GameThread: Florida Marlins At Washington Nationals - Game 109 Of 162.
Miami Marlins at Washington Nationals, Aug 6, 2009 12:35 PM EDT
Harrisburg Senators' New Starter Debuts...
On July 31, 2009, the Washington Nationals traded 1B Nick Johnson to the Florida Marlins for 22-year-old lefty starter Aaron Thompson, who made his debut with DC's Double-A affiliate last night, taking the L in a Senators' loss to the Binghamton Mets. Thompson allowed 5 hits, 3 walks and 3 ER in 5.0 IP, over which he collected 5 K's.
Zimmermann Takes On The Carolina League...
Jordan Zimmermann was down in the Class-A Carolina League Tuesday night to get a rehab start with the Potomac Nationals. Anthony Masterson with the P-Nats wrote in an article entitled, "Zimmerman, Espinosa Not Enough For Nats", that Zimmermann, "...made quite a splash in the beginning of the ballgame, striking out the side in the bottom of the first inning," but Zimmerman took a line drive off his backside and departed early in Potomac's 7-3 loss to the Frederick Keys. I asked Mr. Masterson if he could let me know how Zimmermann looked and he sent a note along on Wednesday afternoon that read in part:
"Zimmermann looked excellent last night in his rehab start...He allowed one home run on a hanging breaking ball, but that was pretty much all the Keys could muster off him. His fastball hit 95 consistently, his curveball had nice tilt to it, and his slider had sharp break to it. He definitely overmatched every hitter he faced in one way or another..."
- thanks again, Mr. Masterson.
• (ed. note - According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, DC fans may not have to wait long for Jordan Zimmermann's return to DC, as Mr. Ladson writes, in a blog post entitled, "Kearns seeing specialist, Zim may get big-league start", that "the team has not decided where he will make his next start...If he pitches in the big leagues, Zimmerman will likely start against the Braves on Tuesday.")

HOLY CRAP
Tracee Hamilton reports from the Nationals’ clubhouse that the team has traded second baseman Anderson Hernandez to the Mets for minor league utility player Greg Veloz. To take Hernandez’s spot on the roster, Washington called up right-hander Saul Rivera for today’s game.
More on the trade
Freaking twitter’s been down for hours or we could have known about this for at least an hour. Well Elvis wasn’t the answer…that seemed clear.
it's true...i didn't want to jump the game thred so i'll put the deets in here...
The Washington Nationals traded Anderson Hernandez back to the New York Mets in exchange for Single-A 2B Greg Veloz.
Veloz, who will report to Potomac of the Single-A Carolina League, is a career .249 hitter with 77 doubles, 19 home runs, 145 RBI and 108 stolen bases in three-plus professional seasons. In his three complete pro campaigns, Veloz has averaged 30 stolen bases. He entered the season rated among the Mets’ top 25 prospects as listed in Baseball America’s 2009 Prospect Handbook.
To take Hernandez’ roster spot, the team recalled RHRP Saul Rivera.
Rivera, 31, rejoins the Nationals after going 2-5 with seven holds, two saves and a 3.55 ERA (18 ER/45.2 IP) in 30 appearanes with Syracuse. A member of the Nationals’ Opening Day roster, Rivera went 0-1 with an 8.49 ERA (11 ER/11.2 IP) in 10 appearances with Washington before being optioned to Syracuse on April 20.

that's my guess
his ERA at Syracuse was good, but he’s still been putting a ton of runners on base.

Best part of the game so far
Between inning wacky clip of Screech out fishing on the Potomac—they intercut clips of actual Marlins fighting on the line with Screech on the boat in his fisherman vest. At the end, Screech is standing on the dugout with “the catch of the day,” a stuffed marlins mascot hanging off his fishing pole… Heh… Too bad about the score..

ok, I admit it
Zim has his swing back. Maybe in June he was adjusting his swing for more power and it took a while to get things working. Yay!
