A big blunder on the bases Thursday night in Game 5 of the National LeagueDivision Seriesmight cost the Nationals a shot at advancing to the NL Championship Series.
Jayson Werth was out from here to Fairfax while trying to score from first baseon a double to left with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and Washington leading 1-0.

Waving Jayson Werth home cuz why?

Yeah, it was that bad a send by third base coach Bob Henley. A get-made-fun-of-by-Twitter send.
That might be worst playoff “send” I’ve ever seen. Didn’t think Jim Cain Jerseys you could be thrown out by 50 feet., Grandal ate a pizza waiting for Werth.

Clarification needed: It was two pizzas.

Jayson Werth was out by almost 3000 feet more than two Empire State Buildings

Buck Showalter just sent that third-base coach a case of champagne

So, yeah, Showalter’ Detroit Lions Jerseys s unwillingne s to pitchZach Britton in the AL wild-card game may turn out not to be the worst move of the postseason.
And, of course, as so often happens, the Dodgers immediately took advantage of the miscue andtied the Detroit Lions Home Office game in the top of the seventh. Joc Pederson led off with a home run against Max Scherzer, who was lifted after that. LA took the lead later in the inning onan RBI single by Carlos Ruiz
In a winner-take-all game, the Nats are now having to overcomea losing play.
