Dave is fine. Only sweat he has is the Nationals history of firing managers. Unless he’s expected to hit for players, he’s done his job.

Roark, Fedde and Rodriguez facing the Phillies, not ideal.

Harper is leading off, trying to get him five ABs per game to get him sub Mendoza during the home stand.

Good news is if you get 5 guys in the lineup to start hitting, we'd be where we need to be.

OT  Not sure why but every time I see this thread, I think:

"And take some of them green alligators and long-necked geese
Some humpty-backed camels and some chimpanzees
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born
Don't you forget my unicorn"

Harper had all kinds of nice things to say about Davey during his post game interview. Said he would walk through a wall for him, etc.

Harper at least has his media interview game together.

They have to score at least 5 runs in each game or it could be a Phillie sweep

I don't see pitchers listed for Sunday.

Nola going Saturday. He is a joy to watch pitch. Like the anti-Gio. Elfin going tonight. He has been surprisingly good this year.

I used to play in an Irish band.  If I never hear that song again it'll be too soon.   :hysterical:

Did you see the Post article from earlier this week that said that Harper is not doing the drills suggested by Long?

There’s a DJ with turntables and huge speakers in the Nationals clubhouse.

This is the latest the Nationals have been in third place since 2013.

I used huge speakers and turntables up to the late 80s and even then, CDs, etc. had begun to take over the scene.    Wonder where they found this character  ...   probably Craig's list.    Maybe dave can find a couple of hitters there as well.

Amen

It is fine to act like Joe Maddon if your Joe Maddon. Davey needs to stop and act like Davey Martinez

Long ago when I was a young buck  just entering the herd I  tried to act like the elders of the in the forest I emulated. I was never any good at it. Didn't become my best until I started just being Angelossux

Martinez said he considered having Kieboom pitch and moving Taylor to 2nd base in the 9th, but decided to let Miller finish the inning.
