How many times have we seen this when Cordero's blown a save? But I think Manny and Ryan are doing a good job of keeping this in perspective. Ryan's played a lot of innings and they're working with him on his footwork, but Manny's not inclined to panic after one or two bad outings from Ryan, or anyone else. (See Logan, Nook after June 23.) <BR/><BR/>Actually, I think there may be more of a need for some psychology/perspective for the starting pitcher. Chico sounded a little bit down on himself in the post game comments. I think it's natural to remember and want back the pitches that result in runs, and I think Chico wouldn't want to be critical of his teammates (even if they did look like Charlie Brown's All Stars.) But I hope he's getting to a mindset that allows him to assess his pitching (which wasn't bad) realistically, say that it was just a very strange night behind him, and look forward to his next outing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-46743759395076615372007-09-09T18:13:00.000-04:002007-09-09T18:13:00.000-04:00Zim is the franchise.The reason why he is so speci...Zim is the franchise.<BR/><BR/>The reason why he is so special to this franchise in particular is because he is from Va Beach and a UVA boy. He is Virginia all the way which makes him even more the FRANCHISE!<BR/><BR/>He is our best player all around and he also gives back to the community. The type of guy many franchises would love to get their hands on.<BR/><BR/>JimBo needs to get him so more $$$ real soon, hes in the one guy I dont ever want to see in another uniform besides the Curly W right, white, and blue!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28676208.post-19679008800844975992007-09-09T18:07:00.000-04:002007-09-09T18:07:00.000-04:00You mention that Ryan Zimmerman is fortunate to be...You mention that Ryan Zimmerman is fortunate to be playing in Washington rather than New York, and specifically the Yankees. (Although Mets fans too can be unmerciful.) I wonder if the pressure of playing in the Bronx led to Chuck Knoblauch completely losing the ability to throw to first base. Hopefully, Ryan will get over the "yips" and this will not be a problem for him.<BR/><BR/>64 wins. Our magic number to 72 is now 8Edward J.
