In Hagerstown A.J. Cole was much improved in his second turn, giving up one earned run over four innings to lower his ERA to 3.52. He must be on a tight, precautionary pitch count as he stretches out.<br /><br />(Some kid named Harper extended his hitting streak to 17 games.)<br /><br />At AA, Brad Peacock moved 'em down in Richmond, striking out 14 and giving up just one walk. He's now 5-1 with a 2.13 ERA.Drew8noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-16912641906540876152011-05-14T00:56:47.006-04:002011-05-14T00:56:47.006-04:00Grats to Gene on the anthem, very good!
I'm s...Grats to Gene on the anthem, very good!<br /><br />I'm so glad someone else mentioned the song choice for the military appreciation deal. What was that? Especially given the actual lyrics (that may not be written on this blog), seems like a totally weird song to play for that moment. It's still better than God Bless the USA though. Man I hate that song. There's got to be a happy medium. <br /><br />The sound guy also messed up Werth's walk up song twice. <br /><br />Tonight was a heartbreaker, but oddly enough, I'm not really upset. We played good baseball. Werth and LaRoche stunk up the joint, but that's nothing new. Good crowd, good atmosphere, first game back after a better than expected road trip. <br /><br />Tomorrow, I'm hoping for some revenge against Sanchez. I want to walk out of the park with more than my eco-friendly tote bag.Grandstandernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-70388914474095997822011-05-14T00:39:36.337-04:002011-05-14T00:39:36.337-04:00Might be the best catch I have ever seen live.
Rea...Might be the best catch I have ever seen live.<br />Real tough loss. Probably goes untalked about but the double play by Ramirez and their secondbaseman when we had two one and no one out was also a major league play, I thought Bernadina would beat it out but they were perfect. How long do you keep Werth and LaRoche at 3/4 and to be honest, Ramos has done nothing in his last 6 games, batting ave. is now under .280 which is a huge fall from .390. We do scratch and claw and if Ramos makes that tag the game might still be going on. Important, at least for me, that we come back tomorrow and win big. I still remember last years slide from 20-15 and seriously don't want to go through something like that again.<br /><br />Go Nats<br /><br />ps: Great National Anthem Gene and when I pointed out to my son who you were he recognized you. That also means I have to be careful what I write since he reads Mark and the comments.

I was ready to give the old "good job" to Gene anyway but that was awesome! People in my section were commenting on it. Sing at more games!<br /><br />2. Why on earth did they play Cee-Lo Green's "F You" during the middle of the third to greet the troops? I cannot think of a more inappropriate song. No one around me could figure it out either.<br /><br />3. There was no noticeable Marlins cheering section at the game tonight. Every boo you heard (and there were enough) was from a Nats fan or a generic attendee.<br /><br />4. Broderick is not only wasting a spot another pitcher could use, but you could just feel the energy level disappear when he entered the game. LIke we were conceding. Even if we hold him all year, isn't this the kind of thing--putting him into games he's not prepared to succeed in--that's supposed to hurt a guys confidence and wreck him as a pitcher? How is this helpful? Is there a threshold where he performs so badly that we get rid of him, or are we stuck with him no matter what?<br /><br />Even with the loss, it was fun to see hits and Bernadina's play was one to remember. Losses like this would have been highlights last year...Ernienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-25690923403458819032011-05-13T23:47:43.082-04:002011-05-13T23:47:43.082-04:00We could have used Mr. Walkoff (Zim) tonight as th...We could have used Mr. Walkoff (Zim) tonight as there were so many chances as Michael Morse was ohhhh so close.<br /><br />Play of the night was <b>Bernadina commiting ROGGERY. </b>Andrewnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-70299253192831213342011-05-13T23:13:47.255-04:002011-05-13T23:13:47.255-04:00Bobby K. not sure why the pitchers have become lax...Bobby K. not sure why the pitchers have become lax. I am still not thrilled with the hitting as they waste a lot of down the middle pitches. I am disappointed that the pitchers have slacked off, but tomorrow is another game.

For comparison Marlins 3-4-5 wernt 5 for 14 3 runs 3 RBIs and 2 homers. <br /><br />When will Werth and LaRoche start earning their money. <br /><br />As for Ramos I remember early in Little League our coach taught us, you do a swipe tag when the ball is late, and just simply place the glove between the runner and the base if it is early. Do swipe when early. I must had a better Little League coach.
