• LINKS:
• "Strasburg finds his comfort zone" - NATS INSIDER - Mark Zuckerman
"As he walked off the field at Great American Ball Park in the sixth inning tonight, his Nationals leading the Reds 7-3, Stephen Strasburg was surprised to hear a fan behind the dugout get on his case for merely looking like a very good mortal pitcher. "The soft-spoken rookie stared at the guy and responded: "Look at the scoreboard."
• Reds reach out and touch faith - and it sucks. Reds lose, 8-5. - Red Reporter
"Joe Nuxhall Memorial Honorary Star of the Game: Miguel Cairo. This was a tough award to assign. I didn't see the game, and my only criteria was to not give it to Strasburg. It sounded like maybe Cairo wasn't that sharp with his glove, but he never made an out at the plate, going 2-2 with 2 walks and 2 RBI."
• MLB.com's Bill Ladson - "Atilano to miss start with sore elbow" | nationals.com: News
"With Atilano not able to go on the mound Sunday, the Nationals are considering left-handers John Lannan and Matt Chico to make the start against the Brewers."

You know who was a real hitting pitcher and it was scary?
Steve Trachsel. They would pitch him like a real hitter too. Too bad he couldn’t pitch. Had to put Cubby outfielders on Waveland behind him.

Now if somehow they could get Maya up sooner rather than later along with JZimmnn and get Riggleman out of “respect the veterans” mode = MCM. And Capps getting 46 saves … then according to ESPN’s simulations good things should happen.

Yea, his late career rejuvenation has been key to their season.
And even if the Cardinals beat them out they are in OK position for the wild card, they just need Rolen to be healthy and Volquez to work out his control issues.

I was worried that we'd see the amazing Volquez today.
Glad for the Nats he’s still finding his form. He’ll be dangerous in another month.

I know, like i said he's in his prime
as opposed to Chapman who is just barely touching his potential right now. I was just saying Maya is pretty much at his potential and what you see is what you get.

Maybe the Maya signing has inspired everyone ...
If he and JZimmnn show up together that could lead to stringing some wins in a row.
Perhaps.
Certainly nice to have multiple paths for improving the team down the stretch. Milwaukee’s an opportunity to have a competent road trip. [This was the first time we’d won back to back games on the road since May and the Rockies series. But that was against two different teams].

Huge, huge effort by Livo and the defense.
I can’t remember a game where we’ve played that well defensively. Seemed like their were multiple balls that could have been hits that were outs. Bernadina’s missed foul ball hurt Strasburg in one of his starts. His catch and double play were a huge part of saving the pitch count and pitch stress enough for Livo to earn the complete game. We are really privileged to be able to watch him pitch and you wish that more of the bandwagon fans would come to see Livo while he’s pitching so well. Two great starts for him after teh break.

Berndaddy, you win this game.
I didn’t want to mention it during the game (for obvious reasons) but that was some excellent anti-jinxing earlier. I’ll have to add that to the FAQ if Patrick can ever get it back from Lou.

It's not what someone says that jinxs anything it's the usage of the word jinx that jinxs...
I hope that makes sense, so how do you reverse a jinx. Reverse it! Right!
Nice win. Great job by Livo.
Now if they can keep the offense going … maybe they can get to the Brewers’ pitching.
Patiently waiting for "next year" since 1971.
Why are they arguing about dinner
there is a montgomery Inn less than a mile down the road
Aim for the head baby Jesus
We sure licke'd 'em!
It’s the theme of the day :-D
Just out of curiosity, at what point in time do we conclude that Livan Hernandez isn’t a washed up geezer being coddled by an amazing run of luck, and just conclude that he is a better than average ML starter when he’s finally healthy and in shape? Oh, and that he really, really knows how to pitch?
Depends on his xFIP...
NEVER!!

Livo is worthy of the faceover Haters Gonna Hate gif.
Noone talks him about having a positive year and being such an amazing contributor for the Nats. I hope that the Maya signing means that we get to hold him for the rest of the year and beyond. This is a strange town: Washington Capitals, the team of Russia. Washington Nationals: the Team of Cuba.

I think it's fitting.
Someone from outside appreciates stuff we take granted. What better place than here?
