That was a great recap of Friday's game. I see winning just around the corner. It seems the Nats are just a few pieces from being respectable. I think W. Harris is one of those pieces. Why a regular spot can't be found for him I don't understand. All he does is whatever the team asks.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008794061060263572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-85630178148620424582009-07-04T11:45:18.508-04:002009-07-04T11:45:18.508-04:00NatsGuy: I didn't know that, but their site co...NatsGuy: I didn't know that, but their site comes up when I click on it.<br /><br />Jeremy: Yes, I saw that, but also Ryan Langerhans has played two terrific games with Seattle, one at Yankee Stadium and another at Fenway Park last night--scoring the eventual winning. Small sample size, but we are happy that he is getting a chance.Screech's Best Friendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01094199653375184305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-77944330435506501222009-07-04T11:30:36.982-04:002009-07-04T11:30:36.982-04:00You see Gascanrahan's numbers for the Pirates ...You see Gascanrahan's numbers for the Pirates last night? 1 inning pitched, three hits, two runs.

Somebody who can make some outs that are NOT so easy. Somebody who knows that the leadoff position is not the place for a hacker. Somebody who not only tries to steal bases, but can actually succeed. <br /><br />He may not be the second coming of Ricky Henderson, but I sincerely hope this will be the first of many games for Nyjer Morgan in a Washington Nationals uniform.Edward J.

The Washington pitchers threw 186 pitches in total, 103 for strikes -- roughly 55%. The Atlanta pitchers threw 167 pitches, 100 for strikes -- roughly 60%. Obviously the Atlanta batters were going deeper into counts, but how would the game have changed if Washington pitchers, as a group, had better "plate discipline" (i.e. control, 1st pitch strikes) of their own?janetnoreply@blogger.com
