No way that pitch was a strike. Livan has this ump in his back pocket.

Dukes looks awful.

And it BEGINS...

Nationals 1
Evil Twins 0

The thrill is long gone for Livan Hernandez fantasy owners who rode the righty to a 6-1 record through May 12. He's given up 36 earned runs in his last 31.2 innings.:

That's the only way Hernandez can be effective. He has to have the umpire expand the strike zone so he can get those bullcrap strikes and force batters to swing at garbage outside the zone.

Yep. Reminds me of Glavine.

Lannan looks decent so far tonight.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #58:** June 17, 2008, 08:52:04 PM »

Nice K. Lannan has 6 groundouts through 3 innings tonight. Counting those outs, Lannan now ranks 17th in all of baseball in groundouts recorded with 148.

Lannan looks great so far. Keeping his pitch count down.

nice hit, Milledge! We need to add to our lead here.

Good way to start this inning.

Missed the first four innings, any major highlights?

Guz had a 2-out infield RBI single for the only run. Lannan is getting a lot of quick (ground) outs so far.

Nice, I see that Lo Duca got a hit already and the only run, more than I was expecting from him.

JMUalumni · « **Reply #68:** June 17, 2008, 09:02:37 PM »

That guy Casilla is mighty fast

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #69:** June 17, 2008, 09:04:28 PM »

damn, that would have been a nice catch.

JMUalumni · « **Reply #70:** June 17, 2008, 09:05:54 PM »

I can see why Lannan has gotten so many ground outs tonight, he has some real good movement on his ball this outing... better than usual

CJames0569 · « **Reply #71:** June 17, 2008, 09:05:59 PM »

Of course as soon as I turn on the game, we give up the first hit....damn

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #72:** June 17, 2008, 09:08:56 PM »

That was strike 3.

eckseid · « **Reply #73:** June 17, 2008, 09:11:17 PM »

Nice K, Lannan.

sportsfan882 · « **Reply #74:** June 17, 2008, 09:11:27 PM »

Thank you. Nice pitch, John.
