Davey Martinez’s club will go for a series win tomorrow after a win on Monday and a loss tonight to the Rockies.

Patrick Corbin gave up just two runs in six innings, which, in Coors Field, you know, but one of the two came on his 37th home run allowed this season, the highest total in the National League, and it was an absolute bomb of a 475-foot last by Colorado Rockies’ slugger Trevor Story, who put the home team up 2-0 early on the Washington Nationals in what ended up a 3-1 win.

Corbin vs the Rockies: Facing the Rockies in the nation’s capital earlier this month, Patrick Corbin gave up 10 hits (2 homers), three walks, and six earned runs in four innings pitched, in which he threw a total of 87 pitches.

Three pitches into that outing, Corbin was down 2-0, giving up a leadoff double by Garrett Hampson, and a two-run home run by Brendan Rodgers in the first two at-bats, and before he got out of the first the Nationals were down 3-0 to the Rockies.

“Just the way that my season is going,” Corbin said after that game.

“I think I was max-effort a lot of the game, which normally I’m not. Just really trying to throw the perfect pitch, and ended up missing my spots, yanking pitches.”

Corbin followed up on that outing with 6 2⁄3 scoreless against the Reds in Cincinnati, and tonight in Coors Field in Colorado, the left-hander tossed three scoreless to start, on 50 pitches, but a one-out walk, single, and RBI double, by C.J. Cron, Elias Díaz, and Ryan McMahon, respectively, over a seven-pitch stretch in the home-half of the fourth gave the Rockies their first run, 1-0.

Corbin got a swinging K from Yonathan Daza for out No. 2, then issued an intentional walk to Sam Hilliard to bring the opposing pitcher up with the bases loaded, and got another K from Kyle Freeland to leave the bases full of Rockies.

Trevor Story got all of an 0-1 slider and then some with one down in the bottom of the fifth, and hit a monster, 475-foot home run to the left of center field in Coors Field, for home run No. 24 of 2021 and a 2-0 Rockies’ lead. HR No. 37 off Corbin this season, the most by any NL starter.

Corbin struck out two and stranded a two-out single in a 16-pitch sixth which left him at 101 pitches overall, with nine Ks from 26 batters faced, and that was it for the southpaw against the Rockies...

Patrick Corbin’s Line: 6.0 IP, 6 H, 2 R, 2 ER, 3 BB, 9 Ks, 1 HR, 101 P, 64 S, 6/0 GO/FO.

Freeland vs the Nationals: Kyle Freeland tossed six scoreless against the Nationals during the Rockies’ visit to the nation’s capital, working around seven hits and a walk in a 6-0 win, which he followed up on with a six-inning start against the Dodgers in which he gave up a total of eight hits and three earned runs.

Tonight the 28-year-old southpaw was taking on the Nationals in Coors Field, where he had a 5.26 ERA and a .304/.351/.523 line against in 10 starts and 53 IP (versus a 3.84 ERA, and a .268/.332/.437 line against in 12 starts and 61 IP outside of Denver).

Freeland tossed four scoreless to start, on just 47 pitches, working around four hits and a walk, and he took the mound in the fifth with a 1-0 lead, and retired the Nationals in order on 11 pitches, for [does maths] 58 total after five scoreless.

A 12-pitch sixth, in which he worked around a leadoff walk, with a 6-3 double play from Juan Soto and swinging K from Ryan Zimmerman, after he put Alcides Escobar on, left him at 70 pitches total, and Freeland came back out for the top of the seventh and gave up back-to-back, one-out singles by Yadiel Hernández and Carter Kieboom, and a base-loading, two-out walk to Josh Bell, then he walked Lane Thomas to force in a run, 2-1.

That was it for Freeland...

Kyle Freeland’s Line: 6.2 IP, 6 H, 1 R, 1 ER, 4 BB, 3 Ks, 91 P, 62 S, 7/4 GO/FO.

Mostly K-Free Zone: Going into tonight’s game, the Nationals mentioned in their pregame notes, Juan Soto had, “... struck out three times in his last 75 plate appearances (4.0%) and [had] just eight strikeouts in his last 137 plate appearances (5.8%).”

David Kohl-USA TODAY Sports

Josh Bell, “had just nine strikeouts in his last 99 plate appearances (9.1%) and 19 strikeouts in his last 179 plate appearances (10.6%).”

Keibert Ruiz, the 23-year-old rookie catcher, had, “struck out just one time in his last 46 plate appearances (1.6%).”

Bell didn’t start, but he walked in a pinch hit appearance. Juan Soto struck out in the eighth, leaving him 0 for 4 on the night. Ruiz didn’t strike out. He went 1 for 4 overall.

Bullpen Action: Tyler Kinley took over for the Rockies with the bases loaded and one out, after a walk by Kyle Freeland forced in a run and ended his outing, and got a fly to center from Alcides Escobar for out No. 3.

Jhon Romero gave up a leadoff triple to center field by Raimel Tapia in the first at-bat of the Rockies’ seventh, and a one-out double by Brendan Rodgers made it a 3-1 game after seven in Coors Field.

Jordan Sheffield came on for the Rockies in the eighth and worked around a one-out single by Ryan Zimmerman for a scoreless frame.

Patrick Murphy kept it a 3-1 game in the Rockies’ favor with a scoreless bottom of the eighth inning.

Carlos Estévez came on to close it out, and earned the save with a scoreless frame.

Final Score: 3-1 Rockies

Nationals now 65-93

Victor Robles stands out in regressive Washington Nationals’ offense... https://ift.tt/3tOZoz1

Victor Robles went 2 for 4 on the night in the Nationals’ 11-4 loss to the D-backs....

It probably didn’t matter that the Washington Nationals regressed to last week’s form in Saturday’s 11-4 loss to the Arizona Diamondbacks. Even if the offense hadn’t gone 2-for-12 with runners in scoring position, it’s doubtful they would have scored enough to win when the pitching staff gave up 11 earned runs.

The only National to hit safely with RISP before the ninth inning was Victor Robles, who also turned in his second straight multi-hit game, after collecting a pair of doubles in Friday’s series opener.

“It’s just a matter of him starting to understand the strike zone, and balls he can and can’t hit,” manager Davey Martinez said after the game.

“He’s getting the ball in the strike and he’s making good contact. Even the balls that he’s fouling off, he’s having good swings. It’s good to see. So, we just got to keep it going and stay on him.”

Robles began the season in the leadoff spot but was moved back down to his familiar place at the bottom of the order after a spate of outs on the base paths killed too many innings.

However, he showed some alert baserunning against Arizona, stealing second after his second-inning single and stretching a line-drive into an extra base hit in the seventh.

After coming from behind in the count against Arizona’s Taylor Clarke, Robles lined the ball toward center fielder Nick Heath and spotted Heath taking a little too much time picking up the ball. Robles turned on the jets rounding first and slid into second with a double.

“He’s running the bases well, he stole a base today, a good decision, so he’s doing well,“ said Martinez. “If he continues to do that he’s going to help us in many ways.”

Martinez said Robles’s preparation is improving.

“He’s getting ready a little bit earlier, which is kind of nice,” manager Davey Martinez said before Saturday’s game. ”It actually helps you identify pitches a little bit better.”

Robles connected with Josh Bell on second base to drive in the Nats’ second run, sending the second pitch from D-Backs’ starter Seth Frankoff to center field for a single.

Robles now has multiple hits in consecutive games after going hitless in his previous four.

“He’s starting to come around, he’s swinging the bat better, so that’s awesome,” Martinez said. “We’ve got to get him going. Like I said, if he can get on base for us down there and flip that to the top of the lineup, we’re going to score some runs.”

[Eugene Volokh] Interesting Entrapment Case https://ift.tt/2DGIDSu

["Using a bait-and-switch tactic, a detective posing as [eighteen-year-old] Amber chatted and flirted with DeMare online and via text message for four days as an adult before revealing on the fifth day that she was actually a minor."]

From DeMare v. State, written by Judge Morris Silberman and joined by Judges Daniel Sleet and Andrea Teves Smith:

The charges against DeMare arose from a sting operation in which law enforcement set up a fictitious profile of an eighteen-year-old woman named "Amber" on the dating website Meetme.com. Using a bait-and-switch tactic, a detective posing as Amber chatted and flirted with DeMare online and via text message for four days as an adult before revealing on the fifth day that she was actually a minor. DeMare was arrested when he traveled to meet the fictitious Amber at her home later that day.

The State charged DeMare with violating section 847.0135(4)(a), which proscribes traveling in Florida for the purpose of engaging in unlawful sexual conduct with a minor or a person believed to be a minor after using an electronic communication device "to seduce, solicit, lure, or entice the child or person that the defendant believed to be a child to engage in the illegal act or other unlawful sexual conduct or to attempt to do so."

DeMare filed a motion to dismiss in which he asserted, among other things, that he was subjectively entrapped by law enforcement. DeMare attached as exhibits a screenshot of "Amber's" Meetme.com profile and transcripts of the chats, text messages, and telephone call that the State provided during discovery.

The earliest communication established that Amber and DeMare began chatting as adults on May 16, 2018. Just after midnight on May 20, 2018, they switched to text messaging and flirted for about forty minutes. Their flirting included some sexual innuendo, and the detective sent DeMare a photo purporting to be of Amber. They resumed texting in earnest at 1:31 p.m. The conversation became more intimate as they planned to meet. They also exchanged more photos. When their plans became concrete, Amber "admitted" that she was only fourteen years old. This occurred at 3:49 p.m.

DeMare immediately tried to end the relationship, but Amber suggested they could still be friends. DeMare agreed but emphasized that the couple could not have sex because it was illegal. Amber told him that she liked older men and repeatedly attempted to convince him that a sexual relationship was still possible despite her age. DeMare remained reluctant but eventually responded to Amber's suggestions with sexual innuendo about what he would do if she were eighteen. Amber sent another photo. DeMare asked for more photos but specified that she not send nudes.

At 4:51 p.m., the pair agreed to speak on the phone. They also continued to exchange texts. DeMare asked if Amber was "really fourteen" and reminded her that he could get into legal trouble if they had a sexual relationship. Amber was undeterred and told DeMare that her parents were out of town and that she wanted to take advantage of it. DeMare was sheepish but offered to send Amber some selfies. Amber said she would see him when he got there and to send more photos while she got ready. DeMare sent the selfies, and Amber asked if he had any "abs shots." DeMare sent a shirtless selfie.

While the couple continued to engage in banter, DeMare vacillated from sexual innuendo about their upcoming meeting to suggesting the couple just hang out as friends and smoke pot. Amber continued to press DeMare to make sexual comments, encouraging him by telling him how excited she was, asking for specifics, and asking if he had condoms. When DeMare reverted to talking about just meeting as friends, Amber used various tactics to change his mind. She cajoled him, complained about his reluctance, accused him of being scared, and assured him he could trust her. But even when DeMare relented, he was hesitant and equivocal. Amber nonetheless asked him to come over and provided her address. DeMare was arrested at 6:07 p.m. when he pulled into the driveway of the address. He was not carrying any drugs or condoms.

The State filed a traverse in which it agreed that the exhibits were accurate and relevant to understand the chronology and nature of the communications. At an evidentiary hearing on the motion to dismiss, the trial court stated that DeMare had met his threshold burden to establish lack of predisposition to engage in the crime. However, after hearing the State's evidence, the trial court determined that the State had established a prima facie case of traveling to meet a minor and that DeMare failed to establish an entrapment defense. We disagree and conclude that DeMare established his subjective entrapment defense.

"A law enforcement officer, a person engaged in cooperation with a law enforcement officer, or a person acting as an agent of a law enforcement officer perpetrates an entrapment if, for the purpose of obtaining evidence of the commission of a crime, he or she induces or encourages and, as a direct result, causes another person to engage in conduct constituting such crime by employing methods of persuasion or inducement which create a substantial risk that such crime will be committed by a person other than one who is ready to commit it." § 777.201(1), Fla. Stat. (2017); see also Munoz v. State (Fla. 1993). The defendant must prove this subjective entrapment defense by a preponderance of the evidence. § 777.201(2).

Under this statute, the first question to be determined is whether law enforcement induced the defendant to commit the charged offense. If the answer is yes, then the second question is whether the defendant was predisposed to commit the charged offense. The defendant bears the initial burden of proving a lack of predisposition. However, when the defendant produces evidence of a lack of predisposition, the burden shifts to the State to rebut the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt….

As to the first question, based on the undisputed facts set out above, we conclude without hesitation that law enforcement induced DeMare to commit the offense of traveling to meet a minor. As to the second question, a defendant is predisposed if he "was awaiting any propitious opportunity or was ready and willing, without persuasion, to commit the offense." "[P]redisposition is not the same as mens rea. The former involves the defendant's character and criminal inclinations; the latter involves the defendant's state of mind while carrying out the allegedly criminal act."

DeMare did not have a prior record of offenses against minors, and there was no evidence he was ever investigated for or engaged in such an offense. In fact, he responded to a profile of an eighteen-year-old woman in the adult section of Meetme.com. Thus, DeMare met his burden of presenting evidence of lack of predisposition.

The burden therefore shifted to the State to establish beyond a reasonable doubt that DeMare "was awaiting any propitious opportunity or was ready and willing, without persuasion, to commit the offense." The State failed to meet this burden. When DeMare contacted Amber on Meetme.com, he thought she was an adult and was led to believe he was speaking with an adult for four days. When law enforcement finally "admitted" that Amber was only fourteen, DeMare immediately tried to end the relationship. But Amber persuaded him to remain friends and then went about seducing and luring him into entertaining the idea of having a sexual relationship. DeMare repeatedly expressed an unwillingness to engage in sex with a minor. His reluctance to violate the law was overcome by law enforcement inducement.

"Government agents may not originate a criminal design, implant in an innocent person's mind the disposition to commit a criminal act, and then induce commission of the crime so that the Government may prosecute." … In this case, … law enforcement took the lead in the conversation, initially suggested a sexual relationship between DeMare and a minor, coaxed and cajoled DeMare for more details, and challenged his reluctance by impugning his nerve and suggesting he was scared…. [L]aw enforcement's persistent urging eventually overcame DeMare's reluctance to commit or even describe sexual activity with a minor.

This leads us to … whether the defense should be decided as a matter of law or submitted to the jury…. [A]ll the communications that made up the charge were contained in the record so there was no dispute of any material facts. Because DeMare established that law enforcement induced him to commit the charged offense and the undisputed evidence failed to rebut the defense, DeMare's subjective entrapment defense should have been decided as a matter of law. Accordingly, the trial court erred in denying DeMare's motion to dismiss. We therefore reverse DeMare's judgment and sentence and remand for discharge.

Thanks for the pointer to reader Henry Krinkle, but I think that's actually a pseudonym, and his real name is Alan Smithee.
