2012-07-29 Nationals (Gonzalez) at Brewers (Rogers), 1:10 PM CDT [Brewers lose, 11-10, 11 innings. Yes, it was the bullpen]

[markedman5]

I'm so glad we are getting to see guys like Rogers, Henderson and Fiers pitch.

 

I'd much rather take my chances on guys like Rogers then paying 8 million dollars a year on guys like Randy Wolf and Suppan.

 

If Rogers throws strikes he can help us....no doubt in my mind.

[BrewerTerp]

Rogers is getting an unbelievable amount of swing/misses on his fastball.

It's just what he does. Seriously.

 

I understand why people are skeptical of prospects in general, & Mark specifically, but this guy is as legit a talent as you can get.

 

I'm sold. I hope he gets a few more starts. I'd like to see him and Thornburg in the rotation, but that doesn't work with Wolf hanging around still. This would be a fun rotation until Marcum is available:

 

Gallardo

Estrada

Fiers

Rogers

Thornburg

Livan Hernandez doing his best job to get the Nats back in the game.

Don't worry, K-Rod's warming up!

[markedman5]

Weeks looks so much better at the plate now....not diving over the plate nearly as much...going up the middle and to the opposite field more often.....great to see.

[trwi7]

Don't look now but Weeks' OPS is almost at .700. Considering it was at .609 a month ago and .584 a month and a half ago, that's pretty impressive.

[dlk9s]

I've said it before, but I really appreciate that this team still plays hard, despite the lack of success this year.

[3and2Fastball]

K-Rod putting the nails in the coffin (or maybe he's throwing more dirt on the grave!) of any last minute possibilities of trading him

[markedman5]

So much for trying to showcase KROD one more time before the deadline......

 

Sure hope we don't see him anymore after tuesday

[trwi7]

DFA K-Rod.

Second half line: .264/.361/.472/.832

 

^ That's Rickie Weeks. Glad to have him back.

[trwi7]

lulz at the cheers when Roenicke comes out of the dugout.

[trwi7]

Yeah, gonna have to kick the crap out of whoever decided to play Call Me Maybe at the game.

[markedman5]

They better not blow Rogers first major league win......man am I sick of Krod

[JohnBriggs12]

DFA K-Rod.

 

I suggested that after the Philly disaster and no one agreed with me. There is absolutely no reason to keep him around. Subjecting K Rod to a full house of paying fans is ludicrous.

This is hilarious.

[markedman5]

Brutal

[yfinn6]

Just a joke.

Anybody that ever pays more than a couple mil for a reliever is just stupid.

[And That]

Anybody that ever pays more than a couple mil for a reliever is just stupid.

 

That pretty much makes every general manager of the last 15-20 years stupid.

[markedman5]

Way to go Nori.......

[sauveb]

Back to back jack. UNBELIEVABLE.

Gomez has the HR virus right now.
