While I am not on the ledge

Fukudome needs a rest for a while.

He is a fantastic $12MM defensive specialist, but to come up with men on and RISP, he is simply terrible.

If Lou truly wants to make the team better – give him some time off. He is clueless at the plate and we have three OFers that can hit, regardless of "matchup".

Disagree

I disagree with the Clueless statement. I think he’s been very slow to adapt however to MLB pitching.

Re Sutton, no he doesn’t. He was awful on TBS

Three games in a row, IIRC?

with a bona-fide, non-intentional BB

Color me impressed.

very nice.

I’ve noticed he’s been a bit more discerning at the plate. It’s good to see. He’d be ridiculous if he could cut down the strikeouts long term. I literally sudder at the thought of how scary he’d be.

I'll give up on the RSIP hitting for now.

let’s get some solo HRs this inning.

"The Cubs have been HORRIBLE with runs in scoring position"

according to my Nats broadcasters…one of which is Don Sutton…..“….and DLee is tops in the NL in grounding into DP’s” adds Sutton.

Not this time, Don…..

Watching opposing broadcasters eat their words:

Priceless.

Thanks Don

for jinxing the Nationals there.

Wasn’t Sutton one of those vaseline-ball specialists? Or am I confusing him with Gaylord Perry?

Dr Karma made a house call to the Gnats booth

he/she is always on call.

They've got the hustle

And the muscle (as Aram just proved)

I think they have the hustle and the muscle

I Liked the "Hey Hey" Throwback Graphic

During the 1948 throwback game against the Braves. Hope they stick with it!
