Ryan Zimmerman - 1 for 2, .500 AVG, 1 2B. 



Blogger Conference Call Notes - (Paraphrased by yours truly)...

1st Segment - John Lannan, Jordan Zimmermann, Ross Detwiler, Craig Stammen...

McCatty vs St. Claire? - 

John Lannan - "Saint" more into the video aspect...likes to talk video, statistical analysis, McCatty is more about feel and what you see...Couldn't ask for a better pitching coach than they have now.

? For Zimmermann and Detwiler about throwing so many strikes...

Detwiler - My problem was giving up hits, was throwing strikes early, but (strikes were) too good, needs to throw more quality strikes...

Zimmermann - Problem is he gets ahear 0-2 and makes too good a pitch, throws it over the plate instead of wasting one...

Any Draft Day Memories?

Stammen - It was one of those deals where I was just happy to be drafted, and get the opportunity to play major league baseball.

Zimmermann - Really excited, didn't take too long to sign, a week or so, and headed right to Vermont...

Detwiler - Had no idea where I was going, when he heard it was the Nationals he was pretty excited, knowing he could come up quicker in DC. 

Lannan - Happy to be drafted, and get going and start professional career.

Any Advice For Strasburg? 

Stammen - Stay humble, keep a level head and keep working hard, doing what he's been doing...

Injury for Jordan Zimmermann?

Zimmermann - Elbow is just fine, a little tired, be ready to go on Saturday. (No lingering effects?) - Nothing.

Very Winable game for the Nats

Harang has a tendency to get lite up from time to time and it’s very possible Dunn takes him deep tonight. In something like his last 9 starts he has allowed a HR. Lets hope the trend continues tonight.

So this will be the one of three they usually manage...

The Hammer’s first start in right should be interesting too…

Back in a minute, just added notes from Blogger Conference, call Zimmermann’s fine, slightly testy about it…(just kidding, but the second “nothing” in the quote had finality.

Keep Kearns, pawn Nick.

I’ve been saying this for the last couple of weeks, but whatever trade value NJ has is going to be decimated by someone taking Kearns’ contract.

That's probably true, absorbing awful deal would mean less in return..

I have to figure they already have the money in the budget for Kearns' contract.

They might as well keep him if they can get more for NJ.

On the other hand, if financials are so tight they need to trade Kearns to have a shot at signing Strasburg ….well, first off I don’t believe that, and secondly that’s a different ballgame. I don’t think they’re the same budget, anyway.

by Graysnail on Jun 10, 2009 8:01 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

No, they have to have $15-$25M set aside to get Strasburg signed...Period.

Just saw the highlights from last nights game.

NO WAY that is a strike 3 to Kearns… the strike 3 to Dunn looked closer on TV than on Gameday (that nasty slider looked like is was closer to catching the plate).

Man, when its bad…its really bad.

"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."

I could see why the slider to Dunn was called a strike it fell through/across zone, fell way out...but the Kearns K was not a strike...

Did the highlights have Eckstein losing it?

The scouting report on them said “play them every chance you get…. team has poor offsense, defense and pitching”.

The next year:
I think Glavine won 20. Avery was lights out and Smoltz was up there for K leader. Gant was insane. Pendleton won MVP

He was great

Young hard throwing lefty. I was more a fan of Smoltz – man racked up Ks like a machine.

Although I was also partial to David Cone – he had like 20 pitches.

UPDATE | 10:46 p.m.] The grounds crew walked onto the field at 10:34 p.m., removed the tarp and drained the excess water from the field. Ten minutes later, almost all of the workers left the field. And just a few minutes later, the members of the Reds bullpen strolled off of the field. Nobody in the press box is quite sure what is happening. I will update you when I have more information.

Parsing the First Thirty by Brian Oliver

http://natsfarm.com/

Of the 20 arms …

14 were right-handed pitchers
6 were left-handed pitchers
2 were high schoolers (1 RHP & 1 LHP)
5 were from junior/community colleges (4 RHP & 1 LHP)
1 was a draft eligible sophomore (and has already signed)
7 were college juniors (5 RHP & 2 LHP)
5 were college seniors (3 RHP & 2 LHP)

And the 11 bats …

1 was a first baseman
1 was a second baseman
1 was a third baseman
6 were shortstops
2 were corner outfielders
6 were high schoolers (5 SS & 1 1B)
1 was a junior/community college (OF)
2 were college juniors (2B & corner OF)
2 were college seniors (3B &SS)

He had a quote in the paper early in the 2008 season...

…I don’t recall exactly how it went, but talking about the slow start, and everyone had to try harder and not be squirrels (or something like that). The name stuck, at least for Mrs. D. Raccoons must be the terror of squirrels, I imagine.

From NJ...

12 minutes to baseball.
====
There will be more baseball tonight. After much confusion, a Nationals spokesman announced in the press box that the estimated restart time of the game is 11:40 p.m. The tarp has just been removed and it barely appears to be misting outside, nothing that would bother a baseball game.

So I take the wife to a concert and still get home in time to see some Nats baseball after midnight… thank rain delay!

BTW, I know the Nats attendance has been down most because of their play, but the weather HAS to have something to do with it. If it’s not an unseasonably cold day (early in the season) it’s a horribly rainy day (recently).

This moves the winning percentage near the mid .200s. There are no teams in the .300s.

Next worse are the Orioles and D-Backs at .424.

What’s that kid’s name from Vegas who we draft next June?
