Perspective: The Nationals are playing clean infield defense that has transformed a team that was, at this point last year, essentially unwatchable into one that — at least defensively — is palatable in the present and full of potential for the future.
“It’s probably the best feeling on a field I’ve ever had,” the 28-year-old outfielder said after he turned the first pitch he saw from Chicago Cubs reliever Brad Boxberger into a flyball to left field that sneaked inside the foul pole and delivered a jump-for-joy 4-3 victory for the Washington Nationals on Thursday afternoon at. It’s the hit that made a series win possible. It’s the play that will deservedly make the highlights.
Had Call’s heroics not been necessary Thursday, Corbin would have been the star because of the seven-plus innings of three-hit, no-walk, hyper-efficient work he turned in. But Corbin and the rest of the staff can feel free to let their best stuff play in the strike zone as often as possible because the pitches that produce groundballs are more frequently turned into outs. Which is as it should be, if not as it always was.
“The spectacular plays, when they happen, it’s awesome,” Martinez said. “The routine plays, they have to be made 10 out of 10 times. That’s what we love right now. They turn double plays. They move their feet. They get to balls that they should get to. It’s been a lot of fun to watch.”There are all sorts of facets of this, and some don’t involve a strong arm or a smooth glove. In the ninth inning Wednesday night, the Nats led by a run. The Cubs had runners on first and second with no one out.
