Save Ramos for someone less WP-happy than Scotty O can get.

Espi is PH/2B Candidate #1 if they bring out a lefty reliever.

No he's saving him for Pittsburgh ...
a non contending team who won’t expect him to play his “veterans” … sheesh …
Its Giggleman he’s the Skipper too!
Back on Giggleman's Isle; he's the Skipper too.
Rest Zim and put in the weakest possible lineup. Don’t see how that “respects” the veterans who would actually like a chance to win this ballgame? If Nieve didn’t have to bat eighth because of his weak bat you can be sure Nyjer would still be there …
Just wanted to say hi since our teams are playing each other
Your player, Morgan, dislocated our catcher’s shoulder…so he is out for the rest of the season. Tonight we will be starting our fourth catcher of the season. Being a Marlins catcher is a cursed job.
What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
Just saw that report on Hayes' shoulder, and it made a rough play by Morgan seem even worse...
Wondering if Volstad gets tossed when he nails Morgan in first AB?

For that? Given that on the spot the Marlins reporters were sure he would've been safe sliding?
I think he gets it every time up …
Could be worst ...
A better defensive catcher, and a top MLB catching prospect (defensively more than offensively but both) languishes on the bench while Doubleswitch Riggleman plays a sub-Mendoza defensive liability behind the plate: AAA catcher Wil Nieves. And imagine having to sit there and watch helplessly as he flails against pitches, passes balls, is unable to throw out base stealers …
Not worse, sorry.
I mean, if it had put Hayes day-to-day and made him sit out today and maybe their next game, that’s one thing. But Nieves is better than a season-ending injury.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
-The Princess Bride
If Nieves got a season ending injury ... ???
and Riggleman was forced to play Ramos? Not sure but I think you would have many happy Nats fans. I hate and don’t want to wish that on anyone though …. just saying …
All I'm saying is that playing Nieves is not as bad a thing...
…As giving someone a season-ending injury.
"Inconceivable!"

PS: Do you guys really have to show that picture of our stadium?
Keep in mind that we play in a football stadium with 76,000 seats, and no one goes on Sundays. I go to 30+ games a year, and I don’t even dare go on Sundays….98 degree weather with 95% humidity is not a pleasant experience.
Can’t wait to see the Nationals playing at the new Marlins Stadium. I never miss a Rays or Nationals game over here.
I will admit our attendance can be embarrassing at times, but we do have record TV ratings.
What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
PS: In response to your signature.
Being a Nationals, Orioles, Pirates, and Indians fan at the same time. In that order of preference.
"Inconceivable!"
"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

What's more frustrating than being a Marlins and Orioles fan? Eye surgery???
Absolutely, being a Nats fan in this case is far, far worst.
Christ, if it's so hard for you why don't you turn off the TV?
You are already ruining my game-watching experience.

See comment above under Apology?
That’s probably what Riggleman is thinking … double switch Maxwell in in the 2nd or so … and instant loss.
I say charge Volstad, punk out completely....
Most anticipated pitch since Strasburg’s first?
For all the wrong reasons if it is….

If I were in charge of the Marlins,
I’d say plunk him, then pick him off first base.

Pinch run Maxwell ...
then they big-time lose and Riggs makes his apology. respecting the game, the veterans just being plain ol’ vanilla.
He's likely to get himself out somehow..
FIrst pitch is not a purpose pitch.

It looks like Willie Hayes is trying to hit Rick Vaughn, and why not, everyone else in the league does. Hayes swings and misses. I don’t know Monte, it looks like Vaughn is carrying his left a little low. This could hurt him in the later rounds.

Nyjer's had some internal history to deal with.
He hasn’t taken being moved to the bottom of the order well. He didn’t take Riggleman benching him on Sunday well. He then dislocates a guy’s soldier and seems to want to make the situation worse.
You hope the team stands up for Nyjer becasue you stick for your teammates. You hope the GM brings Nyjer into his office and reads him the riot act for behavior likely to get guys like Dunn or Zim plunked or injured.
On a desperate search for Sunshine at Nats Park. In Rizzo and Ramos we trust.
Part of the deal here is that Nyjer felt the Nats coaching staff was throwing him under the bus after the Cardinals stuff.
So it seems the coaches had to stand up for him before the players. Now what Adam Dunn was doing in that pile is beyond me. He probably just misses football.

A game like this, having the FOF out of the lineup is a good thing
Too easy a target. And I’m not kidding. I wonder if that played into Riggle’s thinking?
Come to think of it, maybe that is why he sat Zimm down.

That was fast.
Of course, it pretty much flatlined after the second, so not much to see.
