GameThread: Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals. Game 12 of 162. Jordan Zimmermann Debuts For DC.
Atlanta Braves at Washington Nationals, Apr 20, 2009 7:05 PM EDT
(ed. note - "I was going to start by talking about the new deal Ryan Zimmerman signed with the Washington Nationals, affirming his status as the Face of the Franchise©, but I was told not to care about payroll.")
Jordan Zimmerman(n)...
When the decision was made to send Jordan Zimmermann to Triple-A Syracuse at the end of Spring Training, since only four starters were needed in the first weeks of the season, DC Manager Manny Acta told MLB.com's Bill Ladson, as quoted in an article entitled, "Martis, Zimmermann round out rotation", that he wished:
"...that we didn't have the days off that we have, so we can have him in the big leagues right away, because he has shown in this camp that he is one of our best pitchers, period..."
The Nationals drafted Jordan Zimmermann out of Auburndale, Wisconsin and the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, with the 67th pick in the second round of the '07 MLB Draft and the the 6'2'', 200 lb, right-handed hurler was ranked as the 7th best prospect in the Nationals' organization just six months after having been selected and signed, having pitched in just 13 games, 11 as a starter, in the New York-Penn League with the Vermont Lake Monsters, where he was (5-2) with a 2.38 ERA in 53.0 IP in which he'd given up 45 hits, 14 ER's, 2 HR's and 18 walks while collecting 71 K's.
In '08 with the Potomac Nationals, Zimmermann was (3-1) with a 1.65 ERA in 5 starts and one relief appearance, with 31 K's in 27.1 IP, and when he jumped to Double-A Harrisburg, Zimmermann was (7-2) in 20 starts, posting a 3.21 ERA and 103 K's in 106.2 IP. Following his second professional season, Zimmermann jumped to the top of both Baseball America's Aaron Fitt's and ESPN.com's Keith Law's lists of the top prospects in the Nationals' system, with Mr. Fitt stating that in the last season Zimmermann, "emerged as the clear-cut top prosect in the organization."
Before Spring Training, when asked by Washington Post writer Chico Harlan in an article entitled, "The Season Ticket Holder Luncheon..." which Nationals' prospects might have an impact on the major league-level this season, then Assistant GM Mike Rizzo told Mr. Harlan that he saw Jordan Zimmermann, as Mr. Harlan wrote, "...as somebody who could be major league ready as soon as this spring training."
Zimmermann was (1-1) in 3 starts and two relief appearances this Spring, giving up 13 hits, 2 walks and 5 ER, while collecting 20 K's in 14.1 IP, and the Nationals named the 22-year-old right-hander to the rotation at the end of camp. The Nationals' "Acting" GM Mike Rizzo was quoted yesterday by MLB.com's Bill Ladson in an article in anticipation of today's start entitled, "Zimmermann set for major league debut", saying that he thinks Zimmermann is ready for the jump:
"'I don't think he will be intimidated by a Major League stadium or Major League hitters. I'm looking forward to him having a successful outing and really kick-start(ing) his Major League career.'"

Zimmermann's Opponent In His Debut - Derek Lowe...
Derek Lowe received no decision in his second start of the season, which was against the Washington Nationals, pitching only 3.0 innings in a game interrupted by a long period of rain. In his 13-year MLB career, the 35-year-old right-handed starter is (5-1) with 3 saves in 7 starts and 6 appearances against the Nationals/Expos, having given up 42 hits, 14 walks and 16 ER's in 51.2 IP, with 45 K's, a 2.79 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and .221 BAA.
The Washington Nationals vs Derek Lowe...
Alex Cintron - 4 for 11, .364 AVG, 1 HR, 3 RBI's.
Adam Dunn - 1 for 13, .077 AVG, 5 K's.
Jesus Flores - 1 for 7, .143 AVG.
Alberto Gonzalez - 3 for 10, .300 AVG, 1 2B, 5 RBI's.
Nick Johnson - 5 for 22, .227 AVG, 1 HR, 2 RBI's.
Austin Kearns - 2 for 17, .118 AVG, 1 HR, 2 RBI's.
Josh Willingham - 2 for 9, .222 AVG, 2 HR's, 5 RBI's.
Ryan Zimmerman - 4 for 20, .200 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 2 RBI's, 8 K's.
The New DC Bullpen...
As Washington Post writer Chico Harlan reported last night in a Nationals Journal post entitled, "The Bullpen Gets Blown Up", the Nationals sent C Josh Bard and reliever RHP Saul Rivera to Triple A Syracuse and designated left-hander Wil Ledezma and righty Steven Shell for assignment to make room for tonight's starter, Jordan Zimmermann, and relievers, Jason Bergmann, Garrett Mock and Kip Wells. Asked by Mr. Harlan if Garrett Mock will be the Nationals' new closer* , "Acting" DC GM Mike Rizzo responded:
"I think that's to be determined. He's going to come in and be a member of the bullpen. I'm not sure where the bullpen will kind of all map out right now. It's a brand new bullpen, really. We've got some unanswered questions."
(ed. note - "When Mock was sent down to Triple-A Syracuse in early April, "Acting" DC GM Mike Rizzo was quoted in several publications, including a USA Today article by AP Sports writer Howard Fendrich entitled, "Nats cut Bergmann, Mock, keep Tavarez, Bard", stating that Mock would have a new role in Syracuse, "'We're grooming him as a closer,' Mr. Rizzo said.")
The New DC Bullpen:
LHP - Joe Beimel (SU), Mike Hinckley.
RHP - Jason Bergmann, Kip Wells, Julian Tavarez, Garrett Mock, Joel Hanrahan(CL).
The Braves vs The New DC Bullpen...
Braves vs Bergmann...
Matt Diaz - 5 for 10, .500 AVG, 2 2B.
Jeff Francoeur - 2 for 24, .083 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI's.
Kelly Johnson - 3 for 15, .200 AVG, 1 2B, 2 RBI's.
Chipper Jones - 6 for 20, .300 AVG, 2 2B, 2 HR's, 8 RBI's.
Brian McCann - 8 for 20, .400 AVG, 3 2B, 4 HR's, 7 RBI's.
Braves vs Mock...
Kelly Johnson - 1 for 1, 1.000 AVG, 1 2B.
Martin Prado - 1 for 1, 1.000 AVG, 1 2B.
Braves vs Wells...
Garret Anderson - 4 for 10, .400 AVG, 2 RBI's.
Chipper Jones - 3 for 24, .125 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI's.
Brian McCann - 3 for 4, .750 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 4 RBI's.
Here's A Way To Start The Day...
Check out Yahoo! Sports' writer Kevin Kaduk (aka 'Duk)'s take on the situation involving Elijah Dukes being benched Saturday in an article entitled, "Nationals bench Dukes after Little League-related tardy note", in which 'Duk wonders aloud about the team's decision to discipline Dukes, goes through the list of recent embarrassments, from SMILEYGATE, to the former DC GM's resignation, Stan Kasten's Philadelphia-based outreach efforts, and the more recent "Natinals" affair...it's all so funny, right? Until Mr. Kaduk gets to the end and writes:
"No wonder their potential top draft pick might want $50 million to join them."

He'll be the biggest hit since the Beatles!
I don’t care if he gets shelled like a WW2 Summer Offensive tomorrow – he’s going to be a class act for the team and be well on his way to ROY nomination for 2009.
“The night gets darkest right before the dawn”. Zim (what’s his nickname?) will provide the ray of light the team so desperately needs.

Pouring rain in DC this morning and 60% chance of thunderstorms from 7:00pm to 9:00pm...
…but, I think this rain is simply meant to wash away the odor of manure from a lost weekend in NatsTown.

Still raining in DC. Now it's time to ask...if it's rained out...
…do we use Martis tomorrow and send NN back to the Cuse? Depending on rescheduling, they could keep his clock from starting for a few more days.
I hear ya. Go Caps! Go Nats!
It isn’t to likely there’ll be a Baseball game tonight. Well, unless they play very very late…
This is do or die for the Caps. Let’s see if Ovi learning anything watching the Rangers practice.
Go Ovi !
Go Caps!
Go Zimm’nn!

Bar near Nationals Park???
Southeast D.C. Makes a Call to the Bullpen
An outdoor beer garden across from Nationals Park could be open by May 1 now that the local Advisory Neighborhood Commission voted 7-0 Monday night in favor of a developer’s proposal. Plans for “the Bullpen,” a 15,000-square-foot entertainment zone on the site of an old Metrobus garage, call for a large tent with a stage for live music, bars, plenty of tables and an area for childrens’ activities.
Robert “Bo” Blair, who owns the popular Surfside and Jetties restaurants as well as the nightspots Smith Point and the Rookery, will be running the Bullpen. He says it will be open at least two hours before and after every home game, and it could stay open until 12:30 a.m. for special events. Expect “Dewey Beach bands” and music from local groups, as well as food from Surfside and Jetties.
“We want to make it really fan friendly and also family friendly,” Blair says. The Bullpen will be open to all ages, and part of the site is going to be run by Headfirst Sports, a Georgetown-based organization that runs sports camps for 4-to-14-year-olds. This area will have some baseball-related activities, which could include batting cages, drills or instruction, as well as more carnival-style amusements like photo booths, games and temporary tattoo stations.
The appeal of the Bullpen will be its location on Half Street between M and N streets, right between the Metro station and the centerfield gates of Nationals Park. Now that the plans have full approval from both the Advisory Neighborhood Commission and the Alcoholic Beverage Regulation Administration, the major hurdles have been cleared, and because the project has been issued a provisional liquor license, it could be open immediately. However, Blair says he hopes the Bullpen will be ready for business on April 30, when the Nationals begin a home stand against the St. Louis Cardinals and Houston Astros. A full entertainment schedule will be available soon at thebullpendc.com.
Seems like someone mentioned this earlier.
Wonder who that head of the curve gentleman was? Does anyone read the FanShots?

Dunn in RF on a wet field…could be fun to watch.
But I love having the Hammer in there.
Let’s get a big Curly W tonight.
I'm loving 2-6 holes...
but there’s that black hole 1-8,9 that’s burned us in the last couple of games. I can’t wait till Guz comes back… Sorry General, we need your stars back. Wear a bird and we’ll get back to you soon. Guz here’s your stars back, now do something with them please…por favor, per favore, capite… italian or spanish it’s all good.
Off to the game!
Look for me in the fancy seats tonight! (Well, fancy for us… they’re next to the actual fancy seats behind the plate.) The era of double-N, double-Z domination begins tonight!
LET’S GO NATS GO!

Pregame show is on. Tarp is off now.
Also, I watched Around the Horn and PTI today and they absolutely skewered the Nats. From the wrong jersey spelling to the Dukes benching to the amount of sucking the team is doing right now. I know they are just talking heads, but all 7 people on 2 shows agreed.
The best thing is…there’s only one way to go. WooHoo
Let’s Go Nats GO!!!!
Boomers coming out of the barn...
If they wait till these go by, it could be a 9:00 first pitch. I think they don’t want to play 3 innings and have to yank NN because of a rain delay. Maybe Doghouse can keep us in the loop.
Saw PTI as well.
I was expecting it. It’s easy to bully a team when they’re down.

I think it will eventually be cancelled
There is a storm coming which will delay first pitch until 8:30 or 9, and then it looks like another small storm line after that:
http://www.weather.com/outlook/events/sports/map/interactive/72366:20?from=hrly_topnav_sports
So either a late start plus a mid-game delay, or no game

See...people expected the Padres to suck...but Manny and Griffey are apparently the only stories on the west coast.
Yep.
The Padres blog (Gaslamp Ball) is pretty livid about it as well.

My list is: PNC Park; Citizens Bank Park; RFK; Stade Olympique; Camden Yards and AT&T Park. I’ll add Nats Park to the list next month, and I’m planning on going to see the A’s this summer (since I’m living in the Bay Area now).
Favorite so far: AT&T Park. Unique design, sits right on the water, good seating, friendly staff, decent food.
I forgot Citizens Bank...
…because when I went there, the Nationals blew a late lead, and some teenage girl ran into the back of my Subaru while I was stopped at a light…(she was doing 60 at the time too…Thanks, Philly!!!

So uh why was Zim pulled with 2 outs? Cintron
won’t get it done.
Zim was the best hope of keeping ATL down
72 pitches
Zim pulled after 72 frigging pitches
and
by the time I’m done typing my message, Cintron is already out
The kid had only pitched 72 pitches..
He had enough for the 7th.

O.K. I see we're telling rain stories
Last year at Camden (free tickets) the deluge began in the 5th (I think). It was ridiculous. The rain drops were as big as baseballs. My friend and I waited 30 minutes. No let up. We ran 3/4 of a mile to my car. Rain on the streets was probably 3 inches deep. Stripped down to boxers to get in the car. Everyone was doing it. The parking garage full of half naked people. Funny as hell.

I was working in a kitchen in Hamburg, Germany awhile back
and the chef prepared fried vanilla ice cream surrounded with Marzipan. Perhaps THE most delicious thing I have ever had.

I hate to tell you
I’m actually not a Nats fan. I just have four of them on my fantasy team. The Zimms, Nick Johnson, and Dukes.
I’m a Cardinals fan. We sympathize with your bullpen troubles.

howdy gents
just home from the stadium. i wasn’t sitting thru the second rain delay. Zimm(n) looked pretty good. not as sharp as we saw him in Florida though. i’ll attribute that to the weather. he should have K/inning pretty quicky. he sat 95-96 with good movement though, and threw strikes. way to go kid.
oh, one more thing.
C-A-P-S, CAPS CAPS CAPS.
the two hour rain delay was enough to see most of the game from the Red Loft.

Wonder what the players are doing in the clubhouse to stay entertained?
I bet Dukes has either a Dominoes or Spades game going on.
Dunn probably has a tobacco spitin contest going on.
Zimmerman squared is probably tied up in a corner somewhere for being a rook.
Acta only shakes head.

Holy cow, what a thread!
Just got back on the Metro—caught the last train after hearing the delay was supposed to be 2 hours… ooops.

Double-N looked good. A lot of contact, but he didn't get rattled and brought the heat.
And what was up with the unearned out? Pure comedy! It’s nice to see a goofy play like that go our way for once.
