What's the consensus about Stras?
I’ve been gone a lot since my boy is off to college [sob sob] and I didn’t see what the Federal Baseball crew think about shutting Jeezus down for the season.
I think they should, no matter what the contrast MRI says.

Sit him...
…if he’s on the DL he really should ramp slowly with rehab coming back from this one and it’s not too long until the end of the season. If they want to bring him back in September to just pitch reduced innings outings I guess I’d understand that. But I’d shut him down.

“So you may not be a handsome and witty baseball player like me, but they’ll still treat you like one and offer you a good price. Not as good as mine [free] but still a really.” WTEM plaed the Ryan Zimmerman Mercedes commercial (people asked me about it yesterday), and I’m hoping they’ll play the better “didgeridoo” and “talking british” ones.

Good evening, DC Faithful...
looking forward to match up between the the Iowa, I mean Chicago Cubs, and the Nationals.
Meet our new manager, Mike Quade. Behold our bullpen anchored by the veteran pitchers, Sean Marshall and Carlos Marmol. Casey Coleman is making his second start tonight.
"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"--The Brain
The circle is complete...
…Quade managed for Harrisburg from 1991-1992 when it was an Expos affiliate.

…fringy prospect rises through the ranks for issues of need. Sounds real familiar to the kinds of things we’ve been going through the last few years.

On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Damn.
There should be a big push to re-sign him (and I love Dunn).
It isn’t like he can really lose his “stuff.” Give him a 2 year deal.
He seems to be great around the younger pitchers.
And, well, he has been our best pitcher this year by far.
I just checked the arbitration lists...
…five guys he’s got to pass to get to Type B status. The next one he’s got to pass: Carlos Zambrano.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
If a guy is a type B free agent...
…you can offer him arbitration to him as a free agent. If he accepts, you have to pay him a certain amount for a one year deal. If he declines and signs with another team, you get a compensation pick. Or you can work it out amongst yourselves without going to arbitration.

What does he have to go to get fired? Inexcusable these kind of comments that could agitate the fan base. I hope somebody’s watching to MASN to see if he’s got the stones to say that to an audience of Nats fans.

Dib
knows that he is an entertainer. Inflammatory comments make for good press, even if on a message board. Not everyone can be Jon Miller. And not everyone can have Dib’s tatoos.
So long as you don’t cross too big of a line, he will continue to be employed (somewhere).
Yeah, I get that.
But you hope we could do better than a color guy whose comments directly assault the character of the kid. It’s not even his decision. Rizzo and the doctors are the ones who are so protective.

"Pinky, are you pondering what I'm pondering?"--The Brain
Who'd hire him?
It’s obvious he doesn’t get it and doesn’t do research. For those who find him entertaining, that’s cool. But it’s stuff that’s offensively stupid like that comment that bother me.

Remember, Dusty Baker still has a managing job

And he’s had a bunch of winning seasons.

I agree with protecting him now
and everyone seems to be on the company line.
But at some point, they are going to have to let him throw.
Sure.
The shoulder thing they probably let him throw through at some point. But the violent twinge in the forearm definitely warrants the protectiveness.

Are you pro Cubs tonight?

Considering the Cubs season, I’ll concede Wednesday’s game if it gets Marquis a win.

That defense is such a large part of the difference for him this year.

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/dcsportsbog/2010/08/rob_dibble_to_stephen_strasbur.html
It’s horrendous
Needs moar dingerz.
You'd think he'd be smart enough not to say something like this after he got tattooed on the last comments.
You know, stay out of controversy or something.

Actually believes this though.
Screech's Godson
UMD Class of 2014! GO TERPS!!!
Sure.
But to say something like this, which ignores the actual facts, is reprehensible. Strasburg isn’t allowed to say suck it up because the staff won’t let him. And now he’s saying something contradicting it.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Dibble is a dick and prig ... plain and simple ...
He has it tatoo’ed on both arms to prove it … its why Piniella and he had that fight.
If you can dump on the greaseman for his comments you can let this turkey go …
replace him with Casey’s father any ex-Senator? Not this half-assed screwed up
son of Marge Schott.

Not yet...
…but on life support. I think he starts at AAA, but it’s hard to see how he gets back into the mix. He needs to learn another position besides 1st base and he doesn’t seem to have the tools.

A 21/22 Year Old at AA with average stats is not a lost cause.
Screech's Godson
UMD Class of 2014! GO TERPS!!!
He's 22.
But it’s a concern that he appears to have peaked in Potomac last year and he’s fallen off some at Potomac. He’s got to have an OPS significantly north of .800 to make it in the bigs at 1B. Right now he’s decreased since last year and is at .785 or so.

should say...
…fallen off at Harrisburg.

But to say he is a lost cause(Non-Prospect) is definately wrong.
He is still our best 1B prospect.

I wouldn't call his stats avearge
But even if they were, for a first baseman with lighted defensive skills, and for a guy with as much minor league time as he has, I’d say he’s got almost no chance to make it as a major leaguer

simply because grizzy happens to like a player means that I cannot offer a negative opinion on him. You all were talking about Marrero, I gave my two cents then Garrett Mock somehow became part of the discussion.

I didn't mean to be dismissive.
Grizzy has his guys. He’s a fan first and a realist second. I respect that he’s fan and I hope you’ll realize that you’re arguing with a fan.
FWIW, this one started out with a “Marrero, lost cause” comment. Then grizzy’s going to defend his guys to the death. I was just trying to call attention to a rare Marrero HR in his godawful slump. I wasn’t trying to start another battle. And I wanted to try to stop another battle. Get mad at me. Grizzy’s a young adult and a fan first. It’s up to him to choose when he’s going to open his mind or not.

Marrero's a grizzy guy.
Assessments of Marrero at this point are kind of in the eye of the beholder. You can say that he’d be in the IL at age 22-23 and that he’s young enough to improve. Or you can say that we’ve gotten a good enough look at his ceiling to give up on him as a prospect. Given the utter lack of 1B prospects at AAA, he should get a chance to see if he can build on this at Syracuse next year. Moore’s old for his level at Potomac and needs to be in Harrisburg next year.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Moore should definately be in AA next year.

Checkin' Just got back from my old hometown of Philly and watched the Giants/Phillies game. If you want to see how a stadium should be built (for the fans, not the condos), and see the spirit of a winning city visit the Phillies.
They have a management that knows what their doing!
I guess I say all of that because right now, the Nats look horrible in every category. What the hell goes with this team? It’s DEAD!!!! No spirit. No hustle. No excitement. At least at RFK, ,the old ballpark, the team was composed of aging vets, and a manager who argued once in awhile to perk the boys up. This team has lots of people going through the motions, including the coaches! For anybody who loves and knows baseball, this team is extremely painful to watch right now. Jason Marquis pitch hitting? When was the last time you saw your supposed, star starting pitcher pitch hitting in the 5th inning. God this is awful!
I’ll make another one of my painful, pessimistic predictions. If things don’t perk up soon the Nats will be playing before less than 15,000 a game in September. I mean without Strasburg what is left?
Since when is Marquis considered a Star Pitcher? LOL
