1 for 2 with a walk tonight, OPS up to .991.  Considering he was a college draftee, have to think he's not that far from a May-June Harrisburg call up.

Vivas is horrific in the field.   Tired of seeing him out there

Should have started Jacob Young.

There's always the conflict between throwing the kitchen sink at any given game vs managing for the whole season.  I think Butera has been doing a really good job of using the whole roster and keeping everyone engaged, excited, and put in positions where they are more likely to succeed.

Millas also isn't looking all that good. Loved the last AB, but I don't think they want to add Adams back to the 40 man at this point.

With Parker throwing 40+ pitches yesterday and Schultz 35 the day before, the only low lev guy available was Ribalta. The Nats weren't using the other hi lev guys (Perez, Varland, Beeter). Not sure  you want to use Poulin after throwing  25 yesterday. They basically decided to burn Lord and rest the other 7 guys in the bullpen.

Feel like we've reached the end of the line for Ruiz. Still can't hit or play his position well, and getting killed in ABS challenges. Not sure Ford is ready, but Adams has a 1.017 OPS at Rochester and couldn't be any worse.

Because hes good and we might want a good reliever tomorrow with a lead.

Lord isn't a mop up guy. He needs to be used as a high leverage reliever.

It wasn't exactly mop up, only down 2 runs.  It was still a winnable game and he did a great job holding them down. 

Not saying they shouldn't watch his workload, and yes he's good and needs to be utilized effectively.  But now you've rested the rest of the pen so there is that benefit.

i don't see a 2-0 deficit as a mop-up situation though.

Bum can't throw strikes, but we can't take.
Gameday showed Milas fouling off 3 pitches below the zone.

CJ gets on 4 times with only one hit.
