• LINKS:
"We all saw it. We all saw what Stephen Strasburg did. His wasn't only perhaps the most incredible debut in Major League history; it was one of the most impressive and dominant pitching performances I've ever seen. I wouldn't put it at number one on the list, but the fact that it even merits consideration says all that needs to be said about what Strasburg did to the poor, underprepared Pittsburgh Pirates."
• What Strasburg Means, Redux | - Alex Remington - FanGraphs Baseball
"Stephen Strasburg isn’t overvalued or undervalued: his 100 mile-an-hour-heat is exactly as blistering as it appears to the naked eye, and his knee-buckling hook is just as devastating as Lastings Milledge thinks it is."

Excellent, excellent decision to bench Morgan.
He can’t hit lefties. He has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt he can’t hit lefties. Might as well give Bernadina a chance.
Really want to see Kennedy a chance to start some more games, though. I like his professional at bats and he’s been handling his demotion with great maturity.

I think we should have started Nyjer today, but I understand why Riggles didn't....
He jump-starts our offense when he gets on base, and he would have been pretty fired up to face his old team.

Circus lineup today?
Should be just like Tuesday since Livo and Stras are the basically the same—control guys, fastball/change/curve with 8-10 mph between each pitch. Heh. Let’s go Nats go!

It's about time Desmond batted 2nd
Two big reasons for the Nats offensive slump were Nyjer Morgan’s strikeouts and general failure to get on base, and Pudge’s stint on the DL. Pudge is back. Why not go all the way and keep Desmond in the no. 2 spot on a semi-regular basis? We’ll score a lot more runs with Guzman and Desmond hitting in front of Zimm, Dunner and Hammer.
I hate to say it but it looks like we are back to the old days of having a lingering CF problem.

I just don't think he is one of the main problems on this team.
So a guy has two below average months. He has much time to get it all back together. He can hit for average, he can steal bases, and he can play great D. He proved that last year. As we can see there are no better options…

Can't disagree with that, do wish Maxwell was pushing both Morgan and Bernie for playing time...

Me too. Maxwell has proven time and time again he is just not
a major league hitter. I would not be against moving Berny to CF and Nyjer to RF though. Nyjer is a much better corner outfielder.
Screech's Godson
I'd prefer an arm in RF....not to mention a power bat.

Well, he needs to play better
Study the game and think about what he needs to do, BEFORE the ball is actually hit. Dibble is right. Nyjer doesn’t have a sense of what he needs to be doing in certain situations, like those throws where he missed the cutoff man yesterday. A veteran shouldn’t be making those mistakes. And that’s on top of the many other questionable plays in the OF. And the pickoffs. And the strikeouts. Sorry, but he’s making himself too easy a target for criticism. He’s getting paid a lot of money. He should do a better job.
-------------------------------------------------

The CF problem would be easier to take without the RF problem
Relax, all right? Don't try to strike everybody out. Strikeouts are boring! Besides that, they're fascist. Throw some ground balls - it's more democratic.

The best way to mess up opposing hitters?
Strasburg on Day 1, Livan on Day 2. How better to screw up opposing teams with 101 mph one day and then 60 mph the next? Those teams won’t know what hit ’em. That would be awesome.

Bernadina needs to become a better hitter first
Guzman isn’t the ideal leadoff guy but he may be the best on the current roster. I don’t think Desmond should hit leadoff because he has shown himself to be a great clutch hitter with runners in scoring position. He’s become quite the RBI guy. Keep him out of the no. 1 spot and down in the order where he can keep driving in runs.

What's been lost in all the Strasburg mania?
The fact that he has one of the all-time best warm up songs ever: Seven Nation Army.

Yeah, I wish they had brought back Bard instead of Nieves.
Bard’s not injured this year and he always called a much better game than Nieves.
Bard is a better hitter than Nieves, but
he is just so slow it is hard to watch. But Bard > Nieves.

They thought Flores was going to give them more this year.
You don’t bring him to spring training if you think he’s going to be utterly gone.

It's hard as a Nats fan since Day One to fully process what is happening right now...
Question: is Stras pitching next Friday or Saturday? Because as i’m sure you all know Fox is carrying the Saturday game
Scheduled Friday.
But Fox has picked up Saturday. Every 5 days is Friday and that’s what the Nats seem to be leaning to. Every 5 starts would be Fox. I would also love to see Fox get snuffed. Doesn’t MLB network have a Friday night game? Got to believe someone will be covering most of Strasburg’s starts going forward.

He appears to trust Ernie. Don't think that's going to happen.
He kept GMGM when he bought the Caps. I think we don’t know how much of Ernie was following Abe’s wishes. I think keeping the Big 3 together was in part an effort to give a last chance for a playoff run for Abe.

totally off-topic but watching the promos reminded me...
Did anyone else think Lannan was a little too aggressive on pie-ing Strasburg the other night?
I think Lannan is going overboard with the shaving cream pies in general
He became the head piemaster last year when everyone kept anointing him the ace of the staff. I thought he might tone it down this year now that it has become clear that he is not deserving of that title. After hearing about that player who broke his leg at home plate on a walk-off HR, I worry a little that Lannan is going to put someone on the DL with the antics. That would be really, really, REALLLLLLY stupid.

Where the heck is he getting this heat from?
Souldrummer stands alone for Miguel Batista. Many want to see Capps save games. Dream big! MOAR RUNZ!!! MOAR BATISTA!!!!
he always had the arm
if i remember right. just too many in the dirt. he would throw breakers/sliders early in the count and get behind
To me, he was a casualty of the World Baseball Classic.
He sat around there and didn’t get necessary game action to show whether he should or shouldn’t close. Then he was thrown in their to close and he didn’t really have the stones for it. Certainly has a higher upside than Burnett, but I don’t have a problem with him finding greener pastures.
Souldrummer stands alone for Miguel Batista. Many want to see Capps save games. Dream big! MOAR RUNZ!!! MOAR BATISTA!!!!
Doesn't have the killer instinct to be a closer.
Plus he doesn’t trust his heat and tries to get fancy with the sliders,etc and often starts throwing dugout balls.

you try posting giant peaches and not getting addicted to it...

I only posted one giant jpg. I thought since it was the end of the game it would be ok. I normally keep my pics small. Patrick ask that I do so last year, so I obliged. But since the thread was almost over, I figured it couldn’t hurt. I’ll keep them small.

Not saying I take them lightly....just saying I hope the Nats rock them.
Heck, I hope the Nats rock every team they play.
Not a criticism. I know you're cool.
But I fear the Fighting Actas. Seems that Hanrahan and Milledge were very inspired to play against us this week.

Austin Kearns is actually hitting .301 this year.
Seems like he’s only capable of hitting over .200 if he’s playing for an Ohio team. I don’t mind him doing well this year. I just hope he doesn’t do well against the Nats. After the weekend, he can go back to hitting .300.

Michael Morse!!!
That’s why he cut his hair off. So that he could make sure that the wig fit.

remember when he was 0-2 and fisted a base hit in the 9th against the Astros?
He was that close to AAA
Have you seen AAA?
He wasn’t really going to get sent down for those guys.

Burnett was big, big, big tonight.
Walker and Burnett basically helped us get two big wins this series.

I was not expecting that when I typed "Mickey"....
(man, the pitchforks were out for Morse before this game….if only Nieves could hit a homer…)

OT: Anybody going to the Front Page in Arlington tomorrow for the viewing party against the Fighting Actas?

The Nationals are throwing an official viewing party at the Front Page in Arlington.
Leaning towards going but I may change my mind.
