@Bobby_Blanco Hope the Nats didn't pay retail, because nobody does anymore.

@MarkZuckerman I'm not sure I would have had the patience to wait three months into the season for Bell to overcome his typical slow start.

If you were hoping for another season of Josh Bell in DC ...

I spent time this week in Bowling Green, Virginia, where a Dollar General and a guns-and-ammo shop make up the town center. Former Trump voters told me they backed Democrats this year, blaming high cost of living. W/@aaronzitner @EllieDudley_ @anthonydb wsj.com/politics/elect…
