• Washington Nationals' Skipper Jim Riggleman phoned in to the Sirius/XM MLB Network Radio show "First Pitch" with Rob Dibble and Jim Memolo this morning, and Mr. Riggleman discussed what the Nats are doing to get their sputtering offense going:
Jim Riggleman: "You know, it's no secret, we think that we're a better offense club than what we've shown. You tinker with the lineup a little bit, now and then we move [Cristian] Guzman around or we switch three and four with [Adam] Dunn and [Ryan] Zimmerman every now and then, but the lineup is pretty much what it is. We think it should be more productive but for whatever reason, everybody's individual numbers are for the most part OK, but collectively we just havent' made it work."
