Kennedy vs. Oswalt...
Always makes me happy.
And hey, that’s not Cliff Lee!

Despite the better sample size, I'm more worried about Olsen vs. Ibanez.
Nats-Killer’s gotta be pissed about yesterday.

Batista got 1 inning, right?
Then he’s good as long as we don’t need him to do 5 innings.
But Peralta/Burnett/Storen’s our relief corps for today.

Rookie Umps - Just trying to make a name for themselves!
Let's see if the Nats and ump can combine to get Oswalt kicked out again...
Even if it was just the Ump in the Houston start…

very generous outside corner given by the ump
Rookie Umps - Just trying to make a name for themselves!
Better scouting would tell the Nats that Oswalt doesn't walk batters often...
they should plan to swing and attack more today.

No, but he DOES sometimes get behind batters early

I assume an accelerated version of what Stras did, yes....
Just line up the starts over the next week or so to get good idea of conditioning and arm strength and then up for the end of the year….

RISP 0-3.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
Misleading stat, that RISP
Desi sacrificed two strikes to try to help Morgan move forward, and his grounder was productive. Oh, yeah, and he was safe, too.

So do we.
We just have no idea how to keep it healthy.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
Have to wait until next year, no?
Maya looking really, really good … so …
Strasburg, Maya, Zimmermann, Hernandez, and pick a left handed starter.
Lannan if he's still Good Lannan come spring
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
Cliff Lee if I know Rizzo ... he will at least make a huge try for him.
Lannan becomes AAA veteran depth.
He'll make noise in that direction, yes.
But I think Dunn’s a bigger priority even for Rizzo.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
Why would Cliff Lee sign here?
We wont be a serious contender until 2012 and we probably wont have the highest offer for him.

UMD Class of 2014! GO TERPS!!!
Big pitcher contracts are the biggest risk ever
moreso than hitters. So much more injury risk and attrition attached than with hitters.
Signing the elite hitting and drafting the pitching sounds like the best strategy IMO.
Needs moar dingerz.
[whispers] This Cliff Lee guy is great...Oh it's Oswalt, huh....

Morgan fails tests on Rollins double....
Desmond throws out Ibanez, Rollins to third on groundout…Polanco does what Dunn and Zim couldn’t…1-0 Philly on sac fly.

Yes, just for his arm Bernadina is better ...
Plus he can leap those walls. Morgan would be a better second baseman methinks …
looking more and more like the utility replacement for Harris.
Would Morse have had a better chance?
Morgan called off Morse on the lazy fly, then didn’t even bother to try to throw Rollins out.
Rob
"Ninety feet between home plate and first base may be the closest man has ever come to perfection." -- Red Smith
Morgan's arm's better. Morse's ability to hit a cutoff is better.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
On the catch, yes.
On the throw?
I like Morgan’s arm better than Morse.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
Thats insane dude? Where did that come from?
The guy was a starting major league shortstop? He has a huge arm?
Morse has more ACCURACY.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
I was looking at Morse's defensive stats for fun on fangraphs...
I know its a small sample and all, but in 06 with the Mariners he had a -135.5 UZR/150. LOL

UMD Class of 2014! GO TERPS!!!
Morse is a bad defender
very little argument about that.
Rob
"Ninety feet between home plate and first base may be the closest man has ever come to perfection." -- Red Smith
Morgan has 2 assists this year
That’s gotta be among the low for all regular CFs. His arm is not his defensive strength.
Rob
"Ninety feet between home plate and first base may be the closest man has ever come to perfection." -- Red Smith
That's why the argument for Bernadina in center is so persuasive ...
Prolly why the Pirates had him in left.
Bernadina's on safely with a bunt to third and some speed....

Rob

It actually does ...

This is what I was saying about Morse vs. Morgan.
Morgan can throw really far, but nowhere near his target. Morse can hit a target, but it’ll take way too long to get there.

Weaker arm than Morse, Bernadina and Maxwell ...
And it hurt them at times … and he used to be a catcher?
Yes, but at least he KNEW how bad his arm was.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

Morse, Bernadina, and Maxwell ...
all have plus arms. Morse is still adjusting to the position after years at short, second, third and first.
Maxwell is not worth it.

I'm still upset he didn't just plow right into Polanco instead of jumping over him.
That would make Polanco and everybody else think twice about that move.

I understand that concept and want all the starters to get through 6 minimum...

OTH Oswalt seems to be getting stronger as the innings roll by.
Sigh.

It's amazing how much caring for the body can make a difference.
