Nieves out and Bard in.......... Oh and there's this.... from Chico...
“Manny Acta said today that Josh Willingham (viral infection) should be back in the lineup tomorrow. And when he returns, he’ll be (drumroll…) in rightfield. He, not Austin Kearns, will get most of the plate appearances. And Adam Dunn, who has been shuffled around, will now be playing strictly in left.”

I prefer Dukes in RF long term, but Hammer is okay for now. Anything but Kearns.

I suspect that’d be Dukes in the short term – and it better not be Willie Harris. Kearns’ bat is more palatable in CF provided his D is adequate.

Zimmermann "didn't feel right" in his side session after his last start...
…sore throwing arm, so far they’re called it a “tired arm.” C&D speculate he may pick up a few extra innings later in the season if he skips a turn or two, since he’s probably on a limited total IP for the season.

You're right...its a whole couple of inches down the arm.
:)
The fact they could never work out what the issue was with both pitchers was my main concern. They tried everything and could never work it out… a mystery of the ages.

With Hill, it was a problem related to how he threw sliders.
I don’t recall if they ever figured out exactly what was causing the pain / tightness, though.

No they never could. His MRIs always came up ok.
Scary really. He had a healthy arm according to doctors but always felt sore.

A self-assessment from an interview with baseballanalysts.com
Drew: I attack guys a lot. I throw a hard fastball and two different types of breaking balls. One is what I call a power slurve. It doesn’t have a 12-6 break. It’s more a 2-7:30 break if you’re looking at a clock. It’s 81-83. Then I throw a true slider that’s 87-89. I throw a change, but not in a relief role. I throw a lot of strikes. My command got a little stronger this year. My fastball is in the zone even when I get hit. That’s what happens when you throw strikes. I’m not one of those guys who’s going to be effectively wild. I don’t walk guys. I leave the ball up in the zone sometimes and pay for it. But I always try to jump ahead of guys and make them bite on a ball out of the zone when I get ahead.
Is he the perfect blend of Saint and McCatty philosophies?

Kobernus ,.........
Fielding: Has above-average defensive skills with good hands, and shows a good ability on the pivot turning the double play.
Range: Has very good range at second.
Physical Description: Kobernus is kind of like a taller version of Mark Grudzielanek.

My old friend used to say to me…when ur earning $$ to play the game and an ump gets it wrong…and it could mean u lose ur job – thats why u argue calls. It also shows the team u care which is sadly lacking.

home plate umpire Andy Fletcher......
The Nationals, meanwhile, had trouble getting a feel for home plate umpire Andy Fletcher’s strike zone. Seven of their nine strikeouts came on a called strike three, and the Nos. 3 and 4 hitters — Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn — each had an at-bat in which they started down the line to first assuming they’d drawn a walk on a full-count pitch — only to have Fletcher crank his arm to signal the ball had grazed the outside corner.
The final out came in a similar way. Pinch-hitter Austin Kearns thought he had drawn a low pitch for ball four, but Fletcher called him out to end the game.
