More On The Pitchers...
Shairon Martis is coming off a rough start which saw the Nationals' 22-year old right-hander allow 8 hits and 6 ER in 5.0 IP last Sunday at home against Toronto. Martis is now winless since May 13th when he beat the SF Giants on the road in AT&T Park. Though he's yet to win in 4 June starts, Martis actually put up better numbers than he did when he was winning early this season. In his last 23.0 IP, Martis has allowed 18 hits and 10 ER, 2 HR's and in the one category in which he's struggled, 13 walks as opposed to just 4 K's. Compare Martis 3.91 June ERA, his 1.35 WHIP and .217 BAA to his numbers in April, where the rookie right-hander was (2-0) in 4 starts with a 6.20 ERA, 1.72 WHIP and a .312 BAA and you start to think this may be all Martis' fault...The Baltimore Orioles are 1-5 in Jeremy Guthrie's last six starts, with Guthrie (1-3). In June, Guthrie's posted a 5.85 ERA, a 1.30 WHIP and a .268 BAA in 20.0 IP in which he's allowed 22 hits, 16 R, 13 ER, 4 HR's and 4 BB while collecting 10 K's.

Man...Donkey at first.
Belly at 2B (or short right field)
Kearns?
OK, positive thoughts. Kearns will break out today. Positive thoughts.
When I saw the headline that Guz would DH, my reaction was, "General!!!",...... then I saw the rest.
Why do other teams seem to have stable line ups?

Hey, we have an unfair advantage. A creative lineups class down at the community center.
And not many players good enough to plug in every night. On a given day, besides SS, the Orioles have good players at every position…maybe not pitcher but all the fielding positions.
stupid community center and their stupid homework assignments......
btw, I am jealous of the rain…….

Oh my goodness
Are we an equal opportunity employer? Do we have to give guys who are offsensively challenged a bat every second night?

Yes, and wholesale swaps at that..... one change at a time I could handle, but this...

On another note
The Washington Post, Nationals Journal is running a poll on whether Hanrahan should be sent down… the surprising thing is – not that 67% think he should be DFA’s… but that 32% think he shouldn’t? Are they O’s fans?
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
(...I voted to keep him...) I think he's been jerked around and used badly.
Maybe next year, he gets it together…

for the love of humanity
Im going to put together 2hrs of highlights video of Hanrahan…and make you watch it…
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
hehe, I was going to say it was only 1 inning
But no Hanrahan tribute could be complete without the 3 (or is it 4) blown saves… the slider of death wild pitch with the bases loaded…
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
Is it my fault that Mannyanna has given me a positive outlook?
Oh look, these prisms make beautiful rainbows……
The one slider I saw in the highlights was low and away and their guy just threw his bat at it. It was brutal to see those punched hits with the infield in…. but it wasn’t like they were hammering him.
He was brought up too soon last year…. though he is 27…. I don’t know…

I'm going to say he sucks at finding the plate at this point.
27 is a bit late, but not unheard of, to get it together.

You've changed Catdaddy
He has an ERA of over 30 from the last 3 games!
"Baseball is like church. Many attend; few understand."
He's probably ruined now, but the 1.2 hitless innings vs. the Yankees?
Too much pressure early as closer, and Manny hanging him out to…. hang wasn’t what he needed. Who knows what Saint, then McCatty have told him to do…… He may just be dumb, like when he stated he believed the slider was his best pitch, but the catchers keep calling for it.
Strategically, there’s little to be gained this season by losing him, and trotting out another dreg to do the same.

Willie Harris: Player of the World!
Nationals principal owner Mark Lerner admitted to me this week that Nats utilityman Willie Harris is his favorite player. He also added that he wished he had a whole team of players like Willie.
Last year when Willie earned Player of the Week honors (POW) the Nats owner said he thought POW should stand for Player of the World. That’s a nickname that will stick with Willie for a while as he continues to play with such heart and energy here in Washington. He’s one of a kind and he’s not only a special player but more importantly he’s a special person.

For the questions.....
Rosswiler would benefit most from Syracuse
Hanny hides in the bullpen the rest of the year, unless there’s tradin’ to be done. (Goodbye and thanks, Mike O’Connor……)
Where is Donkey Power? Are all these pitchers that good?
DNTLM…..TLM….. shrug….

Are they gonig to be on the same line?
It’s no guarantee that Bouwmeester signs (remember, it was a trade for the rights to sign him), too. If it goes through Calgary takes a step up; I think Chicago & Detroit are the teams to catch in the West at this point, but Calgary’s moving the right way to get better for sure.

Chico goes three innings in AA start
By Pete McElroy on June 27, 2009 8:17 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
Left-hander Matt Chico threw three innings of two-hit ball in his first start for Double-A Harrisburg tonight.
Chico, coming off Tommy John surgery, allowed one unearned run, walked two and struck out one. He got four ground ball and four fly ball outs.
Right fielder Leonard Davis hit a two-run homer in the first after shortstop Ian Desmond’s throwing error gave Erie the 1-0 lead.
The game is tied 3-3 in the fourth
Seeing his Debi taylor interview the other day, he is a much more confident person.
Before he was always nervous and scared looking. Very open.
State of mind could make a nice difference in NatsTown
A couple times a season, he just throws one over the dugout...

When I can afford it.
Maybe next season…when Stras is pitching.

I saw Reimold's first game on MASN in KC.
This kid had so much buzz in the organization. We have to bring our guys up before they’re ready.

Look at it this way:
Nats need to go 0-10 over their next 10 to get back in the discussion with the ’62 Mets.
Might as well start this crap up again...

The D-Backs are gonna try and beat us out for him.
MissB. Was Ackley a senior? Maybe he won’t sign and we can get him next year
Nope, a junior.
He’s ready to play now. There’s no upside for him to stay as he probably would not be drafted #1 next year. Besides, Seattle drafted 3 Carolina guys so they’ll all go together.

I love the Marge Schott talk.
She actually cut advanced scouting…I’m supposed to pay for people to watch baseball games?

Actually, she gave humans a bad name. Awful, awful person.

Oh and by the way, the last X-files movie was rubbish...if only they'd made that show a decade later...

Night all...
Bad game, bad team, bad manager BUT
great people in NatsTown!

Later MissB
We may have to get NatsTown-FederalBaseball.com division people in a bar for one of these games.
Confirmed Stammen to the duck pond.
No other news except he thinks the first bases loaded failure set the tone for the game.
Had a similar take...well...having it right now...

Keep telling yourself that
David Hernandez is going to be really, really good. Maybe not tomorrow, but he’s just below the Big Three pitching prospects for the O’s. Hopefully, Nats fans will be surprised just how good he is tomorrow.
Or, maybe he’ll suck and you guys will win a laugher. Could happen.
"We're not the other teams' farm system." - Andy MacPhail
By the sixth inning, I assume we'll be calling him Cy Hernandez.
We always do in NatsTown.
If he destroys us, make sure the front office doesn’t read too much into it. Lots of first timers embarass us.
I thought you all were talking about actual reports on Colome/Hanrahan? Was that just conjecture? I can't find a report of that?
Good thing I went and looked…was thinking of complaining about it…heheh…

It has to be somebody...probably in the pen.
The money’s on Colome as he’s past his “prime” and Hanny may be a throw-in in the offseason.
Mr. Harlan made that official in his post game, I never should have doubted you all...
