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

http://mlb.mlb.com/news/press_releases/press_release.jsp?ymd=20090806&content_id=6276948&vkey=pr_was&fext=.jsp&c_id=was

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.

by RoscoeNats on Aug 6, 2009 11:38 AM EDT up reply actions  

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..

From MLBTradeRumors:

  The Nationals acquired former major leaguers Daryle Ward and Norris Hopper from the White Sox today, according to Bill Ladson of MLB.com. The players go from Chicago’s Triple A team to Washington’s.

  Ward, 34, played 11 big league seasons, most recently with last year’s Cubs. Hopper, 30, spent parts of three seasons with the Reds, but hasn’t appeared in the majors this year.

Now, don't go getting too jinxy and overconfident.

This is the Nats V The Fish. Flashbacks still haunt us of that other game.
Of course, Hanny isn’t here, but still……

Just take the ball and throw it where you want to. Throw strikes. Home plate don’t move.- Satchel Paige-

I was saying that in April, I don’t know why they let him rot in AAA and opted for younger arms

Seems like he had visa issues for a long time and then there were rules that he couldn’t come up for X number of games.

Not completely sure…but I’m glad he’s here now.

Errr.... and hate to beat a dead horse

But Nick Johnson swept again in Marlins-Nats series.

Even Ed has resigned himself to this now, I think.

Winning 5 in a row has a way of making the pain go away, right, Ed?
