The man definitely has good taste in headwear.

assuming they're still looking for a CF (and that's a pretty good bet), LaRoche is gone.

That would be a huge bummer, he's been on fire this season.

yeah, it doesnt look good with an already crowded outfield and morse able to play first, but i still hope it works out somehow. hes been so consistent this year, and i dont think the nats would be where they are without him.

With a dozen or so players in arbitration and a crowded outfield that places Morse probably 4th, this doesn't seem like a tough decision on LaRoche's option. Too bad you're not in the AL where keeping them both makes sense.

Fun article, I hate saying "this is our year" for any DC sports team. I've been bitten by that as a Caps fan most recently, and I think every year since I was 7 as a Redskins fan and I was at least hopeful when the Wizards made the playoffs. I'll bite my tongue for the Nats for now…

So at what point do you drop Mr. .251 in the batting order, or sit him on the bench?
Make him a bench guy and you solve the Laroche problem.

He's slumping bad. But not as bad as the entire b'more infield.
i would like to see harper sit for a while (he's out of tonights lineup, ftr) but i think he needs to play or theres no chance he'll snap out of it by september

agree. ride it out, it's the first slump of his career and he's got to get the first-hand knowledge he can snap out of it.

Quintanilla is 7-for-14 with a home run, three RBIs and four runs scored in his last three games.
.333 avg in 19 games.
Machado is 4-for-8 with 2HR, a triple and 4 RBI.
Giants couldn't field the ball for SHIT last night, it was funny and kind of sad at the same time. Then I thought about how many times I've seen the Nats look that way in the past and didn't feel bad. So much for a pitcher's duel…
Great column on the Strasburg shutdown and the Nats.
Rizzo to Stras's dad "I promised you when I was in your house trying to sign your son that I would take care of him. And I?m going to do it.?

it's like something out of a mighty ducks movie.
It's like……………………………………………..Batman
I'm thinking Harper is out of his slump.
I'll still knock on wood, good to see him get a homer at home and that monster triple. Seems like everything he was hitting was popping up or grounding straight into the defense. Maybe those few sat out starts were good for him.
trout vs. harper talk…
looks like only one of them will be playing in october this year.
