Game 153: I'm going to stop complaining about Detwiler

by Doghouse on Sep 20, 2011 9:46 PM EDT

He showed me: Ross Detwiler (+41.8% pitching, +8.1% hitting) throws 7.1 innings scoreless against the "A" lineup, striking out 3 and walking 1. Rosswiler also had a big RBI single to extend the lead to 2 runs in the 6th (+12.9%).
PWNAGE: Danny Espinosa (+18.2%) is 3-4 with a solo shot to get his third HR against the Filly starter this season (20th of the year) for the early lead (+11.1%)
What, you need something else? Drew Storen (+3.9%) picks up his 40th save, although the WPA gods were not impressed.

It's really kind of inconceivable that the Nats/Phillies Series are tied at 8-8

for the season so far. This feels like progress for the Nats.

Maybe next year they’ll start to solve the Fish. That would be way cool.

I’m happy/relieved to be wrong about Det.
I hope he keeps making me eat crow mixed with all my doubts…tastes just like chicken!

Exactly............

Short of a 12.00 run era next spring, he should be penciled in as the 4th starter through May 31st 2012………….

Who besides JZ and Stras is ahead of him?

I'm assuming he's thinking Wang or Lannan (gritty veteran ground-ball specialists both)

although one is an open question whether to re-sign, and the other makes certain FB contributors’ eyes bleed…

Who's this "Wang" person everyone keeps mentioning in next year's rotation?

Do the Nats have someone by that name in their minor league system?

Nats scouting C.J. Wilson

washingnats:
I was informed the #Nats are having a scout watch Rangers LHP C.J. Wilson pitch on Wednesday against the Athletics.

Wilson has a 2.97 ERA, 3.24 FIP, 3.38 xFIP over 32 starts and 215.1 innings, striking out 8.28 per nine. He’ll be a highly sought after free agent for those with lots of money to spend.
