Usually by this time in September I an following baseball on the fringes of life. This year is really a challenge. Nice problem. Cheer for the team for me - my Nats- watching will be of the DVR variety for the most part. Can Cortisone shots become an official sponsor for the Nats? - just slap a cheesy moustache on someone and make up silly commercials.baseballswamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03473384422940931212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-80345606884246538162012-09-19T02:11:37.497-04:002012-09-19T02:11:37.497-04:00I would be shocked if Chris Marrero ever plays ano...I would be shocked if Chris Marrero ever plays another game in the major leagues, much less for the Nats. First, there's ALR. Then there's Tyler Moore. Then there's Morse. Marrero absolutely cannot play any other position other than first base, and he's barely adequate there. In his stint last year, I thought the guy lacked power, was slow and was really a rather generic AAAA player. I think this list must either be a) old or b) not taken seriously. Marrero's ship has sailed. <br /><br />Anybody else still up, watching the dreaded O's?Sunshine_Bobby_Carpenter_Is_Too_Pessimistic_For_Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14778638700744221971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-31530569131719329622012-09-19T02:11:15.186-04:002012-09-19T02:11:15.186-04:00Doubt if many read this as late as it is but we ju...Doubt if many read this as late as it is but we just got back from 12 days in So. California. Great trip except for these last few days as I watched our lads stumble a bit. Really really weird to be seeing stuff in the early afternoon and actually having football on at 10 in the AM. We had full agendas so sports took a back seat but I was able to read NI and the Post so I was up to date. <br /><br />Really happy with the Braves loss and its just so funny to be rooting for one team and against another. This is totally new territory for this old fan and I just want us to win the division.<br /><br />Petco Park was nice but I could not get into the game at all. Lots of Cards fans and they are not obnoxious. Padres came back to win the game I went to but I was out of there after 5 innings as the spousal equivalent had made it clear, there were other priorities.<br /><br />OK, back to Nats Park tomorrow!! Can't wait. We need Morse hacking, Bryce running until he scores and the pitching to shut down the Dodgers.<br /><br />Go Nats!! Go Playoffs!! Score First!!<br /><br />sjm308https://www.blogger.com/profile/01236550495879254916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-73539788784729108112012-09-18T23:45:22.870-04:002012-09-18T23:45:22.870-04:00I've been slammed at work and ducking in here ...I've been slammed at work and ducking in here on occasion, so I don't know whether this has been discussed.<br /><br />On the front of the Nats' minor league page on their website, there's an interesting reappraisal of the Nats' top 20 minor league prospects.<br /><br />Beyond the royal top four -- Rendon, Meyer, Goodwin, Giolito -- I'm surprised that they still list Chris Marrero as the Nats' fifth-best prospect.
