K for Kearms

You know if the Lizard goes 7 IP + 2nite and gets a Win

Do you yank Williams outta the rotation when Milton comes back????

hmmmmmmm

I wish we'd disown Williams altogether and go with Belisle and Lizard til Milton comes back.

It must be your assessment of his stuff, because major league scouts have assessed his stuff as being possibly good enough to be a good major league pitcher.

He has average stuff, but above average control.

With experience, he could be a viable back of the rotation starter.

There are many, many good major league starters with average stuff.

Location. Location. Location.

The guy gave up 150 hits in 131 innings in Louisville last year. He has allowed a hit per inning throughout his minor league career. He's too hittable.

I highly doubt he will ever amount to much in the majors.

I know I'm a little late to complain about the lineup, but this is pretty much an everyday thing. Why does Narron bat EE 6th??........and behind SH??? What more does the kid have to do to get the respect of being able to hit 5th
and give Kearns a little bit of protection.....jmho.

This is actually one of the times I haven't really had any complaints w/ the lineup.

He's in his first season as an everyday regular, and he's producing from the spot. I'm very comfortable where he's at right now -- opportunity without a lot of the pressure.

Was Babe sleeping?

inning over

I'm not complaining about tonight's lineup per se, but I just don't know why we keep hitting EE in the 6th hole in general, and are backing up our big bats with the Aurillas and Hattiburghs of the world.

No - Kearns was drafted out of High School - so unless his HS has been renamed he did not play at UK

[Cant Touch This]

Personally, I think the Nats announcers have a legit beef. Maybe not all of those pitches should be called strikes, but there have been a couple that I thought for certain would be called strikes. For sure, there have been worse pitches called strikes that I've seen this year.

I also agree that if he isn't calling the corners, both pitchers are in for a long day. Livan has to serve meatballs. At least the lizard seems to have some more pop on his pitches. Nats got lucky with Dunn's GIDP.
