"The Washington Nationals beat a stacked Venezuela WBC team last night by a final score of 5-1 in a game capped by a 3-run homer by Keibert Ruiz who is Venezuelan. Ruiz was born in Valencia, Venezuela, and probably wanted to show his countrymen that he should have been on their roster."
"At this point, we only have 11 Spring Training games in the books and the one exhibition game, and no batter has more than 16 official plate appearances on the Washington Nationals. And for that matter, no pitcher has more than 5.0 innings. Second cuts happened yesterday, and the starters should be getting more work soon."
"The Nats have had 55 batters step into the box, and 24 of them have no hits. And as mentioned, these stats won't include the exhibition game against Venezuela. As the sample sizes get larger, and there is more data to analyze, we can all start to form better judgements."
The Washington Nationals beat Venezuela 5-1 in an exhibition game, with Venezuelan-born catcher Keibert Ruiz hitting a 3-run homer. Anibal Sanchez threw the ceremonial first pitch as a 2019 World Series champion. Luis Garcia Jr. played first base effectively for the first time this season, and Daylen Lile recorded two hard singles after struggling early in Spring Training. Through 11 Spring Training games and one exhibition, no batter has exceeded 16 plate appearances and no pitcher has thrown more than 5.0 innings. Second cuts occurred, allowing starters increased workload. Minor league prospects like Foster Griffin pitched scoreless innings. Dylan Crews returned after a hand injury from live batting practice.
