He was bad last year too though. He’s hitting a ton of soft, ground balls. His metrics are not good. I hope this sparks him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then Robles should return at some point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has a nasty slider/splitter today. Reminds me of a LH JZNN - Parker is a bit bigger. 7IP 3H 0R 8K 0BB w/ 57 strikes in 73 pitches. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 [Zuckerman]:Mitchell Parker is the first National in club history to throw 7 or more scoreless innings on fewer than 80 pitches. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Great to win a few series in a row. Parker has been very impressive. Hopefully that continues and he's so good, you can't remove him from the rotation. While a low pressure AB. Senzel needed that HR. He'd been pretty woeful at the plate. Garcia had another nice day with a few RBIs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I’d like to get Ruiz more DH work when he gets back. I really like Riley Adams and I’m curious how much better Ruiz could be at the plate if he caught less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Also, I'm starting to get really excited for the Nats. Pitching was still a huge potential gap for the rebuild but if guys like Irvin and Parker can both turn into decent rotation pieces, suddenly you've got a lot of wiggle room with Cavalli coming back (as well as the potential to add a FA top of the rotation arm when we are ready to really compete). I also suspect we will see Wood and Crews later this year. Winker will make a nice trade piece at the deadline and will clear the way for Wood. Crews might be a Sept call up and get some good playing time the last few weeks of the season. I think both will be opening day starters for us next year. It's happening! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After not going after Hoskins, I was hoping they’d carry a third catcher and have Ruiz DH and Adams play 1B some. Keep them from getting run ragged behind the plate. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early metrics too show Ruiz has improved considerably, defensively (SSS caveat attached). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a complete moron and a wierdo, but I'd over look that if Alonso was hitting 45 bombs on Half Street. With Wood and Crews likely this year, House likely next year. Ciolek taking a different approach to the draft, lets break out of this scrap heap off-seasons and go get some good players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
