Prince Fielder...en fuego. Two more homers tonight.

Atlanta hasn't scored a run in 22 consecutive innings. Luckily they get Manny Parra tomorrow night. Parra gave up 10 runs to the Marlins in his last start and has the worst walk rate in the league. Considering that and the fact that the second coming of Cy Young is debuting tomorrow, it's safe to say I'm happy the Crew got the series win tonight.

lol @ Nationals complete game last night. Don't think I've ever been to a game where their starter goes 6+. I think everyone really needs to understand just how bad their pitching is. They are like 13-39 and top 5 guys are batting over .320.

Guess Smoltz tore it up in his minor league start yesterday - still don't know what the Red Sox are going to do when they bring him up though. They would have 6 starting pitchers and I can't see any of them going to the pen other than Wakefield maybe? Wakefield's been pitching pretty well though...

Clay Buchholz has been lighting it up in the minors too recently, got some pitching options here. Wonder if they will make a move for a slugger w/ one of the pitchers if Ortiz continues to struggle (hit a HR but it was the shortest one I've ever seen - like 300 feet) Could go shortstop rental too, like a Wilson from the Pirates depending on how long Lowrie is going to be out for. Nick Green & Julio Lugo are both awful on defense right now, so many errors.

Livan Hernandez has been great...admittedly his turns through the rotation seemingly always come up against bad teams, but still...good stuff. Glad they salvaged the series against the Nationals but still, 2-4 road trip against the Bucs and Nats, eek.

For the most part, their schedule up until the AS break now is pretty brutal:

3 vs. PHI
3 @ NYY
3 @ BAL
3 vs. TB
4 vs. STL
3 vs. NYY
3 @ MIL
1 @ PIT
3 @ PHI
3 vs. LAD
3 vs. CIN

And they'll be without Reyes for the majority of that stretch. Going .500 through those games would be pretty good as long as they can win the games they SHOULD win down the stretch, unlike the last two years.

Bryce Harper's only a sophomore, I thought, so the Nats will have to tank next season, too. Of course, it's entirely possible they'll suck that long.

Adam Dunn has more home runs than the Nationals have wins. Think he can do it for the entire season? 55 or so should do it, right?

The Nationals are gonna draft this guy Strasburg who is supposed to be one of those incredible ready-in-two-years Tim Lincecum kind of guys. The thing is Scott Boras is gonna demand 50 million dollars for him and the Nationals won't be able their pick, again.

Yeah that's what I'm thinking too, but the guy came up with a ton of hype and then didn't deliever so I get caught wondering if he's finally fitting the bill... my 3B is hitting .189 or something awful like that.

Every game at Yankee Stadium has had at least one HR this year. I dunno, even some of the ones that are hit far and would probably be out at most stadiums distance wise look like they are just flicked out to right field. Although I'm not sure if any HR is gonna beat Teixeira's broken bat one the other week.

Looking forward to the Boston series. Definitely a different team than the last time they faced.

Burnett and Sabathia will hold their own.

Wang is the question mark. Last year he took the Red Sox out behind Fenway and made them dig graves. Damn good ball game, too.

Yeah, remember that game. Hopefully he gets on track and pitches decent. Obviously a good chance he will get bombed though.

Who's pitching for the Sox in the series?

If MLB teams were able to trade draft picks, how much do you think the Nationals could get for the #1 pick this year?

The MLB draft is so fucking enormous...I'm sure a team with 2 or 3 first rounders would flip all those plus second, third, and a shitload of lower picks for a guy like Strasburg.

I'm talking players, though. Do you trade your top prospect and/or rising star for him?

Strasburg's good, but I stick with what I know I have in my prospects/young players. There's really no such thing as a pitching prospect -- so many little things can go wrong along the way that could ruin a career (injuries, off-field problems, bad results in the minors, loss of control, etc.). If you're trading multiple draft picks, then it might be worth the gamble because the MLB draft is the biggest crapshoot in sports and you at least know Strasburg should be a serviceable compared to others in his draft class.

For Strasburg's sake I just hope the Nationals don't go nuts trying to push him through the system and have him throw tons of pitches in what are essentially meaningless ball games. I've seen the argument that he could possibly pitch in the majors as soon as this year, but that'd just be ridiculously stupid on their part. For a franchise like Washington that has to keep an eye on how they spend their money, you can't start his arby clock months after getting him. You look at what Tampa did with David Price and you follow that to a fucking t.

Red Sox rushed Craig Hensen through the system a few years ago and that didn't work out very well. Pretty sure he pitched in the majors the same year he was drafted

It is more common with college pitchers, but usually if a guy is pitching in the majors less than a calendar year after he's drafted it's in a relief role. Andrew Miller was pitching for Detroit in September of the year he was drafted, but I believe that's because it was written into his contract that Detroit was forced to bring him up (not surprisingly Miller's a Boras guy).

The Nationals could take that route with Strasburg, waiting to call him up until September when they wouldn't have to worry about his arby clock starting, and then send him back down to the minors to start next year. It'd be a decent way to see how he fares against big league pitching, not to mention it might actually get people to the ballpark if they think there's a chance they could see the franchise's savior on any given day.

Keeping Scott Boras away from the rookies and placing a limit on their salaries would be probably a big benefit to teams. The poor Nats suck and this is only going to make them better one start out of four or five at the best of points unless they trade him for a lot down the road. Taking $50 million from them isn't going to make them better, nor is it going to make this dude happy while he is wasting a potential (judging by all the hype haven't personally seen any of the guys work) HOF career for one of, if not the, worst teams in the sport.

Although if he can come in to work the 8th and 9th most nights they might be a lot better off because I can't count the number of games they have lost this season in those 2 innings alone.

Yeah Craig Hansen was a Boras guy as well.

Ortiz hit another homer tonight, hopefully his bat will finally wake up - has a 7 game hitting streak going right now.
