Please let Pudge catch Peacock in New York, maybe a Milone start too. Utilize your bench Davy, his talent is more than a pinch-hitter just like using Bixler for speed. It won't hurt Flores or Ramos to lose a start for a couple of games.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-48288024549327455072011-09-11T02:05:23.507-04:002011-09-11T02:05:23.507-04:00Great call by the Nats.

It would also be nice to see Lombardozzi get the first couple of major league hits under his belt.lesatcscnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-81155990634866650062011-09-10T19:22:40.405-04:002011-09-10T19:22:40.405-04:00Sunderland, that is hilarious.

Perhaps the most remarkable Nats farmhand from a statistical standpoint was the 2/3rds of a season turned in by Hagerstown reliever Chris Manno. I am a casual fan rather than an expert observer and realize that low A stats should not be given too much weight. On occasion, however, a player's stats are so impressive that they make you scratch your head and Manno's qualified here. He's continued to be very solid as he's moved up to Advanced A level in the Reds organization (31 K's in 17 innings and a .71 WHIP). Overall, he allowed 26 hits in 60.1 innings in 2011. I hope that this seemingly insignificant deal involving a 22-year-old reliever does not come to be regretted by Nats fans.Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3442809928829881676.post-38504075246718230192011-09-10T18:05:34.962-04:002011-09-10T18:05:34.962-04:00I think it's time for Wang to give up a start ...I think it's time for Wang to give up a start - we are just not seeing anything new from him at this point. He appears to have hit the level of play where he is going to stay for now. Having been a very vocal critic of the manager, I am glad to see the course reversed on Peacock.baseballswaminoreply@blogger.com
