Olsen must like Nieves, or Manny feels he needs The Blocker or something...

And yet another pitcher that Dunn has only a double and a dinger to show for his efforts…

With Hammer and Dunn in at the same time, Manny needs the extra D.

ESPN was showing the linups in the crawl and it showed record for the last ten games. Nats 5-5 and Fish 6-4.

For the record, I don’t hate Manny.
I just don’t think he’s a good manager. He doesn’t know how to manage the bullpen - at all- and he doesn’t demand enough from the team as a whole. He’s too easy on them.

And I don’t mean he has to go all Lou on us, but those guys need to get better and they’re not. And I think that starts with the manager. IMHO, of course.

MASN = FAIL...

The only clip of Manny they showed after the game was Manny answering about what he told Tavarez when he visited the mound. Who even cares.

We’ll have to count on radio and others to find out why on earth he put Villone in the game.

Thanks for trying....... he visited the mound and didn't pull him? Even after he walked in a run?

I imagine even MASN didn’t want to broadcast the drivel…

Just watch...Bonifaco will go on the DL or something...

as soon as the Nats leave town …and after he’s hurt them as much as he did in the spring.

It is just so ironic that he'd hit a sac fly, when the Nats big bats never do....

They played for the sac fly and won... bunting the runner to 3rd...

Manny leaves Nick in to run on a bad leg, but somehow gets to 3rd. That non-move could’ve hurt. I don’t really blame him for not stealing with AG, but with two outs and needing two runs, that’s what most managers would do to try to tie it up on a base hit. But, then they’d just walk Hammer…
