GDT#4, 4/4/'14: Braves (Hale) @ Nationals (Zimmerman) 1:05 PM

If you listen to the media and the Nats themselves. But actual on field performance says that Zimmermann is the pitcher that carries that team.

Except the 2nd half of the past two seasons, where he ran out of gas and the struggles were documented.
 
He looked good. Considering he matched their ace frame for frame.

We've been very fortunate in our starting pitching thus far.

Just have to get a half dozen to a dozen starts out of Hale, Harang, and company until Minor and Santana are ready.
 
Really sad our rotation could've potentially been

Medlen
Minor
Teheran
Wood
Beachy

When at their best, the best rotation in baseball. We'll have to see how this year turns out.
 
I'd have Harang in the rotation, Hale to the BP.

I disagree with you as usual, Hale may be a rookie but he's the better pitcher. But given Fredi favors veterans you are likely to get your wish.

Hale should continue to do well as long as he continues to throw a sinker with as much bite it had today (along with two decent to really good off-speed pitches).
