Nationals vs Rockies, Game 3

[mimontero88]

I normally hate seeing people get booed, but it doesn't really bother me right now.

Yeah I feel the same way.  A part of me feels like as a good fan you just don't boo your own players.  But in this case, the fans need to let management know how they feel about this.  It's simply gone on too long now.  Every fan base has a breaking point and frankly if you hadn't already you pretty much had to reach yours with Haren today.

Time to go to work.  Never have I been happier to have to go work on a Saturday...

Gonna miss the windup.

[ghostface]

[ajcartwright]

Dan Haren is just
another black mark on the
Nats' medical staff

Bryce Harper. He got hurt, we started losing.

[Hannibal Smith]

I guess I won't go through all the numbers that prove he's an above average 3B again.  It's pretty redundant at this point.  You're shown facts that contradict what you say and then you oppose that by repeating the thing you said that others have disproved.

I don't think we're disputing that he's and above average player.  But the face of the franchise is supposed to be a threat at the plate.  He's been very average in RBI situations lately.  Not sure why.

Have Nats fans booded anyone else before ?  That booing really annoys me.

Ohlendorf throwing gas hahaha

Werth got booed at a lot of the games I was at in 2011

[ZimW1N]

Dan Haren needs to be gone

[mimontero88]

Ohlendorf looks a little wild out of the stretch.

[GburgNatsFan]

I don't like it either. he may not be up to it any more, but he didn't put himself on the field.

Well if his funny windup helps him with his timing then that could be why.

13th out of 22 in WAR. Pretty much in the middle of the pack amongst third basemen. 9th in OPS, 21st in UZR, 13th in DRS. Sounds pretty average to me and everyone else in baseball.

Stop being soft about the fans booing a player.  What should they do?  Give Haren a golf clap for trying?

Nyjer Morgan and Jayson Werth.

Should stop going to Haren home starts

[sportsfan882]

great AB. They know how to hit. We do not.

Tacking on more runs to Haren's ERA

[ZIM4MVP]

Should stop going to Haren home starts

Nats should stop throwing him on Saturday's when most people can make it to games.

[PC]

If Dan Haren starts it's almost a certainty that we'll get blown out.

[Slateman]

Finally out of the inning

[RL04]

Bryce Harper. He got hurt, we started losing.

Record before "the wall":  21 - 17

Record after:  16 - 19

Doesn't look like a huge difference to me.

[Mathguy]

No - but silence is a perfect way to show displeasure

[BigMeech]

An even better solution would be to stop putting him out there permanently.
