Where did this '80 Power' go for Harper though? Seriously?

0-7 RISP through 3. 6 stranded runners. Grienke should have been in the showers 20 minutes ago.

Matugi · « **Reply #163:** July 20, 2013, 08:09:17 PM »

0-7 with RISP so far.

OldChelsea · « **Reply #164:** July 20, 2013, 08:09:21 PM »

Now 6 LOB, nil-for-7 with RISP...reminds me of the Houston Astros teams of the late 70's and early 80's - loaded with pitching but a 'militant refusal to hit' (as one pre-season mag of the time put it).

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #165:** July 20, 2013, 08:09:42 PM »

Nats 0/6 with RISP tonight

Team LOB: 12. Werth and Desmond with 5 a piece.

It's almost impossible to be this inept.

PC · « **Reply #167:** July 20, 2013, 08:10:21 PM »

This almost defies belief.

Based on the purported skill level of these hitters, this is the worst offense in Nationals history.

Hell, forget skill level. This is the worst offense in Nationals history.

#Nats tonite are like a bad rock band that's decided to break out its "greatest hits." 3rd inning: 1st and 2nd with 1 out _ no runs.

0 home runs in 5+ games.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #170:** July 20, 2013, 08:11:46 PM »

What's the reason for the pathetic hitting with RISP? Any ideas?

What's wrong with them? It's been 100 games and nothing is changing or improving.

Desmond looks like he is trying to hit a 6 run homer every time. Werth is trying to get walked.

The guys that actually seem to do well with runners on base are the ones who keep getting on base and being stranded there.

This lineup isn't working. Harper and Zim need to be in the spot to drive in the runs. Werth needs to be hitting second.

Per Slowes, not many empty seats tonight, and Davey Johnson T-shirts sold out quickly.

Desmond needs to be reigned in. He needs to not have a green light and to have more bunts called for him.

Of course, what that means is when you leave him on his own, he'll be even more aggressive than he normally would because it will all be pent up.
