Minor beasting it tonight.

Mionr's got more K's than Strasburg.

Just wait until Justin is hitting behind him.

[TURBO]

From Nats board. Pretty funny.

[Garmel]

but LaStella is not exactly nailing down the leadoff spot.

Tommy is still making good contact. The hits will come. I would be more concerned if he was striking out a lot.

A little delayed but great AB by J Hey

Agree. While TLS has been struggling in terms of average since he was moved to leadoff, I think he'll adjust. He's hit some balls squarely but, unfortunately, hasn't had much to show for it. I think our lineup has a lot more potential with him ("singles machine") there vs. towards the bottom of the batting order.

[Julio3000]

LOL Strasburg.

Dude is weak..

[thethe]

TLS will be just fine people.

[Heyward]

Good AB by TLS>

[thethe]

He has such a beautiful easy swing.

[thethe]

Ugh, BJ is horrible yet again.

[Heyward]

BJ needs to move down in the order.

[USMA76]

BJ=look up "useless" in the dictionary. Can't even make contact with a runner on second and nobody out. Then Freeman pops up the first pitch smh

Need to put these guys away.

[Lville21]

Is BJ aiming to strikeout more this year than Tony Gwynn did in his career?

[Garmel]

I hope we move BJ to the 7th or 8th spot when little brother comes back.

[stpeteirish]

BJ needs to move down in the order.

you're really going out on a limb there Mr Heyward.

[stpeteirish]

I hope we move BJ to the 7th or 8th spot when little brother comes back.

why not all the way out of the order. Play Doumit in LF, Heyward in CF and Justin in RF.

[nsacpi]

Hmm...why is Varvaro not Simmons loosening up? Fredi getting the pecking order wrong here.

[Garmel]

Way to go Minor.
