Zimmermann wanted to come back out. Davey said afterwards that he probably shouldn't have let him. Morse shouldn't have struck out. Zimmerman shouldn't have hit into a DP, etc. The team lost this game, Davey included. Now let's come back tonight and win.

Clearly if the idea is to limit JZ's innings and to shut him down at approximately 160, the reason you are doing that is to save wear and tear on his not-yet-fully-up-to-snuff arm. Well, this is toward the end of the road, so you should be pulling him SOONER, not LATER. If you want to get to 162, let him pitch a few innings in relief. (Is he going on the DL? I don't know exactly what the rules are, but I think it has to be a new injury for him to go on the DL.) <br /><br />Also, I think Davey doesn't agree with the 160-inning limit on JZ. He thinks he knows better than the powers-that-be... And 160 is pretty arbitrary, no doubt. <br /><br />However, after the walk, he did have a "teachable moment" [terrible term] in that JZ blew his cool in Chicago after a miscue, and he does need to keep it together when something bad happens, namely the walk on the ump's "bad" call (I didn't see it, but assume it was).<br /><br />Unfortunately, this was a repeat performance, so Davey ended up pulling JZ anyway, and who knows if the lesson is learned???? <br /><br />Davey had a plan for the game (JZ pitching seven and Clip coming in the 8th with a lead or at the very least, a tie). But he didn't have a <i>good</i> plan and he didn't have a backup plan. <br /><br />On the offense, no suprise. But you have to give credit to Kennedy, an excellent pitcher who got out of jams, and their bullpen. Sometimes you just lose games.NatsLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06814911056080758503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-38080465266658694952011-08-23T23:29:59.081-04:002011-08-23T23:29:59.081-04:00NatsLady said...

Bases loaded, one out. Couldn't score a run. That, plus Johnson really doesn't know his pitching staff (really? leave a gassed JZimm out in the 7th to leave pitches in the middle of the plate?). What kind of brain fart is that?<br />The truth is, the Nats are a mediocre team. As long as Nix, Cora, Bixler, Ankiel are on this team, they will be mediocre. I'm hoping they get to .500 this year. It will be a successful year if they do.<br />I will be disappointed with every loss as I Luv a Winner. This game could have been won. Three games back of .500.<br />I don't care about the playoffs.
