Exactly what Haren needs. He'll be good tonight.

pretty impressive to be 11-1 while posting a 9.00 era

that might be possible for an Angels starter if their lineup ever starts hitting.

Harper and Span sitting?  Davey has given up already!

I hate how Davey tries to get everyone on the roster to contribute, including providing opportunities.

The more I think about it, I dont mind this so much.  Harper's been struggling, so maybe it's best to sit him and let Moore - who's coming off a good night at the plate - get in again.

[sportsfan882]

Interesting, let's hope this lineup works out. Slap in the face to the Marlins who will surely be motivated tonight.

[terpfan417]

Good God that Marlins lineup is UUUUUUGLY.

Don't really get sitting Span, particularly since his replacement is also a lefty. Have no problem with giving Harper a day to clear his head though. Let's see if Moore can keep his bat hot.

[zimm_da_kid]

our lineup is still far better than the marlins.  Good game to rest the regulars in.

[sportsfan882]

Yeah, I see no reason to sit Span unless he was feeling bad or injured.

Not thrilled with Shark in the two hole but I guess it makes sense not to move someone else around. I think Lombo may have been the better idea for there though.

[mmzznnxx]

I hope Solano gets the start tomorrow so Suzuki has a little rest for the Mets who at the least are better than Miami.

Interesting to have Span and Harper sitting. Let's get the win.

also, the marlins are hot garbage

[Tokeydog]

Would rather see Lombo lead off in this lineup and the shark hit seventh.

Better watch out.  The Marlins are putting out their big bats tonight.

Sounds like a perfect night to skip

Harper and Span each out of #Nats lineup with flu like symptoms. With Espinosa (hand) still out, they've got 2-man bench tonight.

The Marlins are trying to sabotage our team.  Scum.

[zimm_da_kid]

i'm hoping for a Strasburg PH appearance.

NatsAddict!!! How have you been?

[BigMeech]

Haren better go the distance tonight.

Oh well.  I have my 50% off Papa John's pizza ready for delivery around 7:00 PM and I hope to not choke on it because of Haren's crapeness.

Davey went around asking pitchers if they can play outfield in emergency. Consensus was that Stammen is best choice.
