Not impressed?

Well I wasn't impressed by the homer to Melky, but he's done well so far.

Wow the Mets absolutely spanked Arizona this series.

I'll give Tanaka a pass on that one. First MLB batter he faced.

Tough day for the Cubbies. Shut out twice. And MLB Network getting hot in the pants for the Yanks again.

The DBacks have been horrible this year. 0.2 fWAR as a team among their position players is the 2nd worst in baseball. 0.4 fWAR among pitchers is 5th worst in baseball. Not a very good combination.

In other news the Braves are tied or 2nd best fWAR among pitchers at 2.2 and 2nd in fWAR for position players at 3.1.

They were talking up the rotation, and to be fair, hard to disagree.

Tanaka has been a boss.

Pineda has been filthy.

Kuroda is solid.

CC is CC.

And Nova as your 5 is as good as it gets.

Thats a very solid rotation 1-5.

Seattle just successfully demonstrated how to piss a game away. What a horrible play by the SS under-handing the ball.

Point is they never pass up an opportunity.

I dont disagree, big markets get the talk and the Nats who are media darlings.

Matt Williams pulled Bryce Harper for not running out a grounder… Harper's spot came up in the 9th which was the winning run, but Kevin Frandsen grounded out

Maybe Matt will put him on the program.

gilesfan must be irate at Matty W.

 

[Heyward]

They should trade him to the Braves.

We'll give them Harang and Schafer, seems fair.

I like this idea. We need a good left-handed bat for our bench.

Washington's marketing department must be one huge brofest.
