?'s For The DC Faithful...
• Does It Ever Stop Raining In Washington, D.C.?
• What? Oh, Seriously? Redding's Pitching? He's Gonna Make The Nationals Pay Now, Isn't He?
• Martis, Lannan, Stammen vs Redding, Maine And Livan? Who Would You Rather Watch?
• So Was That 3-2 Pitch To Dunn Yesterday A Strike? Should He Have Been Swinging?
• What Milestones Are The Mets Reaching This Weekend?

Maybe The Nationals Should've Just Signed Redding, He Looks P***ed...Don't Look Right At Him...

Smarty Start...
1-5 against the Mets so far this season in six games played at Citi Field, the Nationals welcome New York to Nationals Park for the first time in '09 for a three game weekend set in the nation's capital. Shairon Martis, who takes the mound tonight for DC, dropped his first decision this year in his last start, when Ryan Howard hit two home runs (the second a massive grand slam) in Citizens Bank Park to lead the Phillies to a 9-6 victory. The loss dropped Martis to (5-1) in 10 starts, and the 22-year-old right-hander is now winless in his last three outings after having won five of his first seven starts for DC. Martis has allowed 19 hits and 17 ER in his last 16 IP, and on the year, he's posted a 5.62 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP and a .266 BAA. Martis has just one start against NY 14 starts into his MLB career, but it didn't last long, as the then 21-year-old righty went just three innings against the Mets late last season in a game in Nationals Park in which he surrendered 5 hits and 6 ER on 3 HR's.
Tim Redding vs The Washington Nationals...
Adam Dunn - 3 for 12, .250 AVG, 1 2B, 1 HR, 1 RBI, 1 BB, 3 K's.

STRASBURG FILES...
With the MLB Draft now only four days away I thought we'd start to look back at Federal Baseball.com's coverage of the projected #1 overall pick, SDSU right-hander Stephen Strasburg, to see how we first saw the young phenom and realized that the team and the player might be destined for one another. The first mention I can find in the archives is from September 6th 2008 (though he came up elsewhere long before then) in a game report on a Nationals/Braves game late in the season:
"...the Nationals figure to figure in two tight races down the stretch...The Battle between NY and Philly for the NL East crown, (which is the only way either team gets into Postseason play), and the battle for the #1 Draft Pick in '09, which looks to be coming down to race between the Mariners, Nationals, and Padres with the three game series from 9/19-9/21 between DC and SD possibly deciding projected #1 pick Stephen Strasburg's future...(ed. note - "More on Strasburg soon...")
I took the first serious look at the situation later that month, when I wrote an article about Strasburg, and no. 1 picks in general entitled, "Will The Washington Nationals Be Able To Sign A #1 Pick", in which I looked at the contract the last pitcher selected number one overall, David Price, received from the Tampa Bay Rays, and rehashed the then-recent failure on the Nationals' part to reach an agreement with their '08 1st Round pick Aaron Crow and concluded:
"...while you can't count on Stephen Strasburg to have as immediate an impact on the Nationals as David Price is poised to have on the Rays, the signing of Strasburg, a player who's drawn a considerable amount of national attention, would be a point of pride for a team enamored with its young stars like Ryan Zimmerman, Jesus Flores and John Lannan but desperate for even a shred of credibility in the baseball world, the kind of respect that only comes when you go out and sign the best player available in the draft...or add a free agent to the youngest roster in the Majors who can have an influence on-field and in the clubhouse in the development of a winning tradition...I can even take one more year of losing if..."
(ed. note - "I envy myself in the past, so naive, so unaware of the pain to come...")
"A shred of credibility in the baseball world," it's almost humorous to read that sentence now, back before SMILEYGATE and the resignation of the Former DC GM, before the 38 losses in 52 games, before the firing of the Saint, Randy St. Claire...
Coming Soon...(A look back at the coverage that started with this report by sdsuaztec4, our west coast correspondent who provided us with the best Strasburg live coverage around this past season.")

OK this is my first time at the new ballpark
What do I have to see before leaving tonight? I’m with a big crowd and I’m afraid I’ll be limited in my pre-game running around. BTW I am bringing a saw for the extra arms etc on those statues. Yuck !
All I'll say is that the Mets are now officially vulnerable from the time the starter exits until the ninth when Frankie comes in...
The only thing I’m sure to do each time is get a Curly-W pretzel…in the center field snack alcove…
May dry weather greet you there tonight!!!

I always enjoy a Ben's Chilli Bowl half smoke with chilli & cheese. MMMmmmm
I kinda like the view from the deck way at the end of the top level of bleachers down the left field line. You can lean on the rail and look down at the game and all the people and maybe even see the monuments.
Thanks I eat a curly-W-pretzel w/ chili and cheese thinking of the wonder blogger @ Federal Baseball
I've been rocking the Five Guys
One of the nice parts about the team tanking this hard is nobody’s showing up to the game – and the line at Five Guys is much smaller. Plus, there’s nothing else decent / custom on the 1st base side in the upper half of the park, so it’s often Five Guys by default. Doesn’t help the lines, either.

I'm the only person who likes those statues, aren't they?
Really, until the team is any better, what’s wrong with absurdist art? Doesn’t it make sense?
Although in all seriousness, that took some guts putting up such nontraditional statues. I kind of like that.

If Zimmerman's one foot ahead of where he was, he makes that tag in ttime.
Dukes is on it tonight, and the umpire was in a bad position to make the call, standing right behind Zimmerman.
Zimm had him, SNY shot from outfield showed tag!

This was a matter of time...from Jayson Stark.
• It’s always a good idea to shoot for a milestone against those hospitable Washington Nationals. On Sunday, they were the victim of Jamie Moyer’s 250th career win. Four days later, they were on the wrong end of Randy Johnson’s 300th. So how rare is that? Glad you asked. If we use 200 wins as the official milestone cutoff, the last team to be victimized for two milestones (200, 250 or 300) in the same season was Rob Deer’s 1990 Brewers (Nolan Ryan’s 300th, Frank Tanana’s 200th). But if we raise the cutoff to 250, the Elias Sports Bureau reports, the Nationals become the first team to do anything like this twice in one year since Pop Corkhill’s 1891 Pirates helped Old Hoss Radbourn win his 300th and John Clarkson win his 250th. Hard to believe, folks.
Who are the Washington Nationals to stand in the way of history...

looking back at boxscore...
I think I would have trotted beimel back out for ninth inning to pitch to bottom of order…or did his spot come up in batting order. why do we bring out hanrahan in TIED games still? are we really banking on walk off magic still?
Nope, because the pitching spot is due up
1st in the bottom of the 10th.
So Beimel wouldn’t have come to bat in the 9th.

Hanrahan STILL doesn't have the mentality to be the closer...
no matter how much manny and his false metrics and fairy dust wishes want it to be so.
"This is a freakin' do-good league, it's not a try-good league...." Josh Bard 5/31/09
Less mentality, more inability to find the strike zone.
Joel Hanrahan throws only 53% first-pitch strikes. Think that’s bad? He only throws 43% of his total pitches for strikes. Somehow I think that’s a bigger issue.

Only throws 43% of his total pitches in the strike zone.
by Chris Pendley on Jun 5, 2009 10:24 PM EDT up reply actions
Can't do math. 46%.
Either way, still below the league average of 49%. Also, hitters fare way better on swings at his pitches out of the zone, but I don’t know what that means.
by Chris Pendley on Jun 5, 2009 10:26 PM EDT up reply actions
He doesn't trust his pitches....
so he tightens up and his pitches end up where they’re not supposed to.
And he should stop with the sliders for a good, long time—-in Syracuse, please.
"This is a freakin' do-good league, it's not a try-good league...." Josh Bard 5/31/09
I don't know the why, just the what.
The funny thing is that his slider has only tanked this season. I wonder if he’s injured and hiding it; we’ve seen slider problems sideline more than a few guys with the Nats before. His fastball, on the other hand, has shown the meatball tendencies before.

If they won't budge, someone will.
I mean, I wouldn’t expect anything other than a B / B- type for NJ at this point anyway; I imagine Boston knows they’re effectively dealing from strength, so they’re sticking in the B- / C+ range and seeing if the Nats blink. Half the problem may be that the Nats are asking for the B+ guys anyway – that was Trader Jim’s problem, too.
Someone will be willing to unload a pitching prospect; I’d say call Houston, but their farm’s barren and they have no need. San Fran can be talked into dumb trades. Minaya is a bit overrated as a trader. Both those guys have holes; someone has to be willing to part with some half-decent pitching guy.
Or heck, unload him for a MI type. I’m not picky. Just don’t torpedo his value because you’re trying to save a buck; that’s the wrong answer. Especially when your team is undervaluing Kearns because you don’t understand the value of defense.

No, the team's cursed because they didn't put money into development for years, gutted their mid-level prospects
Traded half the talent for 4th and 5th OFs, missed evaluations on numerous players, failing to assemble an adequate pitching staff, watching an overused bullpen completely implode, and just some random bad luck.
That’s the short version, at least.

But that doesn't absolve them from the blame.
At the end of the day, the Lerners are responsible for the product that is not only put out on the field, but the product in the stands, the minor leagues, the front office, and anything else you can think of that relates to the Nats. Heck, they’re even responsible for the cribbed-MASN deal where they’re either splitting or shorting revenue from the Orioles – I forget what that is. I wonder if they thought baseball would sell itself regardless of the on-field product.
