vs DC - N/A
Origin Story - Toronto Blue Jays' 1st Round pick, 38th overall in 2007.
#6 vs #38...
Dueling left-handed '07 1st Round picks on display, Detwiler out of Missouri State University, Cecil out of Dematha High in Hyatsville, MD and The University of Maryland, so he might have a nice home town contingent in Nationals Park tonight. Cecil was (10-10) with a 3.15 ERA and 217 K's in 217.1 IP over 50 starts and 51 overall appearances in the Blue Jays' system before being called up to make his MLB debut on May 5th. Detwiler got a brief look in late September of his draft year, but he made his first major league start back on May 18th. Cecil's first win was in his second start, when he pitched 6.0 shutout innings against the Oakland A's in a 5-0 Jays' win. Detwiler's still winless in the Majors, though that might have more to do with the Nationals' success than Detwiler's work on the mound.
Is Adam Dunn Almost Dunn In DC?
In case you missed it, Washington Times' writer Ben Goessling had the latest updates on the Nationals' plans heading toward the trade deadline in an article the other day entitled, "Trade Strategy for Nats", in which he threw out the names, Adam Dunn, Nick Johnson, Cristian Guzman and Austin Kearns as players that could potentially be moved at or before the deadline. Mr. Goessling mentions that the Nationals' "Acting" GM Mike Rizzo wasn't, "...willing to outline," what the Nationals would do, but Mr. Rizzo is quoted in the article stating that the Nationals are, "...always open to make good baseball deals at any time during the season."
John Lannan On The Fan...
After Long Island's finest John Lannan beat the Yankees the other day, he was a guest on the "Midday Show With Joe Benigno" at WFAN 770 AM, and I took some notes while I was driving around and listening which I haven't had a chance to decipher until now... Here's what Lannan had to say...(paraphrasing of course, since I was driving and taking notes)...
John Lannan:
-- Grew up a Yankee fan, so it was exciting to pitch in Yankee Stadium.
-- Nervous? "No, I wasn't nervous at all, only time it got to me was in the 9th when they started the, 'Let's Go Yankees.'"
-- Favorite Yankees? Bernie Williams, Don Mattingly, Derek Jeter.
-- Were you intimidated by the Yankees, who you were pitching to? "Prepared myself for start, you take the name away from the batter. Realize you're on the same stage as them."
-- Cano HR? "It was on a curve low, Cano's real hot." (Lannan thought he made a great pitch.)
-- Against Damon? Lannan says his thought process was that in the last AB, Damon hit a slider, so challenge him with a fastball but he got it up.
-- Lannan was "a little bummed" he didn't go all nine.
-- What was it like watching MacDougal close it? Were you confident in MacDougal against Cano in last AB of game? " Knew If he (MacDougal) kept challenging Cano, knew he'd get a groundout." (ed. note - "9 fastballs on the outside corner got the DP grounder.")
-- Which MLB hitters give you the most trouble? Lannan says he hasn't really been around long enough, but Chase Utley gives him most trouble, he's "right on the dish", which Lannan mentions caused some problems once. David Wright and Carlos Beltran, and Gary Sheffield game him some trouble recently."
-- As a Yankee fan growing up did you hate the Mets? No, just a fan of baseball.
-- 17 wins? How tough is it to pitch for the Nationals? "It's tough because we're not as bad as our record. Most games we make 1-2 mistakes."
-- Young pitchers? Lannan says he's glad to be a part of the organization, because of the young pitchers, players, the all have unbelievable stuff.
-- Acta? "Manny Acta's great, laid back, patient, don't want to see him go."

Hammer re-instated (hopefully to the bench) and Patterson, 2-for-15 (.133) back Syracuse

Oh Boy. Will it be Dunn - Dukes - Hammer?
Harris in CF would be nice, but the bat of Dukes almost has to be in there.
Dukes is "scuffling" (as Mannyger put it), but how can you bench TAWH's glove? And Dukes needs to be in RF.
Hammer will probably get worked in tomorrow, to get him back in the swing of things/mind back on the game, etc, rather than go with the winning players.
But, I was surprised at yesterday’s lineup, and would like to be surprised today.
[no update from ed after his confrontation with Big Donkey/Walky/Dunn-K/SlumpyDinky…. someone please check the emergency rooms!!!]

Me
But what was Doghouse’s question that cracked up Dunn? :)
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
Doghouse wanted to know if he'd changed anything about his swing that resulted in him hitting more single and going opposite field...
…and he answered real seriously for a moment that he was working real hard on it and making some adjustments, and then started laughing and said, “Heck NO! I’m not trying to hit singles.”

Was supposed to just be ZImmerman and Dunn talking to us, but Nick Johnson and Willie Harris came along...
Johnson refused to take questions, and when they tried he just kept cracking himself up and just said to ask someone else, he and Wiillie Harris were just along to watch…

If a team can spend hundreds of thousands on coaches + players… they can hire someone to make sure they can eat right.

http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=4275241
Mariners outfielder Endy Chavez is done for the season and likely won’t be ready when spring training begins next year following a violent collision that shredded his right knee.
Chavez tore a pair of ligaments and cartilage in his knee, the Mariners said Saturday. Team physician Dr. Edward Khalfayan said the likely recovery time for Chavez following surgery will be about nine months to one year.

But there's not a point in being aggressive if there's no real benefit from it.

That's funny.
Vivi, my dog, is very shy so we don’t do conversations with other people when she’s out.
On the other hand, my beloved Bearded Collie (whom I finally had to part with at 15 last year) welcomed all conversations with dogs, people, cats, whatever. I still miss him big time.

That’s the only bad thing about dogs: they don’t live nearly long enough.
My Beardie was also known as The Greeter at the dog park in Napa. Fun times.
I was the Enforcer — carried a large water gun to break up the dog fights with a swift blast of water to the nose.

Not to rub it in, but the angst of losing to the Nats is somewhat enjoyable. The consternation regarding the concept of a double-switch is a delight. Silly AL fans...

“OK… I have to admit – I don’t really understand what that means. Grew up always watching AL in the DH era, so I have no experience with NL outside of the recent interleague play”
“Alright. You can have players switch defensive positions in game. So basically it means that Ryan and Rios switched defensive positions. Then Inglett came in for Ryan in Left, and Camp came in for Rios on the mound.’ (nice try, but it’s about the batting order, guys)
“I just explained it to my dad too, he says thanks Though he also says that maybe the DH is easier "
“But I was being very vocal during the Philly series about how much I hated the pitchers hitting… especially in bases loaded situations.”
" It just takes something out of it Kills a rally or takes a pitcher out of a game." (Boo hoo)
…………………………………
“Man that’s frustrating. We literally beat the crap out of the ball in Philly against the world champs then absolutely forget anything we know about hitting against the worst team in baseball. "
“I can’t believe that the Nats (THE FREAKING NATIONALS!) bullpen has held us essentially scoreless for 4.1 innings today and 5.1 yesteday. More than an entire game against the worst bullpen in the league and not a single run. Un-freaking-beleivable.
I feel sick to my stomach watching this crap sometimes."
Hey, no one mentioned the fake umps got to go onto the field for the Presidents race.
