No comparison.<br />3B: Advantage Orioles, even after Zimm's heroics last night. I wonder what % of people on this board would swap Zimm for Machado right now? Would be a fun poll question.<br />DH: LaRoche beats their DH.<br />SS: I take Desi over Hardy.<br />LF: McLouth huge advantage over T-Mo. <br />1B: Chad Tracy vs Chris Davis. Hilarious.<br />C: Wieters over Suzuki, without question.<br />2B: Espi is playing. Enough said.<br /><br />Note on leadoffs: McLouth, their leadoff, has 17 steals with one CS; Span, our leadoff, has 6 steals with 3 CS.<br /><br />Holding runners: 19 men have attempted steals against Wieters and he nailed 10 of them. 40 men have attempted steals against Ramos and Suzuki and they nailed 5, repeat FIVE, of them.<br /><br />The last two points--on McLouth and holding runners--means that, essentially, a walk or single against the Nationals is equal to a double, because stealing is so easy against our pitchers.<br /><br />We are highly unlikely to win tonight's game. But if Haren can keep the Orioles from reaching base tonight, we'll be okay.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-80583113981868251752013-05-30T21:50:55.931-04:002013-05-30T21:50:55.931-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.Joe Seamheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000259234420985114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-81625269385858118172013-05-30T21:48:09.073-04:002013-05-30T21:48:09.073-04:00So called Danny 'defensive' Kspinosa error...So called Danny 'defensive' Kspinosa errors in tight situation two games in a low. <br />Time to call your cable provider to cancel your plan to minimum package because we not gonna need MASN anymore, probably after this weekend.<br />Stay away from anywhere near the NatStadium, this coaching staff have no idea how to manage game without the MLB's worst hitter who's name is Kspinosa(he's elligible for disabled parking permit), how to teach pitchers when they should pay attention to baserunner(it won't be improved forever), how to teach batters strategical approach depends on the situation(consuming pitch counts, making compact contact to hit the ball behind the runners when runners on), how to teach 21 years old rookie left-fielder to adjust the right field of the stadium where he never played before.<br />It's not the injuries, the way how to cope with the bad situation and the way how they fix the <br />"Known Problems".<br />Hey Davey, Bust or World Series?<br /> <br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590449975658375549noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-7689797782282238892013-05-30T21:46:50.025-04:002013-05-30T21:46:50.025-04:00It's apparent that Davey and Rizzo assembled a...It's apparent that Davey and Rizzo assembled a non contender. Or the coaching is lacking Or both. In any case, the Nats are going nowhere this year. Looks like the glory days lasted one year and now it's done. Oh well. The Nats, clearly, are not a good team. No matter what Boz at the Post wants people to believe, this is not a winner by any means.Almazar80https://www.blogger.com/profile/16570768453457970262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-45995218052934365262013-05-30T21:37:00.390-04:002013-05-30T21:37:00.390-04:00Knoxville Nat to be fair he did say "or bust...Knoxville Nat to be fair he did say "or bust"<br /><br />lolmickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11829941762393424812noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-92105204537136413522013-05-30T21:34:38.986-04:002013-05-30T21:34:38.986-04:00A third of the way through the season and I can...A third of the way through the season and I can't get over how underperforming this team is. For all the hype given to the Nationals this year, including the "world Series or bust" line, this team is just very difficult to watch. So many deficiencies, so many mental mistakes and no sign of corrective actions or change coming from the Rizzo/Johnson team.
