Nats pitching yielded ZERO earned runs in two straight games. The Zona offense is just as awful. If the Nats had gone with this lineup on Tuesday, they would have won. Dropping Pena and Bernadina for Casto and Harris was addition by subtraction both offensively and defensively. It's a winnable series, but it may come down to who makes the most mistakes. I like this lineup (alternating LoDuca and Flores.) Flores needs to get back on track, but at least LoDuca has some decent at bats. Neither he or a slumping Flores hurts like having Wily Mo and Bernadina in the lineup. I kind of like the idea of the two sharing some time with Flores coming in on a double switch to be the defense in later innings to make sure he gets regular time, while LoDuca sees some consistent action (just not at 1B). LoDuca at least has a track record of success and could be dealt for something.
