Fister probably could have finished this game.

Definitely.

what a joke. Harper hits the blast to make the game close and then they stop scoring and the bullpen gives 2 runs right back.

What a pathetic excuse for a baseball team.

Anything less would be uncivilized.

I"ve been keeping track of Bryce late and close plate appearances and he's been getting PA's late in games but the bullpen has given up so many runs that it's no longer close.

No one is locking anything in. Zimmerman is regressing in recent days and striking out on everything. Werth and Rendon are so far gone they may as well take the rest of the season off.
The lineup that played tonight kept us in 1st place. freak the other guys. Werth and Zim are on the decline and it is only going to get worse. I agree with Rendon playing more, but he's just as lost as the other two.

We should just worry about ourselves like Rendon said, cause they don't seem to be worry about winning games anyway.
You guys are missing the point.  The point is that the constant days off are exactly WHY they aren't locking in.  Another case of Williams putting players in positions where it is next to impossible for them to succeed.

We couldn't even beat crappy ass Cain and Vogelsong. That is really sad. Had Strasburg and Scherzer on the mound and still lost both.

I am going to make this vow right now.  I'm not watching another game until Matt Williams gets fired.  The level of incompetence from him is just getting impossible to watch.

seriously, how can Scherzer freak us like this? Needed him against the Rockies and today and he came up empty both times despite the offense scoring runs. Just absurd.

I can't see this team making the playoffs and if they miss it then there should be lots of changes.

Fister, Span, Zimmermann, and Desmond will all be gone.  Three of those guys have vastly underperformed expectations this season whether due to injury or otherwise and one has somewhat underperformed expectations.  Addition by subtraction?

That is the kind of crap I'm talking about.  Matt should know splits that us fans can pull up on B-R and Fangraphs.

No. Zimmermann has not been great but there is no one close to his level that can replace him. Same with Span. Taylor just isn't good enough yet. Desmond is not great but can we really expect Turner to produce right away?

Two of them are ones I'd want to keep instead of the incredibly expensive slackers we will have instead.

Max is getting a hard time for his contract, but you want to resign Zimmermann?

I think expecting Turner to produce better than Desmond is reasonable given how awful Desi has been this season.  Span is a speedster on the wrong side of 30 who has been injured most of this season.  How did that work out for Michael Bourn?  Agreed on Zimmermann but I think a rotation of Scherzer, Strasburg, Gonzalez, Ross, and Roark has a good chance to be better than this year's rotation if everyone can stay healthy.  I think Roark's struggles are largely due to the fact that it's impossible to wear as many hats as he has been forced to this year in the bigs and succeed at any of those roles.  This has been proven time and again.

Rizzo will make a move. I've watched his work. He's a tough guy who doesn't accept baloney. Right now, the bullpen, the hitting, and the starting pitchers (except for Strasburg, maybe Gio, and maybe Ross) are baloney.

Rizzo will not tolerate this. Old man Lerner wants a World Series. He has the money and he runs things. His memory goes back to Joe Cronin, Goose Goslin, and the Old Fox, Clark Griffith. Old man Lerner might not be as base-ball smart as the Old Fox, and neither is Rizzo, but the Lerners the have money that Griff did not.

There will be changes...don't know what, but the Lerners are not cheap, and Mr. Lerner does not have many years left to wait for his World Series. Heck, Mr. Lerner grew up watching Buddy Lerner, pound-for-pound one of the toughest ballplayers ever. (That's from George Case II, CF who played on teams with Myer).

My Dad was almost Mr. Lerner's age. I know how that generation thought. A few of us lived and died for the 1955 - 1960 Senators / Nats. I'm getting old, to my surprise, and mean -- also to my surprise...used to be pleased with a .500 or so Nationals. No longer.

Mark this: when Welch, who saw his first game in 1964, who saw many games in 1959, who cheered the 1960 team -- when I've lost patience than the Nats have to change -- a lot.

Romo's slider has been real good. He has a 4 ERA

And throws a 75 MPH slider.... serious... Only pitch he threw...

I haven't been watching for a while, and I watched nearly every game last year. I blame whoever is responsible for playing Zimmerman.
