He needs to man up and get a resolution before he leaves at the end of 2014.

NatsLady @2:22,, the "voice of reason" post of the past 24hours, IMHO.<br />Ghost, I was out for a while, but from the earlier blog, you can't seriously believe ALR, would have been able to stretch for either of Rendon's errant throws yesterday and still record the out, whether his back is hurt, or not. There is nobody who could have gotten either of them and stayed on the bag.If it had been Ryan throwing either of those throws everyone would have been howling.We have to agree to disagree on how important his play has been defensively.Joe Seamheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17000259234420985114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-75399276902873367932013-04-29T15:43:18.094-04:002013-04-29T15:43:18.094-04:00'scuse me if this was already mentioned, but E...'scuse me if this was already mentioned, but ESPN debuts an hour-long film on Harper ("Bryce Begins") at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday (hat tip Sports Bog). natsfan1ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14540238101124316529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-6875075849664497152013-04-29T15:33:53.861-04:002013-04-29T15:33:53.861-04:00Wonk, I thought we made some solid contact off of ...Wonk, I thought we made some solid contact off of him and his K totals including ALR's Ks who is in a terrible slump right now.

No way to know if the league will figure him out or not, but Detwiler's got pretty much the same pitching strategy and he's had a fair amount of success.EmDashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05244048896547770295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-46548020825219156662013-04-29T14:30:00.736-04:002013-04-29T14:30:00.736-04:00Faraz Shaikh said...

That's no better than batting practice and maybe worse. He's not a rookie just learning his stroke or getting to see different types of pitches (which he wouldn't see much of in A-ball anyway.) <br /><br />If he's hurt then he needs to come out. If he's slumping then he needs to stay in, keep his D sharp and work his way out of the slump.NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-64729835331697170902013-04-29T14:16:27.093-04:002013-04-29T14:16:27.093-04:00[I]the dude from Duck Dynasty plus some blonde wom...[I]the dude from Duck Dynasty plus some blonde woman[/I]<br /><br />Was this meant to be a joke?
