Of course Peacock handled it fine, but why not let Henry lose it earlier instead of later?Dawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-37241298220625692612011-09-07T12:57:52.358-04:002011-09-07T12:57:52.358-04:00Ok, I heard Davey's explanation about putting ...Ok, I heard Davey's explanation about putting Peacock in and I'll buy it.

According to Byron Kerr, Peacock was unfazed by his fate, and had previously relieved in the AFL. Furthermore, it turns out that both the weather and Peacock's readiness to take the mound affected at what point he was called upon. We now return you to your regularly scheduled gloom and doom. Disclaimer: I did also wonder about the move at the time.<br /><br /> Random musing: There likely would have been second-guessing about different move(s) had Peacock started an inning clean and we'd still gone on to lose because, duh, it's the interwebz.<br /> September 7, 2011 10:52 AMnatsfan1anoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-67333700791506092852011-09-07T09:53:49.644-04:002011-09-07T09:53:49.644-04:00Need a Peacock do-over for real.

End of story.<br /><br />Agree, no reason to play Bernie (who is hurt anyway) and certainly don't need to see Nix or Gomes. Werth is practicing CF.

Opposing teams will be grateful to get some relief from those mighty swings that only generate strong winds.<br /><br />Let the kids play. The season is a write-off now and we know that several parts of the current club aren't looking like long term contributors to a future contender. What do we expect to learn about Ankiel, Bernadina, Nix, Gomes or even Werth between now and the end of the season? Marrero is already showing some promise, let's see if any of these guys is the least bit ready to contribute at the MLB level. The worst case is the Nats may lose a few more games, but learn that outside help is the only answer, at least in the short term, for next year.lesatcscnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-39871423445412292542011-09-06T22:12:18.329-04:002011-09-06T22:12:18.329-04:00They could have DFA'd half the players they re...They could have DFA'd half the players they recalled and never missed them.
