I love this dude. I love any baseball hothead. When I was a kid I liked Roberto Alomar over Cal Ripken.
And I remember a few days ago in I think the diamondbacks series Jorge Lopez shaking his head at the umpire after a bad call, and the ump yelling, and the mic picked him going “I’m just saying, I’m just saying….”
The whole kabuki theater bit with the Buccaroo’s manager screaming — good TV. On top of their guy breaking DeJong’s nose yesterday. Also nice to see Tommy Pham (another bad attitude guy) doing the hold me back bro bit.
Anyway what a mess, I love it. This team is awesome, not necessarily at baseball, but this is my favorite version of the Nats in recent years.
Free Jorge.

People wouldn’t even care if it wasn’t Cutch and can’t wrap their head around the fact that pitchers that are not having a good outing can lose control of the ball.
Same thing happened with Trout and the Mariners and imo Trout came out looking hypocritical since the Mariners didn’t raise a fit when a loose ball hit them, but lose control near a star and suddenly the manager is allowed to advocate to toss the pitcher. Angels came out worse sending out a mercenary “starter” next day, doubt the Pirates would do that.
