Let's spend a couple of paragraphs talking about the nonsensical focal point of Monday's 8-4 loss to the Atlanta Braves. Andrelton Simmons was on first base with two outs and Freddie Freeman at the plate when Doug Fister made his first of two errant pickoff throws in the game. The ball got away from Ryan Zimmerman, but Danny Espinosa made a terrific play to run it down and get the ball to Yunel Escobar with Simmons still a good three steps from the bag at third.
