Last time J-Max was up, he was flailing at stuff on the outside corner. Now it’s the inside corner. Eventually he’ll run out of places to whiff and start hitting, right?

He's got to whiff at the stuff down the middle first.

Riggleman on toinght's lineup (from Nats Journal):

he’s got his head up something, um, what’s the phrase i’m looking for???

Jim Riggleman, on why Ian Desmond is out of the lineup: “Well, it’s not to just play him every day, but as I’ve said before I just can’t abandon those who’ve been out there for us all year. It just so happens we’re facing [Cliff] Lee. [Alberto] Gonzalez set a Nationals’ record with three doubles against Lee last week, so if I’m going to give Gonzalez an opportunity to help the ballclub I felt like this would be the night.”
