(AP Photo/ Gail Burton. You'd be smiling, too, if you played in the AL East but still got to play the Nationals six times a year.) "Tonight, those guys that got into those situations [Ronnie Belliard and Austin Kearns], they've been struggling all year. So that was kind of convenient for them. The main thing is, we've got to take a step back and revisit the hitting approach we're having." (Manny Acta, via Washington Times, 6/28/2009) Peter Angelos must be loving this! Orioles 6, Nationals 3: DFA Ronnie Belliard and Austin Kearns, immediately. Meanwhile... Stammen to the bullpen. Really? And what's with the Nyjer Morgan talk? Didn't the Nats learn their lesson with Nook Logan? Isn't Morgan pretty much Nook Logan minus the HGH? But then, there's this, too, from Bill Ladson's blog: The Nationals have been unhappy with their outfielders for quite some time. They ...

Nationals Insider: Determining his value

Via Washington Times  |  June 29, 2009
The Washington Nationals have a valid list of reasons why they still value Austin Kearns, and it's a list that's publicly recited almost every time Kearns' worth is questioned. These are the things about Kearns that no one will dispute: He plays hard, he plays hurt, his defense in right field is generally solid, he comes to the ballpark every day ready to work and he is one of the...

Piniella sends Bradley home in middle of game

Via The Scores Report  |  June 27, 2009
Lou Piniella has had about all he can take of outfielder Milton Bradley. Piniella told the mercurial slugger to go home Friday afternoon after Bradley threw his helmet and went after a water cooler following a fly out in the top of the sixth inning of the Cubs game against the crosstown rival White Sox. Piniella [...]

Milton Bradley is a piece of what?

Via Full of Sports  |  June 28, 2009

Piniella apologizes to Bradley for sending him home in middle of game

Via The Scores Report  |  June 29, 2009

The Washington Nationals would kill for an offense like these teams have. Hell, so would a few NFL teams The Lake Elsinore Storm and High Desert Mavericks combined for 51 runs and 57 hits in a California League game Sunday, won 33-18 by the Storm. Lake Elsinore is a single-A affiliate of the San Diego Padres. Felix Carrasco drove [...]

Detwiler keeps it up, Nats get beaten down

Via Washington Times  |  June 27, 2009
BALTIMORE | The reason the Washington Nationals followed their most encouraging nine-game stretch of the year with their worst loss of the season was one of baseball's most elementary lessons. Leave the ball up, and you'll get hit. No one expects 23-year-old starter Ross Detwiler to command the intricacies of that seemingly simple axiom every time he pitches. At this time last year...

Approaching .500

Via Baseball Musings  |  June 28, 2009
