Previously on the Tony Kornheiser Show. When he was pitching for the Nationals, you couldn't turn the TV off. You'd never seen numbers like that on the radar gun. And you just thought, this guy's best ever. But health-wise, it hasn't held up.
Tony Kornheiser 0:18
God, I'll get you out of here on this. I watched the Pirates recently because I took two or three from the Nats. Who's their manager? He looks like he escaped from someplace. Who is that guy?
Unknown 0:26
He is. That's Derek. That's good. That's a good one. That's Derek Shelton.
Tony Kornheiser 0:36
The Tony Kornheiser Show is on now. So of course I watched the Nats last night against the Cubs because I want them to beat the Cubs because of Wilbon. Of course. So I get, I'm a little late to the game. The game starts at 7.05. So I'm getting on it at about 7.15. So it's already 1-0? Oh yeah, I get a text from Chuck Todd. And the text just says, who is this guy pitching? So I turn on the set and it's a guy named Irvin. I-R-V-I-N. So I write back, Irvin Magic Johnson. And then we go back and forth for the entire game. One of the highlights of the game to me was Dominic Smith. Nats are down 1-0 in the third of the fourth. Dominic Smith comes up with first and third, nobody out. And, of course, doesn't really deliver much.
Tony Kornheiser 1:18
First and third, nobody out. But a run comes in as he hits into a double play.
Sally Jenkins 1:23
A good time to mention our Johnny O promo code of TK5, celebrating all five RBI from the month of April.
Tony Kornheiser 1:29
So I assumed he got an RBI because a run came in, although he killed the inning. Because you go from two on and nobody out to nobody on and two out.
Sally Jenkins 1:38
Yeah, Josh Belden.

What Nats game moments and scoring rules did Tony discuss at the start of the show?

Tony Kornheiser 1:39
But then, right, that's exactly right. And it drives me crazy, and I go back and forth with Chuck and with Saliza. Saliza's also involved in this, in which I just say, he plays every inning of every game. He's terrible. Why is he on the field? But I assumed he had an RBI. I looked at the box this morning. He did not get an RBI for that. Can you explain that, Michael?
Sally Jenkins 1:57
Because we went over that. This is just something that we Googled for you just to try and get clarity. A batter does not get an RBI if he grounds into a double play and a run scores. But this would be different than hit by pitch or bases loaded walk. Yeah, you get it for that.
Tony Kornheiser 2:12
I thought you did. I thought if your bat brought the run in, I thought you got that. So I had that wrong. So he's back down to five. He doesn't even have six RBI. Did you see the ninth inning? No, but apparently Finnegan made everybody nervous. He got three hard hit balls.
Sally Jenkins 2:29
Interesting play at third. You try and get the double play. They do not get the out at first in time, but he was like next pitch. He was able to get out of it, but pretty stressful.
Tony Kornheiser 2:38
The Nats.
Sally Jenkins 2:38
As stressful as May baseball goes for a last place team.
Tony Kornheiser 2:40
When they took out Irvin, Irvin was in trouble. He had two on and one out or something like that. And they brought in Ramirez. Ramirez's second pitch, ground ball, double play. So the double play helped them last night. I thought that Finnegan got out with a double play too at the end, right?
Steve Whitcoff 2:58
Yes.
Tony Kornheiser 2:59
Yeah. So the double play ball helped them last night.
Steve Whitcoff 3:01
And did I see that?
Tony Kornheiser 3:02
And then they're playing this afternoon. Greg's going to this game. This is the Greg Ross game. He's got good seats. Yes.
Sally Jenkins 3:07
It was cold last night. Were you there in the seventh inning? Did you see Dan Coco's jacket? No. They did a shot to him. They tossed him. It was cold. It was cold. The upper deck jacket was tight around the neck. He looked like Darkwing Duck. Is that right?
Steve Whitcoff 3:20
Yeah, just standing over the city. And didn't I see that the kid, I think this was his debut, his first pitch, he hit a guy. Yeah, well, he threw it up in the end or something. And then he calmed down after that pitch fairly nicely for you. He got to establish the zone.
Tony Kornheiser 3:34
Yeah, exactly. He blasted into the fifth, and he'd only given up one run. I mean, that's, for a guy who's not a huge prospect, he's not Cade Cavalli. Right. And he's not Mackenzie Gore, so that was good. Wanted to mention that because this is all I do is watch baseball until I start to yawn and then I'm done.
