'09 Stats - (2-2), 8 GS, 42.1 IP, 50 H, 23 R, 22 ER, 9 HR, 9 BB, 43 K's, 4.68 ERA, 1.39 WHIP, .299 BAA.
vs DC - (5-3), 13 GS, 83.2 IP, 66 H, 19 R, 18 ER, 7 HR, 24 BB, 87 K's, 1.94 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, .216 BAA.
His Name Is Cole Hamels, And He Dominates DC...
Cole Hamels rolled his ankle fielding a bunt 4.1 innings into his last start against the Washington Nationals, and after attempting just one pitch from the rubber, the Phillies' left-handed ace disgustedly tossed the ball to Phils' Manager Charlie Manuel as he walked off the mound. The Nationals hadn't scored a run on Hamels, who walked 2 and K'd 4, continuing his dominance of DC, which started last season, with the 25-year-old '08 World Series MVP surrendering just 1 run in 3 starts and 22.1 IP in which he posted a 0.40 ERA, a 0.94 WHIP, and held the Nationals to a .177 AVG.
The Nationals vs Hamels...
Ronnie Belliard - 6 for 25, .240 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 8 K's.
Adam Dunn - 1 for 9, .111 AVG, 1 2B, 2 BB, 5 K's.
Cristian Guzman - 3 for 8, .375 AVG.
Nick Johnson - 3 for 13, .231 AVG, 3 2B, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 4 K's.
Austin Kearns - 6 for 23, .261 AVG, 2 2B, 1 RBI, 5 BB, 3 K's.
Justin Maxwell - 2 for 5, .400 AVG.
Josh Willingham - 2 for 13, .231 AVG, 2 2B, 1 HR, 3 RBI's, 2 BB, 7 K's.
Ryan Zimmerman - 11 for 39, .282 AVG, 2 2B, 2 HR, 2 RBI's, 1 BB, 8 K's.
(5-0) On A 13-34 Team, We Call Him Smarty!!
Shairon Martis walked 4, K'd 3 and gave up a 8 hits, 1 HR and 7 ER in 5.0 IP last time he started in Citizens Bank Park on April 27th, but the Nationals' 22-year-old righty received no decision in what was eventually a 13-11 DC loss. In his only other start against Philadelphia, (Martis made a relief appearance against Philly in '08), Martis beat the Phillies in DC's Nationals Park for the Nationals' first win of the 2009 season.
Martis vs The Phillies...
Ryan Howard - 2 for 5, .400 AVG, 1 HR, 4 RBI's.
Raul Ibanez - 4 for 6, .677AVG, 1 2B, 1 RBI.
Chase Utley - 2 for 4, .500 AVG, 2 BB.
Shane Victorino - 2 for 6, .333 AVG, 1 BB.

Manny Acta vs Jerry Manuel...
Eric Simon from the SBN's New York Mets blog, Amazin' Avenue, posted an article yesterday entitled, "Jerry Manuel vs Manny Acta: The Quotes" where Mr. Simon compared the progressive stat-based approach of the Nationals' Manager Manny Acta to that of the old school Mets' Manager Jerry Manuel by placing quotes on a variety of subjects side by side and asking the reader to identify who made each statement. I don't think you'll be surprised whose approach Mr. Simon prefers...
Acta's Not Going To Yell...
Washington Post writer Chico Harlan talked to DC Manager Manny Acta recently, and he writes about the conversations in an article entitled, "Acta Sees No Need For Alarm", in which Mr. Acta explains exactly how he arrived at his unwavering calm over the course of his career.
NOTES: (ed. note - "I'll add my wittyless observations here throughout the day, so check back or add your own in the comments, and I'll add them here as well...")
• I was multi-tasking last night, and maybe wasn't paying as much attention to the Nationals' game as usual, but was it just me or did the misplays in the outfield have as much to do with the loss as anything Ross Detwiler did?
• Kearns in center? Shoot for the gaps, Phils!!!

I couldn't believe they
could misplay so many fly balls. Did the coaches put them in wrong position?
Even Maxwell, who can play center, looked bad. I think Detwiler pitched pretty well, all things considered. The strike zone was a moving target. I agree with Dibble. Why do they keep pitching to Ibanez?
I'm recommending a program of one-pitch walks to Raul Ibanez...
…it looked like Dunn was out of position, or too shallow, Willingham was just lost and Maxwell misjudged the angled walls in center…Maxwell’s bat has to get hot or he’s headed back for upstate NY…

That Detwiler kid better grow up....... and grow up fast.
He just cannot allow hitters to hit the ball. Simple as that. Especially to a major league OF. This ain’t the minors, kid. Shoulda learned that in AAA.
It makes Manny look bad…..

Fabulous. He hasn't had his chance to make the lowlight reel there yet.......
Hmm, what to do… I see Guz has the best lifetime average against Hamels…… Night off!….. okay, that new kid had a couple hits against the guy….. nah, Syracuse!! …Oops, Willie Harris doesn’t want to play……no CF…….. (lightbulb)… Kearns!!… Lineup done!!!

Right, but does he win more than he costs with his D...check stats, most of his RBI's are knocking himself in, he's not exactly clutch...

he more than makes up for
giving up one extra base here and there with his bat.
its not even close
Not quite.
Check Dunn’s defensive stats. Compared to the average corner outfielder, he costs 20-30 runs on the season. That’s 2 extra losses. His offense (compared to league) average does make up for it, but it’s only like a game or so over average.
"We are all jinxers in NatsTown™." --cat daddy3000
We tease Dunn a lot, here, and tend to exaggerate about Dunn Stereotypical Behavior..
…but as Miss B put, we kid because we love. I liked to a Reds fan’s post a week or three back who examined all the Dunn “myths” (not clutch, only knocks in self, only hits mistake pitches) and found most of them well either false or vastly overstated. Except for the bad D. His hands are stone.
"We are all jinxers in NatsTown™." --cat daddy3000
Don't get us wrong, we like Dunn. He bashes, himself...
…bashes the ball, of course… both in the sense of enormous home runs, and (unfortunately) booting, missing, or playing-on-a-hop, far too many things that get hit to him in the outfield.
"We are all jinxers in NatsTown™." --cat daddy3000
And I'm not being sarcastic when I say I like Dunn.
But for all the games he’s won us with his bat, there are probably almost as many that he’s helped lose with his glove.

so then
would u give up his production at the plate for an above average fielder?
That's what happens every time Kearns starts in RF...
It’s more complicated, of course, since having Dunn in the lineup makes things better for everyone batting around him. I wouldn’t want to give up Dunn, but that will not stop me from wailing and gnashing my teeth when a fly ball bounces off of his head.

The Boxing Priest was right!
It’s the curse of Les Expos. The Nats won’t have a winning season until all the former Expos are gone. Sadly, the curse is at its height now that only one remains. Most sadly of all, that one is NJ. If we ever want to win, we may have to trade Nick Johnson.

I used to think it was kind of a funny joke...
...it’s not so funny now. What other explanation is there?

Oh, Doghouse wasn't silent....
I take comfort in Le Curse……. the parallel ironies of two cities who lost their teams…… the Selig Solution failed……. FAILED, and failed miserably…
This suffering is the reminder that the pain of the Expo past will not evaporate easily. Is there a shrine to the Montreal history of the franchise at the ballpark? If not, then I propose the real curse will not be lifted until that recognition is achieved in stone……. or maybe weird statues.
And maybe Nick has to go before that occurs to them…….

But remember, Manny Poppins won't panick until the Nats lose83 or 84...
Manny sez he's not panicking..."until we lose 83 or 84 games where I'll be convinced we won't be able to play .500 baseball." M Acta, 5/29/09
"Agggggghhhhhhh!" MissB, 5/29/09
I spared him of reprinting that quote...I was worried at 0-6 or 0-7...

You clearly need either more booze or more denial...
…although I’ve been using both, and I could still stand an aspirin or two!

Can we start counting near wins?
Well, in just about a week or so, when the draft starts, we will know whether
there is a slight possibility of hope for the future?
That's just the sort of denial we NEED to make it through the season!
That and much, much, much more beer. And maybe some cookies.

I was going to bake biscotti tonight, but then it all turned ugly so quickly...
…blame it on baker’s indifference.

Has any one heard from Stan “the man” lately?
Or from the Lerners? Of course they really don’t give a crap, do they ?!?!?
I saw Stan last week standing and watching the game and making notes on a little pad. Probably trying to look busy so nobody'd talk to him.
He kept mumbling something like “I could be in Toronto.”
...and by Dunn Grand Slam nightmares, I of course mean, "Howard Grand Slam nightmares..."
…have Dunn on the mind.

Anyone have an updated team error total? I have it at 48...MLB has 45 in 38 G, can't tell whether they count the tie game stats...
