I saw that. Super cool. 28 year old rookie living the dream.
I watched that game on TV. The Nationals' announcers were so confident with an 8-0 lead and Scherzer dealing. The pitch that Scherzer threw wasn't a terrible pitch, the guy just went down and got it.

Yeah, that was low and inside. If he hadn't swung that was a ball fer sure. Dude made a great swing!

Nobody can beat Don Orsillo but the Nationals broadcasting call was pretty unintentionally funny. That was the last thing they were expecting. Haha.

That was a confident swing. Dude must take hitting serious still, cool to see from a pitcher.

It really is weird and shows how hard it is to hit at the major league (or any level of pro baseball). At lower levels the best pitchers are usually the best players on the team. They do everything well. And yet when they get to the majors a lot of these guys look like they've never held a bat in their hands.

Someone in the Majors that actually knows how to do a proper slide?
Seems like someone in MLB gets hurt every day doing a stupid headfirst slide. Not to mention if you did those "back in the day," you'd get spikes embedded in your skull.
He fought like a middleweight with a heavyweight's size and power.

“You’ve got to give credit,” Consor said. “Kevin Porter Jr., like his dad, pulled that trigger right at the right time.”
The comment, though, struck a sour chord because Kevin Porter’s father served time for shooting and killing a 14-year-old girl in 1993. The elder Porter was later shot and killed himself in a 2004 bar fight.
To make matters worse, Consor got the wrong Kevin Porter. The Wizards’ Kevin Porter Jr’s felon father was not an NBA player. There was a Kevin Porter who played for Washington, but he is not the current player’s father.
I’d start watching pro basketball again in a heartbeat if I could count on really fun and pointed commentary like this.

You buying the explanation? Still doesn't make sense to me.
