…ain’t too much available in the way of roster spots. Any chance that they could convert him to another position? He did have a good bat.

He is a big guy to put in the OF.

might as well put Maxwell in there
they’re both offensively horrible…at least J-Max is great defensively. Neither of those guys projects to play there long-term so it really doesn’t matter
MASN said Bernadina’s natural position is LF….but I’m still saying that the season is no time to do exxperiments. Leave Willie in LF and put Bernie in RF.
I agree with this

Miguel Cabrera knows he probably can't win the triple crown
because Bautista (37 HRs) is going nuts, but he’s trying (3 HRs now in the last two days). He’s got 31.
leading the NL in batting
but 3 HRs behind Dunn and Pujols (who could do it as well) and about a dozen RBIs behind Albert
only 8
a few games of people actually getting on base for him and he makes that up
Aim for the head baby Jesus
Albert is hitting .314 to Votto's .324
otherwise he’d be leading the triple crown categories right now. Hard to argue he’s not more likely to get it than Votto?
Albert can make up 10 points on Votto in 2 months
He’s a career .330 hitter, and he’s hitting .421 in August. Oh yeah, and he’s the best hitter in the game.
Lannan has same pitch count but 2 less strikes than Lowe.
Also, one more hit, one less K.

I'm very proud of the way he handled his demotion.
Accepted that he wasn’t performing, didn’t feel entitled to a rotation spot (cough, Marquis, cough), worked on his weaknesses, and has been at least a little better than he was beforehand. Took advantage of the door when it cracked open and doesn’t seem inclined to be sent back down making it easier for us to hold Olsen and Marquis accountable for their performance.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
absolutely right
I was glad they demoted John (nobody deserves a free ride) and I’m really impressed with how he’s bounced back. Greatly lowered expectations from the last two years are probably helping him, now that we don’t need him to be an ace.
Very professional
It does help that he has less pressure on him, like you said, and I think he can go out and pitch knowing that he has no pressure to win every game. That stint in the minor leagues has visibly helped him out so far.

Yep.
It’s hard to root against the guy. I don’t know how he fits into the rotation. But even if we send him to Syracuse to start the year, seems like he would handle it well. I just hope that we will let performance, not salaries settle ties if Livo, Marquis, and Lannan are battling for rotation spots.

He should have walked in his first at-bat and he hit a hard line drive to center after seeing a bunch of pitches. He’s done great so far…I’d like to see him throw but the Braves never send runners.

ok, now with the two runs
I have more confidence in leaving Lannan in…but just so we’re clear, I said take him out.
for the record
I also said they should take Lowe out in the bottom of the 5th, and he gave up two big insurance runs in the 6th.
I believe you said that until you realized he hadn't gone 5 yet and then backtracked.

take him out if he gets an RISP.

but I hate doing that to our relievers
Riggleman always sends guys like Livan out for “one more inning” and then takes them out when they leave the reliever in a huge jam.
That's why I want to do it with a SMALL jam.
4-0 with a guy on second is not the same as 4-3 with a guy on second.

after what happened to Olsen
it’s Riggleman’s fault for not keeping it from happening again. This is what he does all the time, especially with Livan. Stop being desperate to get extra innings from your starters on days like this….it costs us games.
you don't take out your starter after 5 when he's given up 3 hits and 0 runs
Rookie Umps - Just trying to make a name for themselves!
thats why you're not a manager.
because a good one would have. The idea is to take a pitcher out before he hits the wall, not after he’s run into it.
totally untrue.
That was so obvious that Lannan was going to have problems getting through that inning.
You guys are like Joe Morgan over here…stop looking at the pitch count.
you should be blaming Lannan for his inability to go over 5 innings
Rookie Umps - Just trying to make a name for themselves!
Exactly!
Lannan was totally gassed and nibbling = Recipe for Disaster
Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes. Oscar Wilde
thank you.
No first pitch strikes, falling behind every hitter, the top of the order coming up for another look at him, and a lot of humidity makes 80 pitches seem like 110.
He never should have been in that inning, and you can look at the result if you disagree. You’re wrong this time.
I don't disagree with Riggs giving him a chance.
But he should have had someone warming. Lannan pitched to at least one batter too many.

I'm going to be nice to you from now on.
I don’t want you to sick robot umpire on me, Iron Man.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
At some point
You have to loosen the reins a bit and see what you’ve got. Lannan has shown some improvement since coming back from the minors, but he’s pitching for his job (more for next year) at this point. If he can’t show that he’s built up the stamina to work deeper than five innings and he can’t show that he can’t work his way out of some trouble, then he may not have a starting job down the road.
Yeah…. Someone should probably have gotten up (maybe not to start the inning, but as soon as the leadoff man reached). Still, in all honesty, the Nats need to use this opportunity to evaluate players.
As expected, they’re out of the race. You figure that the rotation has a few guys locked in for next year:
Strasburg
Zimmermann
Maya
Livo, if they re-sign him
Find another. It might be Lannan. It might be Olsen. It might be (gulp) Marquis.
Frankly, despite the heat, if Lannan can’t show that he can last more than 80 pitches or 5 innings without tiring, you’re learning that he’s not gonna be that guy.
Wins are still nice at this point in the season, but wins and losses are less important at this point than learning what you have for down the road. We’ve seen Good Lannan. We’ve seen Awful Lannan. We’re trying to see what Lannan is now that he’s kind of in between.

I've never been convinced by Livo
But the longer it goes on, the more I have to admit that the results may outweigh the process that should lead to results…. at least for now. Regardless, it seems clear that the Nats will try to retain him, and it seems clear that he’d like to remain a National. I assume that he’ll be re-signed, even if I don’t think it’s the best thing for the organization going forward.
He’ll slot in as a #4/#5 type. Maya will battle, and I assume he’ll start next season in the rotation.
Detwiler will get his shot, though he may be better served by spending half a season at AAA or working his way into the rotation through the big league bullpen.

Maya

It's like Willingham.
Willingham will have to go to arbitration and likely will earn a pay raise if he’s offered a too low offer from the Nationals. If Lannan is due for arbitration he would get a significant pay raise next year. This kind of arbitration is a way to negotiate fair salary for those players who have a certain amount of service time but are tied to their original team due to the reserve clause.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
There is the option of not offering Lannan arbitrtation
Which is just another reason to try and evaluate his ability to throw more than 80 pitches or 5 innings. I’m sure there’s some sarcasm, but just in case……
Lannan would have to accept arbitration if offered
Not offering him arbitration would have no effect on any type of draft picks

That's what I mean.
If you don’t offer it to him than it’s like Matt Capps with Pittsburgh. In hindsight, I imagine Pittsburgh would have liked to flip Matt Capps into Wilson Ramos.

Well
They could go the route that they went with Olsen last year. Non-tender him and then re-sign him anyway.

He does
Again, they went that route with Olsen, though. They still have the option of trying to re-sign him, and could do so before the arbitration deadline. Lannan agreeing to a deal before the arbitration deadline below a $3 million figure would probably cost himself money, so I wouldn’t expect it.

Arb isn't just based on 1 year I think.
Plus, I think the salary is based on some kind of average of all vets at the position. Don’t know about that. Two years ago he was successful. It’s just this year he hasn’t. It all depends on what the arbitrator thinks. And I bet the arbitrator doesn’t just punish him for this year.

Arbitration Figures
A) Players generally get between $400,000 and $800,000 for their salaries the first three seasons before they’ve hit arbitration.
B) Arbitration generally starts looking at a percentage of what they would be paid on the open market. Usually, you can expect that if a pitcher has given you a $7 or $8 million performance (looking at Lannan’s performance over his first two seasons, this could be argued), then he’s going to get about 50 or 60% of that. Second year, he’ll get more in the 70% range. Third year 80%.
C) You’re looking at the wider picture…. not the 2010 campaign. In 2008 and 2009, Lannan had sub-4.00 ERAs with a WHIP right around 1.35. He’s going to get a significant raise if he goes to arbitration.

Why we don't like Sutton:
1) He didn’t get along with Bob Carpenter and was part of the reason Carpenter almost got fired.
2) He clearly wanted to go to Atlanta and did not really like the Nationals but so much.
3) He’s full of himself and believes he knows more about baseball than many other people.
He does know a lot about baseball but it’s painful that he constantly reminds you about it.

Some here like him. I personally could NOT STAND the man the year he was the color
announcer. He’s arrogant and he hated Carpenter …tried six ways to Sunday to get Carpenter fired because Sutton knows Kasten, etc. Sutton thought he’d done the deed and was coming back as the full time announcer, but the fans stood up for Carpenter …and that was the end of Sutton.
It was so uncomfortable listening to the games with Sutton and Carpenter in the booth because I could hear the disdain Sutton had for Carpenter …and too much self love for Sutton.

Watching Yankee games for the past several years gives a misleading impression of Farnsworth
Because pinstripes freak Farnsworth out, and the Yankees beat him like a drum.
If Dunn had pinch hit for Harris,
I would have considered taking one Willie off the GuessEm board.

there was a second coney island amusement park on the ohio river, the name comes from this

Yeah, I guess the only chilli dogs I eat are from Ben's or Hard Times.
I have had some chilli dogs at Nathans in Vegas but I don’t remember a couple of them.
Hard Times may count as coneys
but barely, and only if made with the Cincy chili

I think he was fine as well.
I’m just saying that it had to be a tough on the guy to learn all of the pitchers and hitters in such a short amount of time as a rookie.

He's probably going back down to Syracuse.
But once rosters expand he needs to be the primary sub for Pudge and get some run.

Is this the return of "Cool Hand?"
I think he may be the only non-Strasburg starting pitcher with a better than .500 record!
I think he's at .500 now.
To me, Cool Hand Lannan would have found a way to get the quality start and go 6IP with the 2 runs rather than needing Peralta to bail him out. 5.1 on 100 pitches isn’t efficient enough for Lannan. Glad that he kept us in the game, though, and that effort was better than most of our starters the last couple of time through the rotation.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Yeah, you corrected before I could self-correct; he's 5-5
Stras remains the only +.500 starter on the team. It would be nice if we could have a couple of those, and would it be too much to have somebody win 10 games?
we will....Clippard has nine wins (probably not what you meant)
Livan’s on 8, he could get there too if he continues to pitch like he has all year.
