2015 Washington Nationals Thread - Hot Stove News: Daniel Murphy signed, Phillips is an idiot.

[TheGoodBits]

You know, if Matt was so adamant about not being able to get the game in, why throw Gio?

Because there was a game starting that he had prepared 5 days for?

What we're the other options?

[CRobi21]

Hope players that were iffy today (Bryce, Span, Yuni) are full go tomorrow and we put a spanking on those morons.

Another home run and a stolen base today for Nationals CF Victor Robles in the GCL. That's gonna happen a lot. Jump on the bandwagon now.

No, no. No logic must be used when blindly bashing Matt Williams.

#pirates have DFA'd Jose Tabata Chris Volstad also packing his things. Gorkys Hernandez on his way here. One other move coming.

[skinfan2k]

A lot of nats fans here. Nats park north!

Bryce in the lineup for game 1

[Slateman]

Danny with the pop up bunt.

[StillUnknown]

early test for Bryce's hammy, he looked fine running out that double

[CRobi21]

Idk. Looked a little gimpy to me.

[Slateman]

Idk. Looked a little gimpy to me.

Yes, yes he did.

Did Strasburg not learn about covering bases?

[StillUnknown]

the shift was on, probably not something they practice often

[Mufumonk]

Yes, yes he did.

That's the LF responsibility on that shift. He would be coming towards the ball unlike the pitcher who is moving away from it.

[Slateman]

Dan just missed that one

Uh ... no. The pitcher is the closest position player to third base. It's his job to cover third.

grooves a fastball to a guy  who has spent 10+ years in the big leagues being a fastball only hitter.

[Riggo#44]

You can set your watch to this. Stras gives up a run; Slateman complains.

Uh...no. The LF is supposed to break for the bag on a throw to 2nd. The pitcher has to backup up any throw that is coming in from the outfield. On that play is backing up the middle of the field. That's how it's coached at every level of play.

*Slateman wakes up, Slateman complains

And raves about every player that's not a Nat.

[queso87]

I'm getting a Mat Latos vibe off Correia right now. Hopefully I'm wrong and they figure him out soon. 

[Slateman]

*Slateman wakes up, Slateman complains 

It's called ****ing. Get it right.

 

Complaining implies that I expect something to be done about it

Just another 4+ ERA pitcher who doesn't strike out anyone, simply owning Nationals hitters.

Robinson has really been a good pickup. I hope he can stay locked in like this on the bench. Need a good pinch hitter.

Uggla with the hustle

[Forehead]

Does anyone else think Clint Robinson looks like Liev Schreiber?

[Slateman]

Julio Franco would have made that play.

[StillUnknown]

missed opportunity there

[Slateman]

Espinosa lshould pitch.

And Strasburg may have found his change

Clint has to catch that. Cmon man.
