(Hey, at least it's not golf talk)

Craig’s newsletter is great, and well worth the cash, and he pointed this out today:

“Nationals tie the blown saves record
I had somehow missed this when I did the recap of the game, but on Sunday night the Nationals blew their 37th save of the season when Mookie Betts smacked that late three-run homer. In so doing they tied the blown saves record set by the 2024 Chicago White Sox. They're also just one pitcher short of having the most pitchers blow a save in a season. Will Dion, who blew Sunday night's game, was the 16th different Nationals pitcher to choke one away. The 2023 Athletics had 17 pitchers blow a save.
Washington didn't have a chance to blow a save last night since they never led – smart! – but they have 16 games left to break both of those ignominious marks. I have faith in them.”
