t play it halfway or he was most of the way to third You’ve got to be back to tag He took off like he thought that was going to be over his head which if it was he could still score pretty easily anyway Even if you’re standing on second base Here’s the set The O2 to Lyall Gayen takes the ball to dirt Good play by Fulford to block it out in front of the plate with his chest protector Well a lot with a lot of center fielders Dave that probably is going to the most Jacob Young could go get that one House at second one out no score a two delivery Takes up and away Had some good at bats last night but had a tough 0 for five after his first big league homer Game one of the series on Monday Two balls two strikes Here’s the pitch Swing a line drive to left Beck moving over and he makes makes a running catch Throws to second House gets back in there as the throw rolls past It’s backed up by Tolia So Lyle hits a hard line drive out to left and the runner has to hold Let’s pause It’s a good play by Beck Not an easy play the way that was Let’s pause for station identification of the Nationals Radio Network WJFK FM and HD1 Manasses and WPGC HD2 Morningside Sports Radio 1067 Odyssey Sports Station Time called Hermon Marquez steps off Dave Jagler Charlie Slows from the Nissan Broadcast booth They’ve charged an automatic violation Marquez was saying “I couldn’t hear with my pitchcom device.” But the home plate umpire Jordan Baker says “No it was under 5 seconds to hear him say too late.” They gave him a pass earlier on stepping off with nobody on base All right Well now he’s changed it to a disengagement Okay And so he took away the violation Say he stepped off which technically he did So it’s an O count Here’s the pitch to Ruiz Gets in there at the knees for a strike The scoreboard has one and one But again Jordan Baker rescended the violation saying that Marquez stepped off So I guess the Rockies talked him out of it because you have the runner at second And now Marquez has been warned for coming set too early So we had a warning and the count still of some confusion on the scoreboard Here’s the set The O1 to Ruiz Pass ball inside corner at the knees 0 and2 Ruiz batting eighth in the order 252 hitter with a couple of homers Now Ruiz will take a timeout So we’ve got a lot going on We’ve had Yeah everybody’s confused Marquez was asking with the countest and and Jordan Baker held up a fist and a two a left-handed fist right-handed two So that meant 02 and have one batter timeout and one disengagement and one warning for coming set too quickly We’ve had a lot the O2 in the dirt for ball one All that happened with two pitches being delivered You had a violation rescended a disengagement a batter timeout a warning to the pitcher and everyone confused on the count except for us They still are Now they’ve got it One and two on All right So House at second One two the count on Ruiz And the pitch swing to pop up back to the left Out of play But I get it cuz it looked like he signaled violation Oh he did Did But the the Rockies talked him out of it saying no he stepped off and I think Baker realized that indeed he did So he corrected Marquez to Ruiz and a ground ball toward the hole left side It’s cut off by the third baseman Arcia He’s got a cannon He throws shot to first in time for the out Second inning in a row The Nationals had a runner at second with nobody out Failed to get him over or get him in after two Nothing nothing on the

seven knocked in His third stick for the club Parker delivers First pitch fast ball low ball one Pitch number 29 Remember Fulford hit his first big league homer against the Nationals but he had some throwing issues in that series The Nets have stolen two bases on him tonight They remember that series Now the wind of the pitch outside Two balls in no strikes From Albuquerque on April the 14th sent back on the 25th and up for just two days The double header and then fall back again June the 10th for good Stallings was let go They carry three catches for a time Parker delivers Swinging a grounder foul outside of third Rocky’s third base coach Von Gideon on the lines at first Had three throwing errors in one game against the Mets It’s hard to do Now the pitch swinging a line drive up the middle Base hit into center field 93 mph fast ball taken back through the middle by Fulford Pitch was up in the zone about Bell High and out over the plate So a leadoff single Those three errors for Fulford are his only errors for the big leagues Top of the order now Tyler Freeman the batter A double to right center but left right there Leading off the game with that hit Parker from the stretch Kicks delivers The first pitch break ball low and away Ball wide and set up looking for two with Garcia toward the middle Straight up for Abrams at short It’s about five steps the bag at third field round toward left with a bit in right center Swing and a miss and a curve ball and the count One ball one strike A couple of steps to left center with a touch toward the line but right fielder Lyle is straight away Mo is holding against the runner at first Now the pitch for Parker Fast ball seemed to be right there just a hair inside and the count is two and one Mitchell Parker 25 years of age 64 245 lbs now with New Mexico made his offseason home in West Palm Beach Florida Now the pitch waving swing and a miss The breaking ball with the count Two balls two strikes fooled him there Good looking swing that time by Freeman Our fifth round pick for the Nationals in 2020 Sinto College in Texas Here comes S He kicks and fires Swing a ground ball right at the short stop Abrams has it cleanly to Garcia for one up the first a double play 6-4 to3 the Nationals turn their 52nd double play of the year so two out nobody on the leadoff single erased Parker induces his sixth double play of the year so now Kyle Farmer will bat with two out and nobody on he lied out to left center field his only time out in the first inning his 20th started at second base for the Rockies Parker delivers in there called strike He’s played all over Starting nine games at short nine games at first another at third up with the Dodgers pitch That one’s low Balling a strike Robert came up as a catcher with the Dodgers some second base and Cincinnati played multiple position has two years with Minnesota doesn’t catch it now the pitch swing and a line drive shallow right center that’s going to fall in at base end comes up to get it Harvard jogs around first and will make the turn and hold so the Rockies with their second in of the inning and their fourth of the game that’ll bring The left fieldielder Jordan Beck batted lead off here on Monday night Went 0 for three with a walk He did not play last night He was robbed of a hit on a liner that was over the head of CJ Abrams who left his feet to snare it Straightaway stands for back a bit forward in the box Parker delivers It’s too high for the curve ball Garcia again way towards the middle against the right-handed hit in second base leaving most to the right side of the infield wide open with low holding the runner Parker to the bell kicks and delivers fast ball back Two balls in no strikes Has been the primary left fielder this year for the Rockies His 55th start out there Now the pitch that’s in there Paul striking the knees with a curve ball Two and one Began the year with the big league club He was sent down for a little less than two weeks Albuquerque played in eight games We called on April the 19th Now the pitch That one’s just low curve ball and Parker’s behind three and one Michael Tullia the cleanup man on deck Parker 44 pitches into his outing hasn’t thrown a splitter yet Usually a bigger part of his arsenal is to rely heavily on the curve ball Now he steps off this engagement for the 3-1 count Three toes It’s mostly middle of the rubber which is unusual these days Pitchers usually pick a side He kicks delivers 3-1 Line down the left field line toward the corner That’s going to get down for a base hit Played off the wall by Wood Heading to third is Farmer He’ll be held there as the throw comes in along the third base line and foul ground Gobbled up by Brady House near the coach’s box came with a fast ball on three and one and the pitch was thigh high and Beck lines it toward the left field corner First 13th double of the year third hit of the inning The double play huge right now for the National Rockies have runners on second and third Fortunately Wood got to it quickly and took a pretty good hard bounce off the wall So he was releasing the throw and Farmer wasn’t even near third base No choice but to hold him Here is Tolio who was called out on strikes and a breaking ball in the first inning Switch hitter batting right-handed slightly open stance The pitch over the

Jacob Young fists an inside fast ball the other way to right field Nationals have their second in the lead off base runner who is a threat to run with Marquez not being good at holding runners and Pulford’s throwing issues that he’s had against the Nationals Nats have already stolen two bases Both lead off men who have reached Abrams and House have stolen CJ may take a pitch here Let Jacob run Abrams stole his 100th career pace of the first inning Young the lead and a turn and a throw over Young hitting the dirt back in It’s first to the base Bit by glove or does it oh regular Oh he does have Here’s a set and a throw over again He dives back handles a low throw with no attack So then that’s two throws over And at some point here he’s going to run if not on the very next pitch You would think right here Five steals for Young He has been caught on first five times Now the set and does not go Pitch Abrams tied away Bford flying up out of the crouch almost like a pitch out Yep Be going or he had a chance back toward B Now the set way to a bigger lead and the pitch Abs takes fast ball is low That just might have caught a break there That pitch looked like a strike at the knees And Young was off to the races and he stopped He He was early jumping and then second guessed himself Got a big lead now Now the set and there he goes Pitch swung on hit high in the air Fouled off third chasing is Arcia Long run He’s there under it and makes an over the shoulder catch Playing in or going back on an angle Makes a good catch There’s one away Doug probably had that base stolen with that jump A two- count AS figured he would take one there to to have a runner in scoring position Here is James Wood to stand in now for the Nationals Now that res resets disengagement Marquez can throw over again Here’s the set He holds He holds the pitch to Wood That one’s a fast ball Missed a little bit high Wood struck out and swinged over a curveball in the first inning Really good pitch Guarded down and in He’s deep in the box off the plate Open stands Now the runner goes pitches a strike The throw by Pulford and the tag He’s out Short stop taking the throw It was perfect by Pulford And Young is out two to six if you’re scoring The count one and one on Wood Fulford throws out his second runner in the season And that’s Oh he stole a couple Pitch in for a strike to Wood and I mean that was called a ball Two and one just low Hard to figure the strike sent out some pitches that have been in the zone called balls That one was swinging a miss and a count of two and two in the breaking ball 85 miles an hour Two out nobody on is now two out of 10 throwing out from this year in the big leagues Here’s the pitch Wood lays off and outside Marcus looking through his follow through knowing that curve ball was not a good one up and away Three and two to James Wood The wind pitch he takes Or does he they’ll appeal on the check swing Third base umpire Stu Sherwatter says no swing So that’s ball four to Wood draws his team leading 44th walk and the Nationals now have a base runner with two out and Luis Garcia Jr The batter Garcia came into the game with a six-game inning streak Out on the first pitch he saw in the first inning Did nine of 11 14 of 17 324 average over the And now the pitch That one taken low ball one Slider Marquette outfield swung the other way against Garcia toward left Left fielder back fairly shallow now The set by Marquez and the pitch Swag a lot drive center field That’s a base hit Wood will go to second as it’s right to Doyle Quickly

the plate A good one Knocked down out in front by Fulford Came away from the plate to get it on the grass Seeing that wood was held So now the bases are loaded with two out Be the left fielder for the Rockies You have to consider him when the ball is hit to him He is tied for the major league lead and outfield assist with seven His throat will be cut but it was accurate toward the plate If the catcher was back at the plate yeah if Wood tries to score Fulford doesn’t come in front of the plate It’s one hop on target He has a great arm as you said That was a really good throw Here’s Brady House with a base is loaded and the pitch swing He goes after the first one and grabs a foul outside of third on a first pitch ball I mean normally Ricky Gutierrez is going to be aggressive because Wood is a fast base runner but that one is right at the left fielder hard charging not all that deep and left Marquez sets house looks it over and bets ball just low to the outside One ball one strike So wood at third Garcia at second Nathaniel Low at first Two out Base is loaded for the Nationals Marquez sets kicks delivers swinging along to his left by Orlando Arcia Down on his back helped up by

line on a curve ball So all five pitches in this inning have been curve balls Be interesting to hear why that is Maybe he’s coming into the game he was throwing the splitter 18% of the time So maybe he feels like he was getting beat on Maybe he’s trying to ending average Tinker with it Change it Average against was 283 Slugging 547 Here’s the O2 Another curveball Six in a row It’s in the dirt All

miss He struck him out on a slider That’s out number one here in the last of the ninth Here’s Ket Ruiz He’s grounded out twice Last time up Brent Doyle robbed him with a nice sliding catch The liner

mound Talk over the game plan Call one of the National’s best on base options and that’s what you need It’s somehow someway him to get on to make Abrams the tying run Paul is a pinch hitter He’s one for three He’s been walked as a pinch hitter He’s been hit as a pinch hitter Been hit by pitches six times So somehow he’s got to find his way on here One Colorado Two outs last of the ninth Overall Alex at 276 He’s drawn 20 walks with 379 on base percentage Albertson ready He kicks He fires And that one was way behind call 102 mph That pitch was almost wide of the home plate circle I never seen anything like that before It was behind Cole by 10 ft or more That one missed halfway to the If the batting cage was out there in batting practice it would have missed the cage Here’s the set and the 10 Then he dots the inside corner with a splitter You almost wonder if he did it on purpose Like how do you miss a pitch and be in the big leagues by that much slipped It’s almost I don’t know Here’s the set One-1 delivery right down the middle at 102 The same guy who screwed that pitch two pitches ago Just did that Ball’s going to take a timeout The Nationals down there Final strike Ball digs

like that all night Some have been strikes some have been balls on the fringe but uh Wow after throwing one that far I even call it in after that far behind him The next three pitches were just paint I I swear that they they said to do that the mountain visit the way Throw one way behind him And he’ll never dig in Yes that was that was bizarre And he just absolutely painted at 102 That is no

win again three to one Rockies who came in just 14 wins have three wins in a row in this series and four straight overall Welcome to the Verizon Nationals postgame show Following game three Grant Pollson is standing by Take your calls at 8006361067 Mitchell Parker taking on the veteran right-hander Herman Marquez And Parker was able to get through a first inning unscathed for one of the few times in recent starts gave up a leadoff double to Tyler Freeman who got three consecutive outs including a good leaping catch by CJ Abrams to end top of the first inning Nationals in the bottom of the first inning had a CJ Abrams leadoff walk and a stolen base Nationals early in this game could not move runners along James Wood struck out Garcia flyed to left and Nathaniel Low fly to right The Nationals didn’t score Parker pitched a scoreless second inning and again the Nationals had a chance in the bottom of the second Brady House led off with a bloop single and he stole second for his first big league steal The theme of the night was the Nationals getting robbed by the Rockies defensively and the first of those was Josh Bell who had a seemingly an extra base hit to right center field but Brenton Doyle the gold glove winner made a great running catch in the alley Brady House was not tagging up He was halfway between second and third so he had to stay at second with one out Dalen Lyle lined out to left and Kar Ruiz grounded out Mitchell Parker pitched around trouble stranding runners at second and third In the top of the third and the game stayed scoreless The bottom of the third was a real dagger of an inning for the Nationals Jacob Young led off with a single The Nationals were running wild on Hermon Marquez but after a CJ Abrams popup Young was caught stealing second So Young is just 5 for 11 in stolen bases this season Nationals restarted a rally James Wood singled Luis Garcia singled Wood to second And then Nathaniel Low singled to load the bases with Wood unable to score against Jordan Beck the great arm in left field Some Nationals had the bases loaded Brady House at the plate This turned out to be perhaps the play of the game Two out bases loaded for the Nationals Marquez sets kicks delivers swinging along to his left by Orlando Down on his back helped up by the shortstop He absolutely flat out robs Brady House of a base hit At least one run maybe two And the inning over on a spectacular play by Orlando Arcia Unbelievable Of all the times the Nationals would get robbed that one definitely stung the most From there both starters settled in Mitchell Parker working his curveball Did not throw splitters tonight at all It was curveball after curveball He struck out four consecutive Rockies over the fourth and fifth innings and he had two one two three frames Same goes for the Nationals They went out one two three against Marquez in the fourth and fifth And then Parker got two strikeouts in a row to start the sixth inning So Parker was at seven Ks He was one out away from six shutout innings But the man who began the series coming up from Triple A did it to the Nationals again Michael Tolia Parker delivers swinging a fly ball to left field deep sending Wood back way back looking up and it’s gone into the Rockies bullpen in left center field So Michael Tolia who had a two home run game last night as his third home run of the series That is five hits for him in the series in 12 at bats including three home runs And the scoreless tie ends here in the top of the sixth inning with a two out solo homer for Tuli His ninth of the year It’s the Rockies one and the Nationals nothing Nationals will try to answer back in the bottom of the six They had a pair of two out singles from Brady House who had a two- hit game and Josh Bell putting runners at first and third Rockies take Hermon Marquez out bring in Jake Bird and Bird retires Dalen Lyle in a ground out stranding runners at the corners Then in the seventh inning leadoff batter Orlando Arcia against Brad Lord Hit a slicing drive to right Dalen Lyle didn’t get the best read He attempted a diving catch and never got a glove on the ball That turns a single into a triple Two batters later the Rockies pull off the rare these days suicide squeeze And the pitch running inside on Ryan Ritter And in self-defense he got the bunt down ended up down in the dirt but it was a successful squeeze bunt because RCA scored and the Rockies with a two nothing lead after 6 and a half Brent Doyle made another sliding catch to rob Kbert Ruiz in the seventh inning but with two down the Nationals rallied CJ Abrams worked a good at bat for a walk and James Wood stepped to the plate next So Kevin Abrams will be on the move Now the pitch from within swap to right center field in the that’s going to a speeds towards third He will come all the way to score as wood puts into second with the double His 19th two base hit of the year and his 52nd run batted in gets the Nationals on the board here in the bottom of the seventh inning Keeps the time at second with two It’s the Rockies two and the Nationals one Nationals with the chance with the tying run at second Luis Garcia the batter Garcia swung it a first pitch slider from Juan Mahia Grounded out to the second baseman leaving Wood at second Jose a Ferrer came on for the eighth inning got the first two outs but then surrendered a solo homer for Jordan Beck The Rockies with their 12th home run in three games in the series and a 3-1 advantage Tyler Kinley worked the 123 eighth inning and then Seth Halverson the flamethrowing closer struck out Dalon Lyall retired Kar Ruiz on a line out and then threw a first pitch so far behind Alex Call it’s almost indescribable and he threw three consecutive strikes call never took the bat off his shoulder 102 mph fast ball over the outside corner ended the game and the Nationals their 11th consecutive loss Rockies win it three to one nationals will try to salvage one game on the series and put an end to this miserable skid tomorrow with a 105 game 1235 Nats on deck Trevor Williams against the rookie Chase Golander Up next we’ll bring in Grant

Back here at Nationals Park the Branson Nationals postgame show with Grant Paulson all in to talk about this one 8006361067 8006361067 Grant we see all types of games over the course of a season and many seasons And if you were just taking this game by itself and not be in the midst of this losing streak you go “Okay well they played well This is just a night where the Rockies played unbelievable defense despite being the team that’s been the worst fielding team in baseball Unbelievable Yeah it’s hard to explain the luck they had tonight I know that that’s not going to butter the bread for frustrated fans as they’re waiting on a win to break up an 11ame skid They don’t want to sit here on their way home in traffic and hear me talk about how hard the Nats hit the ball But to your point if there wasn’t 10 losses that preceded this one I think you kind of look at this as you got unlucky process was pretty good you try again tomorrow They had 11 balls batted at 99 miles an hour or more which are rockets and only four games What was their You spent time before the game during the delay talking about expected batting average What would that be for tonight well this this is a perfect example of where you can hit rockets and get nothing to show for it Absolutely right And what we talked about before the game to your point Charlie was as a team this year their batting average is 22nd in baseball their expected batting average is fourth in Major League Baseball Tonight they had a three unbelievable a 320 expected batting average and they had one run to show for it They had 10 batted balls over 100 in game one of the series So there’s no doubt they are hitting into some bad luck at this point but at some point someone’s got to come through with a big at bat You got to string a couple of hits together They’ve got to manufacture runs They had another caught stealing for Jacob Young That’s three in a row He’s been thrown out six out of 11 times this year They got to figure it out They got to get a win We sound like a broken record but you get six innings in one run for Mitchell Parker who has a season high in strikeouts You got to make that count for something Yeah he was really good I mean it it was interesting and I’ll be curious to see if he’s asked about it There was there were no splitters tonight He threw the splitter uh in the in the trash can and it was going heavy curveball and we’ll see is that something specific to him and what he’s feeling or is that to this lineup you know knowing that they did damage last night in fast ball you know struggled with Sroka’s breaking ball but hit his fast ball They hit homers off the bullpen fast balls and maybe that was the thing there to try to mix it up But you know the the one guy who homered against him Tolia was sitting on a curveball You had the hitter before first three pitches were curveballs He looked at a fast ball right down the middle Yeah But when once it got to two and0 on Ti he missed with two curves I think Tuli was just saying you know what I’m going to sell out on a curveball and he hit it out because he’s thrown so many and he had tripled up on it several times in the game already But it’s tough to second guess Parker’s throwing a curveball there because the curveball was so good for him But that just that that’s the one that cost him in a nothing nothing game If you you had some margin to play with if you’re you know if you’re up three to nothing you give up a solo homer on a curveball So what but then you’re going hey one pitch cost you the loss right you usually say well one run solo homer doesn’t beat you You know but you know you look at the run that end up being the the margin of difference You have the ball hit by Arcia and Dale and Lyall little bit of a you know ciruitous route to get to it and then it’s do or die to dive for it and can’t knock it down Ends up being a triple and then you know crazy thing when when you’re seeing Ritter up there after Hillyard struck out they put the suicide squeeze on and the pitch is right at the hitter It’s either going to hit his bat or hit him one or the other And he’s falling down as he bunts the ball back He’s down at the back of the batters box and RC is crossing in front of him to score Unbelievable And it was deep tape too right because you’re as he squares and comes around you’re coming up and in toward the bat Everything was perfect and it ended up being really unlucky because the Nats kind of froze as you got a body at the plate and the the squeeze was on the Parker on the splitter Dave on the year He’s thrown almost 20% splitters I know this season pointed that out So they’re throwing one That be late They tracked him for one out of his 84 pitches Yeah Okay Cuz it was zero most of the night I must have snuck by me at the kne the last batter but uh he he was at none most of the night And the splitter was like what a 540 slugging percentage So maybe that’s why he put it on the shelf Maybe he’s working to reinvent it You know different different uh type of movement on it since it hasn’t been good lately So go what’s been better And his curve ball was devastating at times I don’t know a lot about a lot I know that if you got a 550 slug against one of your pitches you should throw it less So that’s a good plan I think whatever they did and and frankly like he’s had a couple of starts especially early in the year You guys remember first four or so trip
