Regarding the lineup, it's obvious Manny does not believe in historic success or failure vs. the opposing pitvcher
No cookie for Bluegrass, either… Donkey ate it…

Well, that's not a bad idea, really.
Success against a singular pitcher really doesn’t indicate that there will be future success.

Perhaps, although I figured Manny could point to that as an excuse to get a player in the lineup, *if he really wanted to*.
Still, the lefty/righty matchups concept is set in stone, even when splits say differently….It’s a tradition…

Yeah, the platoon advantage is legit.
Still, if there’s a large enough gap in skill level between platoon-advantaged player A and platoon-disadvantaged player B, you may as well play B anyway.

I suppose even the slim chance to watch Dunn run the bases does sell some tickets...
Has anyone clocked the mph difference between the home run trot, and the regular digging for the extra base?
It’s just fascinating watching the Donkey chug…

Is This How You Thought The First Half Would End?
No, as I picked 76 or 78 wins and a 3rd place finish….. so, a little behind on the pace.
I don’t recall so much roster movement, huge shock over the bullpen, and nevr expected the defence to play like………. well circus clowns…

Way more than he'll get the blame for.
I’m less than impressed with how he assembles a team, both from a free-agent and a minor-league perspective. That’s also true for his time with the ’Spos.

I think this past inning illustrates the problem any manager faces with the Nats! They can't execute
So what's the point in canning him, other than to send a message?
Better to ship off half the team for spare parts, but the replacements obviously aren’t any better at this point….

Direct quote from Dave Trembley’s presser happening now…
Asked about second half and what they’ll work on…
“FUNDAMENTALS. That and approach as to how you play the game. And playing the game with pride…and a little bit better attention to detail.”
To me, that sounds better than…they gave me crappy players so we’re crappy.
Yep, but I continue to maintain...
that Manny doesn’t understand fundamentals enough to emphasize them. He hides behind his stats.

You know, this team reminds me of that camp song...
that goes on forever:
Same song, second verse
Could get better, but it only gets worse
Same song, third verse
Could get better but it only gets worse, etc.

But these losses are draining, and they need to keep up their strength.

11 hits, no runs... another balked-in run...
…always a new way to lose in NatsTown™. Here’s hoping for better playing in the second half.
