Spring Training: - Game Thread: Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals LIVE on MASN and MLB.tv!!

GAME THREAD...
Live from Space Coast, it's the Washington Nationals welcoming the Atlanta Braves for the second meeting of Spring Training between the two NL East teams. Washington right-hander Collin Balester is expected to start for the Nationals against the Braves' righty Kenshin Kawakami...(seen HERE on the SBN's Braves blog, Talkin' Chop)...live on MASN and MLB.tv at 7:05pm EST from Viera, Florida.
After a start earlier this Spring in which Balester struggled, Washington Nationals' Manager Manny Acta told MLB.com's Bill Ladson as quoted in an article entitled, "Balester struggles with control", that the 22-year-old right-hander could, "...throw 50 shutouts in a row or give up 200 hits the rest of the spring. He is not going to make the decision. We are going to make the decision," as to whether Balester would be part of the Nationals' rotation.
Collin Balester allowed 9 hits and 5 runs in his next outing, and when Jordan Zimmermann and Shairon Martis both impressed in their respective starts, many considered it a sure sign that Balester would be the one left out when the starting rotation was named before Opening Day. Is the battle for the final two rotation spots over?
Atlanta's Kenshin Kawakami missed his last start with "right shoulder fatigue", as MLB.com writer Mark Bowman described it in an article entitled, "Kawakami scratched with tired shoulder", though Braves' Manager Bobby Cox assured Mr. Bowman, "'If we were in the season, he'd have started, easily.'" Kawakami signed with Atlanta back in January after 11 seasons in the Japanese Central League with the Chunichi Dragons in which the now-33-year-old, 5'11'' right-handed starter was 106-62 with a 3.17 ERA in nearly 1500 IP.
The Mannyger Is A Blogger...
I'm hoping Collin Balester will continue with "Bally's Blog" even if he doesn't make the major league roster with Washington...If Balester does, he won't be the only one from the Washington Nationals with a blog...
Manny Acta? Yes! Manny Acta, according to a MASN Press Release today, the Nationals' Manager will start a blog at MASNsports.com later this month, where he'll answer questions from fans and post video blogs in English and Spanish to keep the DC Faithful in the loop on his thinking as the team makes its way through the '09 campaign.
The WBC's Over And Dunn And Hanny Are Coming Back...
Adam Dunn and "Wild" Joel Hanrahan have rejoined the Nationals. Unfortunately, Brian McCann has also returned to the Braves. Asked about his three error WBC performance by MLB.com's Bill Ladson in an article entitled, "Dunn, Hanrahan back to work with Nats", Adam Dunn explained honestly:
"'That was a debacle. That's all I could say," Dunn said. "I could tell you a million reasons on what went wrong. The throwing error, that was a split-finger that went bad.'"
(ed. note - "Debacle? No argument here. Just go hide in left and hit some HR's now, please.")
?'s For The DC Faithful...
Will Dunn be back in left field when he returns to the lineup?
Is there any hope for Collin Balester, or is he Syracuse-bound?
What's your Opening Day DC Lineup as of right now?
Who's Watching The Nationals?
Game time 7:05 pm EST LIVE from Space Coast.

I love Collin...but
He hasn’t pitch well at all this spring. He gets so amped up some one needs to teach this guy yoga or something to help him focus.
I agree with you and hope he’s still blogging.

Lineups From Chico Harlan; looks like opening night + a "catcher o' the day"
Milledge – 8
Guzman – 6
Zimmerman – 5
Dunn – 7
Dukes – 9
Johnson – 3
Valentin – 2
Hernandez – 4
Balester -1

Dunn for MVP
Looks like we’re giving some last chances to middle relievers. Tonight after Bally is somebody named Wells (should I know him?) and Ledezma, and Saoool.
I like that NN is pitching tomorrow against a AAA team to stay on schedule.
I would not be surprised if we make a trade for a better 2B prospect. A-Hern is batting around .300 as of now, but will it last? So, until it happens I got A-Hern at 2B and Dukes in RF. Backup catcher is too close to call but I’m going with Nieves (though I’d be fine with Bard).
by RoscoeNats on Mar 25, 2009 3:40 PM EDT reply actions 0 recs
Nieves, Anderson, and Dukes are my choices, too.
I wouldn’t mind Valentin as a 3rd catcher/PH, but that would mean needing a 26-man roster. I like this order, if Lasto and Guz do what they’re supposed to.
“Anderson Hernandez’s RBI Wins The Dominican Winter League Championship”
“Hernandez finished the DWL Regular season with the second-best batting average in the league, 20 doubles, 6 triples and 29 RBI’s in 50 games.”
“Hernandez ends the DWL Playoffs hitting .344 after going 2 for 7 with two RBI’s in the deciding game.”

i think bally's done tbh
NN with be sent to minors till they have to use a 5th started at which time he will be back up. I think Martis has locked up a rotation spot, but i still dont know why Cabrera’s there…i guess time will tell if he has gotten better

OD roster
cf Milledge
ss Guzman
3b Zimmerman
lf Dunn
rf Dukes
1b Johnson
C Flores
2b Hernandez
bench (5): Nieves, Belliard, Harris, Willingham, Kearns
starters (4): Lannan, Cabrera, Olsen, Martis
relievers (8): Tavarez, Bergmann, Hinckley, Ledezma, Mock, Rivera, Biemel, Hanrahan
IMO, Tavarez and Bergmann can swing depending on matchups until Zimmermann is recalled Memorial Day.

Just up on NJ...
“Acta said today that the team will use its four-man rotation ….to buy space for an extra position player, not an eighth bullpen member. "I’m not going to say if it’s gonna be a catcher or an outfielder or an infielder,” Acta said."

I agree with gg...no Mock.
The Nats turned him into a reliever in the big leagues but being a reliever is a whole new mindset. He needs to get his head right in AAA.
Don’t kill me but on NNN’s list above, I’m replacing Ledezma or Mock with COLOME. Yeah, that’s right, Colome!

I think Martis is in the rotation.
I’m still looking for a trade. Maybe they’ll work on his stamina in Syracuse and bring him up in June. If he starts up here, I just don’t want him to peter out in July and never get it back.
Maybe we should sign Bong from the Korean team.
