| Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER |
Jayson Werth has been a late scratch from the Nats' lineup with no reason provided. Davey Johnson said before the game Werth had been seeing a specialist for a variety of things, but that his hamstring was okay.
"No, I think he’s alright there. I think he’s fine," Johnson said.
We'll see what he has for us after the game.
On the hill for the Rockies is RHP Jhoulys Chacin (5-3, 4.26). He gave up two earned runs on seven hits in five innings on June 11 against the Nats.
Stay tuned for updates throughout the game...

12:27 p.m. -- The Nats got one man on with a one-out double by Anthony Rendon, but Zim and LaRoche promptly flew out to end the inning. Rendon's double was another nice piece of hitting from the rookie, an opposite field line drive into the gap in right center field. Chacin needed just 12 pitches to get through the frame.
12:33 p.m. -- 1-2-3 for Haren in the second, he needed only 11 pitches. He is at 37 after two with the game still at 3-0.
12:45 p.m. -- The Nats got another runner on base with a Bernadina walk, but again came away with nothing. After Desmond struck out to start the inning, Lombo and Solano lined out to end it. Chacin is at 31 pitches (18 strikes) after two.
12:51 p.m. -- Haren put in another quick inning, using just 13 pitches to retire LeMahieu, Gonzalez, and Cuddyer. He is at 50 total pitches through three today and is up next to hit.
1:02 p.m. -- Just like they did in their previous two innings, the Nats got a runner on but couldn't get anything going after. This time it was Span who singled to right field with one out. He actually got to second as well on a wild pitch by Chacin. But two subsequent outs by Rendon and Zimmerman ended the frame. It's still 3-0 Rockies.
1:14 p.m. -- A hit batter and two runs later and Dan Haren is done for the day. Ross Ohlendorf in to pitch. Nats fans let Haren hear it with loud boos as he walked to the dugout.
1:25 p.m. -- Add another earned run to Haren's final line as Ohlendorf allowed an RBI single to LeMahieuh. That's six earned for Haren on the day. LeMahieu, by the way, is 6-for-10 with a homer and 4 RBI in this series.
1:33 p.m. -- No real life on offense for the Nats to report on. They once again got a runner on, but couldn't do anything with it. LaRoche singled to lead off the inning but was followed by a Desmond pop out and a Bernadina GIDP. Chacin through four now with 59 pitches thrown.
1:42 p.m. -- A crisp inning for Ohlendorf who may be auditioning for Haren's next start here. Still 6-0 Rockies as we move to the bottom of the fifth.
1:47 p.m. -- The Nats' 7-8-9 hitters go down in order in the bottom of the fifth and it's still a 6-0 game. Ohlendorf has been solid the last few innings, but Washington needs to get something going soon on offense. Chacin is rolling at 70 pitches through five.
1:57 p.m. -- Ohlendorf still looking good as he gets through the sixth after allowing just one hit. Rutledge singled with one out, but Chacin lined out to Rendon who threw to first for the double play. On to the bottom of the sixth we go.
2:04 p.m. -- The Nats got the leadoff runner on with a Span single, but Rendon then grounded into a double play. A Zimmerman strikeout later and we're headed to the seventh.
2:21 p.m. -- At this point, I might as well just copy and paste. The Nats again got one runner on base and again could not do anything with it. This time it was Desmond who singled with one out and saw two quick outs to end the inning. Eighth inning up next and it's been 6-0 for a while.
2:36 p.m. -- 7-0 now as Ohlendorf gives up a solo homer to Nolan Arenado. 1-2-3 for the Nats' lineup and Fernando Abad is in to pitch the top of the ninth.
2:55 p.m. -- Zim hit a solo homer in the ninth, but the Nats fall 7-1. Back to .500 at 37-37.

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 233 of 233 Newer› Newest»The real question is just who is the worst Nats pitcher of all time, Haren or Wang?
Truth be known, i booed Espi too, but since lower salary softer boos.
not yet, come on guys.
Haren is worse. Wang has a 2.74 ERA for the Blue Jays this year. Of course. (only 2 starts though)
See You Later! (Tomorrow)
Wang has only pitched 14 innings, but his stats last year were quite similar to Haren's with an even higher ERA. I don't remember him getting boo'ed. Despised, yes. Boo'ed, no.
Well Wang didn't get the leash that Haren has gotten. And iirc, Det saved Wang's ass a few times.
I'd much prefer Ohlendorf as our 5th starter to Haren. He might not be amazing or a big name, but he can keep games close which is all you can really ask for out of a #5.
Last 7 rotation around the batting ordet Span or Rendon got a hit 5 times, the 2 havent both got a hit.
Rendon hit the ball hard twice after Span hits but right at people.
Put together hits please.
Actually, the worst pitcher in Nats history is definitely Daniel Cabrera. After that, it is Dan Haren and then Wang.
They're saving all their hits for tomorrow, MNF.
I have come to the conclusion that this teams hitting woes are not just a slump; they are a chronic problem. Even in the 2-1 victory last night, the Nats had only 5 hits in 28 at bats. The Ugly Face Of The Franchise is the biggest culprit. His once promising career is morphing into oblivion.
Batters 6-8
.177
.223
.133
Our replacement players for injuries are not good enough.
Lets score. 7 in the 8th
I wonder what Livan is up to....
Worst Nats pitch of all time.....Henry Rodriguez and he got more rope than any of the other pathetic names mentioned.
Well we just need about 6 bloops and a bomb. Doable right?
Is Eck still coaching? Havent seen him on bench
They showed him earlier, MNF.
Both teams missing their best hitters. Rockies have a numberin hovering .300 only one under ,.250.
We have 3 way under .250.
My worst:
1. D-Cab
2. Wanger
3. Haren
4. Speignor
5. Bacsik
But No. 3 is rising every time he takes the ball.
Didnt see him, was hoping he was optioned to Syracuse.
Ray knight coming around.
Ray has been laying into Haren lately.
No shutout at least.
Typical Zimmerman, getting a dinger when the game is over!
Zim's first 3 at bats men on (first 2 a guy on second).
Then comes up bases empty and homers.
Go figure.
Ray Knight says of Haren: "There's got to be a change, and a change quickly"
When you shovel that through the BS-o-meter translator, it comes out:
"Ohlmendorf is now the No. 5 starter. Haren is long relief and mop-up."
How is that "typical Zimmerman." This is the first HR he's hit this year when the game was out of hand.
There are a whole lot of teams who would love to have Ryan Zimmerman. *waits for someone to suggest trading him*
Based on the HROD-meter and Espi-meter, Haren going nowhere.
Ray Knight, "You can't give aay a day.
Sooooo, what to do with Mr Haren. DL? bullpen? Syracuse? Pink Slip? Or throw him out there again in 5 days. send your votes to Manassas Nats Fan
