Props to JP for working a solid BB. He's on base. Please, Brent. Let's first and third 'em.

Morel slow out of the box

Brent heard me. Very nicely done. Let's make 'em pay.

Here comes a intentional walk.

If you're Zimmermann, I can't see how you throw a fastball anywhere near the zone.

Bad luck.

.........

Alright Dunn. For the love of everything holy, do something positive.

I gotta laugh at Alexi hitting 3rd.

Come on Dunn. Make the Nats want you back. Because a lot of Sox fans sure as hell don't want you right now.

Don't tell me were gonna end up with NADA

consistency. reliability. predictability.

That inning really turned around when Alexei couldn't get Pierre in from third.

First and third with nobody out and we don't score. But it is early. There's plenty of time to make amends. There's nothing to get discouraged about here. Like Hawk said, get Dunn and Rios going and it's a wrap. Just like we would've won it all in '04 had Maggs and Frank not gotten hurt. I truly believe this. Will be fine.

Sigh

situational hitting is not our strength

No comment.

 

Really surprised they pitched to Konerko instead of going after Dunn and Rios, but he took a solid pass at an 0-2 pitch.

 

Just can never seem to get over the hump with RISP this season.

Hitting is not our strength.

Morse is f***ing huge.

Both Morse and Zimmerman have odd batting stances....

Is there any precedence for sending a veteran like Dunn down to AAA to work it out? Just so he can get some heat off him and work on his swing?

I hope the Werth contract doesn't hamper the Natinals too much in the future. I don't want Strasburg signing with the f***ing Red Sox or Yankees...

He would have to accept and clear waivers

Former Sox farm-hands "all-star" team...seems like I'm missing someone.

 

That outfield wouldn't be bad at all, but the infield, yikes.

I really believe that they need to check his eyesight and reflexes.

 

If they can't tweak his batting stance, it's gotta be that he's just not seeing the ball right and reacting to it like he used to.
