We have no leadoff hitter.<br />2. Our catcher is out for the season.<br />3. We were too cheap to get Prince Fielder to play first base and have to start that mediocrity LaRoche instead.<br />4. Our middle infielders are completely incompetant and need to be traded RIGHT NOW!<br />5. Zimmerman is overrated and should be dropped WAY down in the lineup.<br />6. Morse will never be anywhere as good as he was last year.<br />7. We have no centerfielder at all.<br />8. Who knows when Harper will be ready, and even if they bring him up, don't expect much from a 19-year old (just look at history).<br />9. Strasburg is fragile.<br />10. We gave up way too much for Gonzalez, who walks way too many hitters.<br />11. Zimmermann is average at best.<br />12. If Jackson was any good, he wouldn't have been traded so many times.<br />13. We sent Lannan to the minors.<br />14. Our bullpen is decent, but they'll be way overworked and lose their effectiveness.<br /><br />In fact, the only thing I can figure out is that it must be because that has-been Werth is injured and not ruining the team.NCNatsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00208353346925459087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-80918694133543575612012-07-04T09:29:44.952-04:002012-07-04T09:29:44.952-04:00Also, Mark Z.

"And if we keep pitching the way we are ... I mean, it's going to be tough to beat us."</em><br /><br />Those are two huge "ifs." How often do you have <em>everyone</em> in the lineup - even the pitchers - hitting? At the moment, the "soft" spot in the lineup is, surprisingly, Harper. I noticed last night that even Flores has a higher BA than the team as a whole.<br /><br />I'll be delighted if this kind of hitting, combined with the pitching we've had, holds up the rest of the season. I'll also be amazed. Still, if they can average five runs a game for a month or two, they'll probably run away and hide from the rest of the division.Candidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02384645593063095481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-71318307214776337392012-07-04T08:40:59.283-04:002012-07-04T08:40:59.283-04:00Happy 4th NI virtual friends!

I've never been so excited and optimistic about a DC Major League team, and I go back a ways!<br />Slightly off topic, but Walter Johnson's grandson, Henry Thomas, is throwing out the first pitch Thursday night. Hank wrote "Walter Johnson Baseball's Big Train," one of the most comprehensive and complete accountings of a ballplayer"'s career ever written. I honestly believe that Johnson was the greatest pitcher to ever play the game, and this biography makes it pretty hard to dispute it. Also, did you know that he managed for seven years? In 1930 he managed Washington to a 94-60 (.610) record, only to finish in 2nd place, which was good for one 'atta boy' because only the 1st place team went to the post season.If you can find a copy of the book, I would whole heartedly recommend it to any baseball fan, especially a Nats fan.
