Washington Nationals/Boston Red Sox: One of Two To End Spring Training.
• No TV Or Radio Coverage Today For The Nationals And Red Sox...
Washington right-hander Garrett Mock finished his Spring by giving up 5 walks and 5 ER on 7 hits in 4.2 IP against the Florida Marlins this past Tuesday, ending on a low note after it appeared only a few weeks earlier that he'd pitched his way into the Nats' 2010 starting rotation. The confidence he had in his first few outings was gone by the time he took the mound this week, and the final impression he left in the Nats' coaches minds was of a pitcher who was once again struggling to throw strikes, as he walked three and gave up a ground-rule double to the Marlins' first baseman Gaby Sanchez, setting up a 5-run fifth that cost the Nationals the (meaningless) Grapefruit League game...Mock's competition for the final spot in the Nationals' starting rotation, Scott Olsen, make his final Spring start this afternoon against same Boston Red Sox the Washington Nationals will face tomorrow in Nationals Park. Olsen's last start was his best since he's returned from surgery to repair a torn left labrum, as he held the Atlanta Braves to 1 run on 7 hits in 5.1 IP over which the 26-year-old left-hander K'd 4 without allowing a walk. Olsen's issued just 1 walk in 14.2 IP this Spring, though he's allowed 30 hits and 11 ER in 14.2 IP as he's worked to build strength in his surgically-repaired shoulder. Olsen found out earlier this week that Washington was going to keep him, earning the 5-year veteran the full amount of the $1M dollar twenty-ten contract he signed with DC this winter regardless of where the Nationals decide he'll start the season...Olsen's last chance to win a spot in the Nats' 2010 rotation starts at 1:05 pm EST from the Boston Red Sox Spring home, City of Palms Park in Ft. Myers, Florida...

Probably PR managment
I would imagine they are trying to contain the PR he generates and allow him some space down in the minors to do his thing… it is possible bringing him up would just be a distraction for the big club…. but I am not sure why they wouldn’t from a business perspective…..

Although it lists Dogfish Head 90' IPA, I assume he means the 60...
…the 90 would be deadly. I think it’s 9 or 10% ABV.
"And everybody lived happily ever after. Except the Phillies and the Mets. The End." --Sasskuash
Friend of Dukes and Desmond #3
Ever tried the 120?
I had a sip of one and it tasted like somebody put a shot of everclear into a beer. Almost gagged. No reason for something like that to exist.
Haven't tried it.
I assume it’s basically barley wine, or was it a gimmick “look what I can do” brew that’s basically 20% ABV for the sake of it? It’s certainly possible to brew beer with an alcohol content in the teens that doesn’t taste harsh (and is one of the prime reasons to go to Belgian restaurants…)—I’m surprised the Dogfish folks messed it up.

Got into an argument with fellow SBN writer who picked Dunn as the Nats’ MVP…Asked if defense even figured into his thinking….makes no sense…

It does make SOME sense
I would have surely picked Zim, but I understand… Dunn’s presence surely helped Zim’s performance.
Rob
"Man may penetrate the outer reaches of the universe, he may solve the very secret of eternity itself, but for me, the ultimate human experience is to witness the flawless execution of a hit-and-run." -- Branch Rickey
I just think if anyone deserved overall NL MVP consideration...
The GG, Silver Slugger winner would get it…Dunn made a huge difference in lineup, agreed. Though some will challenge the whole idea of his “presence” helping Zim…
Even if he just got 10 more pitches to hit because Dunn was behind him, it gave him his highest HR total….

I've seen lots of studies about "protection"...
Most say it doesn’t really exist; I’d say lots of competing factors play into the process. I do believe that pitchers adjust their strategies based upon the runners on base and the hitters on deck. Whether those adjustments significantly help the batter or not is unclear.
