Washington Nationals At Cleveland Indians: GameThread 64 Of 162.
Washington Nationals at Cleveland Indians, Jun 13, 2010 1:05 PM EDT
• For A Cleveland Indians Fan's Perspective Check Out The SB Nation's Indians Blog: Let's Go Tribe.
• Today's Starting Pitchers Are Going To Stare At You Now:
• BEAT LINKS:
• NATS INSIDER - Mark Zuckerman - "Nats to Stephen: Be our stopper"
"Fortunately, Stephen Strasburg is on the mound for tomorrow's series finale against the Indians. Unfortunately, he's being asked to stop a losing streak in only his second career start."
• MLB.com's Bill Ladson - "Strasburg impresses Hall of Famer Eckersley" | nationals.com: News
"'Obviously, he has great stuff and -- one at a time -- you could say he has the best gas, great hook, good changeup, but he has the command,' Eckersley said. 'He threw 94 pitches and had 14 strikeouts? How do you do that?'"
BG: Did you base the Strasburg plan on how other young pitchers had come up? How did you come up with it, and when?
Mike Rizzo: It was kind of a hybrid developmental plan. As you know, I've done this for quite a long time. I've never done it with as high a profile guy as this. Of course, I don't think anybody's done it with as high profile a guy as this guy. I had history to go back on, and I had the way I wanted to do it, which has been successful in the past...
• Washington Post - Nationals Journal - Adam Kilgore - "Stephen Strasburg's next step"
"Strasburg entered the majors with monumental expectations, and he promptly tore the ceiling off of his potential with his unforgettable, 14-strikeout debut. The Indians sold more than 8,000 tickets in three days following the announcement that Strasburg would pitch at Progressive Field on Sunday."

Strasburg
if strasburg is pitching a perfect game over 7 innings, and has only pitched, say 75-80 pitches, would they keep him in the whole game??
by Sam Crosbysucks Deutsch on Jun 13, 2010 11:52 AM EDT reply actions
I wouldnt see why not if that's his pitch count
the riggler kept him in longer than the prescribed 5-6 innings the other night since his count was down
Sports week
Is on CW DC right now before the Nats pregame. They have good guests though
Aim for the head baby Jesus
I read a random tweet this week (don't remember source)...
That said TBS/MLB Net would be blacked out in DC, think MASN/MASN2 whichever it’s on has exclusive rights in DC…

Be shocked if it's not.

pitch count
why do warmup pitches and pitches during practice not affect the pitch count? what is the difference? this whole 100 pitches a game/100 innings season thing is really pissing me off.
by Sam Crosbysucks Deutsch on Jun 13, 2010 12:14 PM EDT reply actions
Basically the concern is maximum effort pitches when you're talking about starters.
He’s not trying to break the radar gun at 100mph+ on his warmup pitches and bullpen sessions. On the other hand, relief pitchers should be a bit more concerned if they have to warmup every day and never get any rest at all.

work everyday, between 3 jobs
this is the best one to be at for baseball. Job 1 is in a hospital, no chance of even catching a score update. Job 2 is on a ambulance where I might be able to catch the game on the radio but also might be tied up on calls and miss the whole thing. Job 3 (this one) is in dispatch where I have 6 huge flatscreens but the tv audio hasnt worked well in months since we upgraded our equipment
You're a real trooper.
Sounds like some challenging work and I have much respect for anyone working in the health care professions or service professions in this economic environment. Hope of some that is by choice to build your future, but regardless my prayers or with you.

They're not but so great.
But it’s worth going to see them for Norris at catcher and Burgess in RF, two of our top position player prospects. AJ Morris was a high draft pick last year.
Potomac may be better in the 2nd half if they receive some reinforcements from Hagerstown as well. They certainly have fallen off from their Carolina League Championship a couple years back, but minors games are about both wins and player development.
Harrisburg’s offense is truly pathetic, though, and I feel for their fans.

But they’ve got him DHing today and we’ll see what happens going forward. I think they mentioned him possibly working on some throws from the outfield to try to get in the habit of throwing overhand, though.

What was he saying?
Seems to be Nyjer’s been playing a little bit better defense lately. Really stinks that he got thrown out so early in game 1 of the series. It’s time for a red light for Mr. Morgan.

What he said (same old cliche's as every other ballplayer)
The manner in which he said it what was really concerned me. He wasn’t upbeat and his same old self. Seemed more dour.

He should be.
His play has hurt the team, and I was more concerned when he seemed to kind of blow off the early criticism when he was obviously struggling and getting thrown out. If he craters in DC, that “Mr. Freeze off my twig” and the thrown glove stuff are going to come back to be his defining moments.

I just speak the truth.
Half the reason I wrote the gargantuan fanpost I just put up is that I want to see how the local editors respond. We’ve got DC United guys, Wizards and Skins people writing for the main DCHub (I think Patrick wrote his first thing on Oswalt today). Don’t have an opinion on things yet, but I kind of wanted to try to write something more in a Chris Needham style and see what happened.

if we drafted a team
and I took all the high k/ low walk guys and you took all the junk balling contact guys the smart money says my team would destroy yours on pitching alone
makes sense, dosent it?
The ball can’t fall in if the batter dosen’t hit it.
thats not to say some contact pitchers havent been succesful, only that strikeout pitchers have the potential to be better…
and yea, I remember maddux as a K guy
But a strike out pitcher rarely goes more than 7 innings
you need a combo of the 2

This seems like a fine time to point out
That Rob Neyer wrote an article last season about How nyjer Morgan was of the same value to the team as Adam Dunn was…. has he been fired yet?
I mean seriously, has anyone ever been more wrong about anything?
exactly why judging anything based on one year of UZR is
patently rediculous
btw he didnt qualify based on one year
the article was about how bad Dunns contract was because he and Nyjer were of equal value
Last year when he came Nyjer probably was.
Dunn’s been more valuable this year because he hasn’t been a butcher at 1B the way he was in the OF. There defense has gone in completely opposite directions. Early on this year everybody was talking about how Dunn wasn’t hitting with power.

We are 6th in Batting Average and 10th in runs scored.
It does not occur to Riggles that over aggression may be part of the reason for the disparity.

Anyone having issues that would necessitate a game-ending overflow thread?

He'd be better off if he could get the ball down and into the gap instead
of those high and easily catchable fly balls.
He needs to spend a LOT of time with Eckstein.

Our bullpen is pretty good. Can’t wait until the rest of the starters come around

Our bullpen is kind of two-faced.
Clipp, Storen, and Capps/Slaten sometimes are pretty good.
Walker, Batista, and sometimes Burnett are not as good.
But the bullpen has been much better than last year. You could be waiting awhile for the starters, though. Only Lannan is pitching below his career numbers and Livo is pitching well above his.

Atilano and Martin are pitching for their spots
Because Detwiler is pitching on rehab, and after the AS break I’m hoping to get Marquis back. Olsen, Wang & Zimmermann seem like longer term projects.
Marquis is currently ahead of Detwiler
according to the teams statements
Aim for the head baby Jesus
Got a link on that?
I know that Detwiler’s already pitched a rehab and Marquis has not.

Says Marquis is most likely only going to make 2 rehab starts, I’m pretty sure I heard them say a full month for Detwiler
Aim for the head baby Jesus
This is really old news.
This refers to his rehab before he got surgery. He made that rehab start, felt pain, and then got surgery that is supposed to keep him our for 6-10 weeks. Seems to me that Detwiler is still ahead of Marquis.

Another Dave Duncan son like Chris.
Someone Mike Rizzo consulted with to come up with Strasburg’s plan.
Hopefully the TAWH and Kennedy was a last try experiment
And they’ve now established themselves as deep bench players at best.
Kerry Wood's on, thankfully, now everyone can write about him and Stras and have a reason too...

I didn't even notice he was in the game.
You can’t really expect Batista to be sharp on back to back nights.
