• Washington Post - Nationals Journal - Adam Kilgore - "J.D. Martin on disabled list; Collin Balester staying; bullpen in rough shape"

"Martin's truncated start left the Nationals bullpen, having thrown 9 2/3 innings in two days, in tatters. After initially deciding to option Collin Balester back to Class AAA Syracuse hours after recalling him for Saturday's game only, the Nationals changed course and kept Balester with the club."

• NATIONALS NEWS NETWORK: Dave Nichols - "GAME 98 REVIEW: I Didn't See It"

"Anyway, the Nats found new and interesting ways to lose another game, as Ryan Braun hit a walk-off against Drew Storen, after the Nats tied things up in the top of the ninth.  From multiple accounts, here are some bullet point 'highlights'..."

• MASNSports.com - Ben Goessling: "Mistakes cost Nationals in loss to Brewers"

"You can dress up the Nationals' 4-3 loss to the Brewers with all the platitudes you want; yes, the Nationals did an impressive job battling back after losing JD Martin to a strained lower back in the third inning, and yes, the game was one of the more entertaining ones they've played in some time."

Even if it’s just a montage of Dawson’s exploits in the field during the game Tuesday, they HAVE TO find a way to honor the guy.

I wrote a long piece about this for SB Nation DC that they're pondering publishing today or tomorrow...

The Cubs and Marlins are both honoring Dawson, and MASNSports.com’s Phil Woods made reference to the Nats having something planned for the future. If they were at home it would be a little more inexcusable to ignore it in my mind…

Congrats Hawk, you were one of my favorites.

Dibble makes no sense

He says that Detwiler can’t throw his other pitches for strikes, and the Brewers are teeing off on his fastball, so…
he should throw more fastballs.

Clearly, Det is TRYING to get his secondary stuff right. This will make his fastball effective.

When Ladson has to come up with things from his own mind...

…the results can be comic. But when he is reporting actual news, he appears to have an inside track to some of the other reporters because I imagine MLB prefers their own guys to be able to break more news and direct more traffic to MLB stuff. If it weren’t for Patrick and others, I’d probably hold my nose and subscribe to Ladson as well.
