Cahill is particularly bad against lefties is why Ankiel is batting 3rd and his third game is too soon to put Harper there.

They didn't move Harper up in the batting order like many of us suggested.

or desmond down

this is retarted.  why the freak is ankiel third?  Harper should be batting third and ankiel should be benched for moore.

I want the benches to clear this weekend.

Just saw this on the crawl on "The Rundown" on MLBN:

Yeah, I don't remember specifics, but didn't they start throwing at us?

Davey will use Tyler Moore off the bench as a pitch hitter. "There are a lot of players ahead of him we need to get going." #Nats

:? Like Xavier Nady and Rick Ankiel? Makes no freaking sense.

As I recall it they hit us at least 3 different times, and we only hit them once, and even that was by accident (though since it came last, the ump ejected whoever it was that was pitching.  I think it was someone with control issues, to boot)

Awesome GDT. crappy lineup. Desmond/Lombo/Ankiel doesn't cut it for 123.

They should just send Moore back to AAA if they plan to play Nady over him.

My twitter feed is exploding with Bryce Harper BP news. Apparently he's putting on quite a show.

yep, what's the point of bringing him up to pinch hit? Let him get regular abs in AAA if you think he's worse than Nady

it doesn't take a genius to figure that moore is a better hitter than ankiel, derosa, and nady.  unfreakingbelievable

I think it was something that built over the series.  Upton was hit earlier in the series.  But on that Sunday game (which was one of my favorites of the year), they hit Werth (which, IIRC was hit 3 times that weekend) and the benches were warned..  http://mlb.mlb.com/video/play.jsp?content_id=15585263&topic_id=&c_id=mlb&tcid=vpp_copy_15585263&v=3

Marquis hit Upton in the 6th in a 1-0 game and was kicked out.  Can't find a link of that play but it is in the game rundown. http://washington.nationals.mlb.com/mlb/gameday/index.jsp?gid=2011_06_05_wasmlb_arimlb_1&mode=wrap&c_id=mlb#gid=2011_06_05_wasmlb_arimlb_1&mode=video

Espinosa was hit and the pitcher and Gibby were hit and Knight was on fire!

he does have a nice swing if you ignore pitch selection and contact
