Wire Taps: Nationals need to figure out order; Adam Lind, Clint Robinson compete for bench spot; Tanner Roark to stay with Team USA

Catch up on the last 24 hours in Nationals news before you find out that the Nats and Mets game this afternoon isn't available on either the TV or the radio... follow the box score? What year is this?

Is it possible for Bryce Harper to be called up to Team USA, like now? Asking for a friend.

Here's the latest from West Palm.

Nats have a potentially loaded offense, but need to figure out who bats where first
If Adam Eaton was a righty, things would be pretty simple for Dusty Baker. Unfortunately for him, he's a lefty, which really complicates things for Dusty Baker.

Derek Norris officially released
The Nats officially parted ways with the catcher for the second time in his career, and yet again, Norris did not see regular season action.

Adam Lind, Clint Robinson, and their awkward dance for a bench spot
Adam Lind and Clint Robinson are realistically competing for the same roster spot. Lind will likely get it, but the Nats aren't exactly sure yet. What should happen?

Tanner Roark will remain with Team USA for a few more days
Roark struggled in his first outing with Team USA, but will stay with the American squad while they attempt to secure a spot in the championship round of the tournament.

How can the Nats get to 100 wins?
Trea Turner, Adam Eaton, and Adam Lind all have to come through to make it happen, but there is a realistic-ish way for the Nats to get to 100 wins.
