Bänke empty and bullpen implodes again at 6: 1 (updated)

Pittsburgh-a sleepy game between the Nationals and Pirates, in which the two teams were released in the PNC Park for one in front of a calm, four-digit quantity in PNC Park, was loud in seventh place tonight.

Loud because of Jorge López ‘inability to throw strikes. Loud due to the unjustified clearing of benches and bullpenses caused its lack of command. According to the surprise interpretation of López by a referee crew who did not seem to be inclined to do something until the Pirates manager Derek Shelton came out of the shelter to argue.

And ultimately loud, because the Grand Slam Oneil Cruz Eduardo Salazar crushed to transform a close, numerous affair into a 6-1-Rout from Pittsburgh in the recent example of a Bullpen Implosion in Washington.

The details might have looked different, but the result was too familiar for the nationals who had already seen how their impressed auxiliary corps alone converted two close competitions into blowouts on this road trip. And it cost her another shot at a rally for late inning, which could have turned the game in her direction again. (Although it could have been too much to ask a rally from a list that sent the at least 24 batteries in front of a rally in the ninth plate by eight inner sings.)

“The key was that we couldn’t score runs,” said manager Davey Martinez. “We started swinging the bats late in the game, but our bats did not appear today.”

López took over seventh place after Mitchell Parker wrote six strong innings from one-run ball, but with the NATs with 1-0. The experienced right-hander immediately gave up the singles to Isiah Kiner-Falefa and Enmanuel Valdez, then a running groundout Henry Davis, who did it 2-0.

After a groundout by Ke’bryan Hayes it got really ugly. López hit Bryan Reynolds in his arms with a field and then lost control of his third field against Andrew McCutchen, the ball sailed over the head of the star’s head. There was no immediate reaction from the referees, but when Shelton came out of the shelter to argue, López began to speak to McCutchen to insist that it was not intentionally, and that prompted both benches and bulls to empty.

“I tried to solve the problem,” said López. “He knows that I always switch on. Only I have one (pitch) and it just got up. I told him … I know what you are talking about. I’m just here to tell you, I have no problem with you. It is just part of the game in which we don’t want to be, but only another lesson to learn.”

Reynolds and McCutchen beat Homer from López at the end of last season, while the pitcher was with the Cubs, but he insisted that nothing had to do with what happened tonight.

“Hell, no,” he said. “It’s seven months.”

As soon as the order was restored and nothing near a thrown strike was similar, the referees crowded and then decided to throw López. Martinez looked for answers from Ron Kulpas Crew and didn’t seem to fight too much when he was explained to him.

“I don’t necessarily think it was justified, but the referees saw it differently, so they ejected Jorge,” said the manager. “Unfortunately, it was a good game up to this point and things got out of control.”

Salazar was commissioned to replace López on the hill, with McCutchen inheriting a 2-1-color, which finally went. And then later Cruz started a ball over the 21-foot clede wall in the right field for the Grand Slam, which lifted the game and put another blow to a Nationals Bullpen, which took far too many of them in the first three weeks of the season.

“He just has to be more aggressive,” said Martinez. “He has really good things. We saw it spring training. I saw it earlier. He has to be a little more aggressive and use his fast ball to get ahead. I think he throws too many breaking stems.”

The NATs drove James Woods Leadoff Homer to victory on Tuesday evening and played much more relaxed and freely with a lead from the start. You had no such luxury tonight that Pirates’s starter Bailey stuck from the start.

Steam stormed the minimum through seven innings, with the only three battery that arrived against him. Wood, who spoke in the first center with one, was thrown out to steal the second. Nathaniel Lowe, who focused on fifth, observed how Josh Bell became a subsequent 5-4-3 double game. And Luis García Jr., who drove an out-out walk in the sixth, watched how Nasim Nuñez was grounded to a 4-6-3 double game.

“He had a good fastball,” said Lowe about the tailter, who came with an ERA of 7.20 0: 2. “He had a good little mix and threw a few strikes with a few parking spaces. Whenever you play early in Pittsburgh … you can blame the cold. But that’s a good starter from the Major League who had a really good start.”

Parker did his best to keep up, and the young left got his night for a fabulous start and excluded the first four batteries, three of them over curve ball and another via splinter. Parker got into a jam loaded with bases in the second reverse in the back of the stall, but fought back to induce a fly ball from No. 9-Schlagmann Henry Davis and escape the jam intact.

There was nothing Parker could do to escape the fifth, because Davis ensured that nobody left his trip to the left field, the ball from the foul rod for a solo homer and a 1-0 lead for Pittsburgh.

“It is his job to give a good momentum. It is my job to make a good field,” said Parker. “He beat me.”

Parker would have six innings who only allow one run, his last frame with one of the strangers that they will ever see. With an out and Cruz on the first, Tommy Pham hit a falling liner to the left. Wood stormed in and tried to snap the ball on the running, but he hardly touched grass before setting his glove. Cruz, who believed that the ball was caught, ran back to the first basis. Wood fired the ball in this direction, with Lowe caughting the throw on his pocket with his foot before Pham arrived there, and then marked Cruz (which was on the base).

It took a few minutes for the referees to have themselves, but they appeared with the right call. Pham was rarest rare pieces: a 7-3 groundout. In the meantime, Cruz was allowed to stay on the first basis because he was only marked after the dough was retired, which negated the game of strength.

“What kind of game, isn’t it?” Said Lowe. “I thought James caught the ball on the left. He made a nice throw to get it back, and I thought my foot was on the base before Cruz brought it back. Interesting out there. But obviously because it was a trap and the blow did not make him the first basis, it is the way it is possible.”

It was the case that Parker left after he had allowed a run over six outstanding innings on 89 parking spaces and lowered his ERA to 1.85 and, however, stood in line for the loss because his teammates could not even provide him with an increase in support.

“Team sport. You win as a team, you lose as a team,” said the left. “You can select good things (my start), but at the end of the day it is a team sport.”

López and Salazar then made the possibility of a late rally less plausible with their seventh implosion.
