Former Flame Tony Beasley is now the 3rd Base coach for the Washington Nationals and may already have some answering to do:
"With the Nationals trailing by one, Soriano singled leading off and — with none out — was curiously waved around third by coach Tony Beasley on Ryan Zimmerman's double into the left-field corner.
Jose Reyes' accurate relay throw to the plate beat a diving Soriano, but replays showed catcher Paul Lo Duca juggled and dropped the ball after applying the tag.
Tschida, who had properly rotated down from first base, didn't see it, perhaps blocked by Lo Duca's back from his position in front of the plate.
Surprisingly, the Nationals never argued the call."
Tony will be just fine, but I think a lesson may have been learned about sending the runner with nobody down...I plan on going to about 2 Nat's games a week this summer...you know they're head trainner is also a LU grad
