I watched the whole game and after the Nats QUIT 3-0, I took a deep breath, followed Coach SJM's advice and said to myself, "I'm going to go take a nap, when I wake up, if the money is on the table, I know I have a partner, if not, I know I don't" oops, no I said I will not post until tomorrow.<br />So, its Tuesday....out scored 21-4 in back to back games. Of which one of the teams, sucks (Padres). <br /><br />It is not the fact Nats lost to Giants, its the fact that they showed NO HEART or GUTS in trying to score even 1 freakin run!! Duke SUCKS, and the fact he is on this roster makes me question Devey's sanity. <br /><br />I hate to post this, but folks, last season, the NATS never lost 2 back to back games by these kinda scores. This season is over, i will enjoy watching young talent, which I hope may be the few pieces the team needs in 2014. I think this club will lose 85 games this season<br /><br />shame on every player last night for NO EFFORTmickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829941762393424812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-41875203043736480592013-05-21T03:30:51.438-04:002013-05-21T03:30:51.438-04:003 hits?

He was a huge part of last year's overall team chemistry. You cannot put a price tag on that. This year's team seems to lack heart, fight and mojo. They seem to have zero confidence in coming from behind. Not saying that Morse would cure everything that ails this team, but his loss is much, much more than just the loss of our best power hitter.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298664841407890156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-9969322091807183152013-05-21T02:12:17.264-04:002013-05-21T02:12:17.264-04:00Ryan Mattheus broke his hand hitting his locker af...Ryan Mattheus broke his hand hitting his locker after Sunday's game.<br /><br />...ffs.<br /><br />Maya is presumably temporary because of the strain on Duke and Stammen as long men, I'd guess, and will maybe be replaced once Detwiler returns to the rotation (oh please let that go well) with another outfielder. Maybe Eury again, if Werth isn't ready by the time Det is.<br /><br />The overuse of Henry the last few days lead me to suspect they're looking to create a reason to DL him - he's thrown 68 pitches in 2 days, which is crazy. They may bring someone up like Eric Davis after that if so.<br /><br />As for Morse: the Nats got a good value for him. They went for pitching and defense, but anticipated everyone would hit roughly to their career average (better for Harper, perhaps) and they'd end up with at least a league-average offense, which would be fine with great pitching. That hasn't happened, but that doesn't mean the moves were necessarily the worst idea. Every decision is a gamble, even the decision to keep things the same.EmDashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244048896547770295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-5819827096635339592013-05-21T01:42:46.772-04:002013-05-21T01:42:46.772-04:00do1teach1 - Remember it was Davey who was literall...do1teach1 - Remember it was Davey who was literally begging ALR to re-sign with the Nats, knowing full well that it would mean the loss of Mike Morse. My God, Davey humiliated himself with his comments to ALR during the off-season. So, I have absolutely ZERO sympathy for Davey right now. He as much as threw Mike Morse under the bus with the comments he made. Now, we're all having to live with the consequences of the Nats foolish off-season decisions that led to Morse's trade for which we got virtually NOTHING of real value in return.

However as much as I miss Mike Morse I also think the absence of Jayson Werth is having a similar impact.<br /><br />I think the team is exhibiting good effort in the field, but when it comes to mindset, they're on auto-pilot. Almost like zombies. Davey doesn't seem to be putting a whole lot of thought or ingenuity into his choices, and the result is they are a lot less fun to watch because it looks like they aren't having a lot of fun themselves.<br /><br />Time to inject this team with some life in the clubhouse.

They have no fight, no heart, no mojo and apparently no big hitters. I saw them lose in April 9-0 and was worried then but what I saw. They were just going through the motions. Something has drastically changed in the clubhouse and I think a huge piece of the puzzle is the loss of Mike Morse. Not only was he our biggest bat, but he was a great teammate and clubhouse presence. Rizzo's moves to get Span and resign ALR left Mike with no home. Thanks, Rizzo, for trading away our biggest power hitter for virtually nothing. This team could sorely use his big bat and his big heart right about now.Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09298664841407890156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-61053508860742884672013-05-21T00:43:33.106-04:002013-05-21T00:43:33.106-04:00do1teach1 said...
