Hurrah for these guys producing the way they did. I had seen Dunn was out...but if I'd known Zim was out too, I'd have said it was the astros game. So glad I was wrong, I laughed out loud at the " show of hands...". Also at the idea that the Lerners would or should bring in Frank as president. Which made N. Cognito's remark even funnier.<br />I'm so g,ad Morse is doing so well, and that Danny has turned a corner. <br />Go Nats!

Since Danny's addition I am not as much worried about infield defense as outfield. Morse has played some good baseball all season long. Nice clutch hitting lately, good show of power, and everything. But with him and Hammer as part of our OF, I would be worried about our defense on daily basis. Another issue would be speed on base paths. Only Bernie is capable of providing us with 30+ steals. I don't think Morse is fast enough to be a threat and neither Hammer.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong. The matches like today's make me wish also that we would see a completely 'home grown' (not really, Bernie was FA, and Hammer and Morse came via trade) OF that can produce everyday at the big level.

He isn't that great and never does anything clutch wise.<br />I feel that Morse can replace Dunn at first, give us better fielding and better all around hitting. Yes he will have 25 less homeruns but will give us something that Dunn hasn't given, consistency <br /><br />I am really surprised that it took the Nationals so long to realize his worth.

Exactly right: in the absence of Capps, you go with the guy who has more MLB mileage. <br /><br />How many sports writers/columnists thought "Not exactly closer duties here" every time Rivera relieved in the 8th inning during his debut year?
