Abimelec Ortiz

So yes, small sample size, but OPS a 973.

Doing really well during a time in which Abimelec Ortiz has really cooled off off his hot start.

We have seen Yo Yo Morales kind of take the torch when it comes to Nats first baseman/DH, and now it is Yo Yo, uh, who's really hitting well.

Good to see him homer, doing some good stuff right now.

The only positive from Monday night for the Nats offense, but a real positive, you know, he does not get the start, as you said.

The Tigers start the game with a right-hander on the mound, so Abimelec Ortiz gets the start at first base.

But later on in the eighth inning, now the Tigers have a southpaw on the rubber.

Morales gets the pinch hit and hits a home run.

This'll score both runners.

Youngin' from third, Woodin' from second, Ortiz holding it first.

And the Nationals have plated three runs here at the bottom of the second.

It's Washington four and Los Angeles nothing.

At the seventh inning stretch, as I'm getting my notes ready for this show, it's like, all right, lot of positives about Andrew Alvarez.

There's some things I like with Cameron Ruiz I want to talk about.

Abimael Ortiz, things that I really, really like.

Okay, they're gonna win this series, bounce it back from a brutal road trip.

Sheets was a veteran presence.

Without him, we're relying on younger guys like Yohandy Morales or Abimelec Ortiz to fill in.

It's a gamble, but sometimes youth brings energy.

Maybe it's what we need.

It's gonna roll all the way to the warning track.

Ortiz scores.

Rounding third, Abrams, he will score.

As the ball comes in from Merrill on the warning track, it's a double to drive in two runs for Brady House.

Uh, the homer had a projected distance of just, uh, 337 feet per stat cast, a Petco Park special.

But a homer is a homer.

And just to add to the mix here, Abimelec Ortiz, he is the Nats starting DH and number two batter, one for three with a double.

So this three-headed monster that the Nats have been using to replace Luis García Jr., Yo-Yo Morales, Andrés Chaparro, and Abimelec Ortiz, all three guys playing in this game, all three guys producing in this game.

Not that exciting.

Same for Abimelec Ortiz.

Jacob Young has been fine, but he's really more of a desperate play for me.

Cause he's kind of been up and down all season.

Jameson will likely be back this week.

Well, sure, and A- A- and Abimelec Ortiz ended up beating Johan De Morales to the majors.

Uh, I think it's gonna be sparse playing time, but he hits the ball very hard, and there's always a chance with guys who hit the ball that hard.

I think...

I think it's only an NL only name for now.

And, uh, yeah, it is kind of just tough to see where the playing time comes.

There's Abimelec Ortiz at first base.

There's Brady House at third.

Marlins left fielder, Edurberto Hernandez on the play failed in an attempt at a sliding catch while running toward the outfield wall.

Abimelec Ortiz, he is the Nats' starting first baseman and number two batter, two for five with two singles.

The Nats' position player who struggled the most in this game was shortstop CJ Abrams, who is back to DH-ing.

He is the Nats' starting DH and number one batter, oh for five with three strikeouts.

Kent has it.

Jogs to first, the flip to Ortiz.

The inning is over.

Jackson Kent finishes seven innings in his fourth Major League start.

You're not gonna not play Wood.

Like, Wood's gonna play.

Now, maybe he DHs a decent amount, but obviously the Nats have been getting some good DH plate appearances from the likes of Andrés Giménez and Abimelec Ortiz.

So gonna be interesting some of the playing time decisions once Wood comes back, who plays and for how much and where exactly.
