Wlad's been decent on defense so far this year so hopefully it won't hurt us

This must be my favorite lineup of the year.

Gutz at second, no Yuni, the only thing I’d change is Kenji for Rob Johnson and maybe stick Wlad at #3 and Lopez at #7. But I’m happy.

God dammnit I didn't notice Rob Johnson

Wlad at #3?

Could you guys overreact to a .375 BABIP any more?

by davidcameron on May 7, 2009 10:46 AM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I didn't say that Wlad's going to keep this up, Dave.

But from watching his at-bats, I think he’s improved to the point where Wlad, at a true talent level, at least the equal of Jose Lopez hitting-wise (even before the season, the average of Fangraphs’ projection systems for each player was about a .320 wOBA). Plus Lopez has had a poor approach at the plate generally, while Wlad has worked the count better and shown better power, so I’d give Wlad the nod. But this is all for the most marginal gains anyway, so it’s not like it matters. It would just be a message about plate discipline.

And when I say something stupid, it’s me saying it, not the LL community.

So this week's disasters has been totally an utterly Robert's fault.

He got way too giddy with a retarded facebook status, and now he is responsible for the misery of hundreds of thousands of M’s across the globe.

On the upside, if we win today, we win. Which is always nice.

On the other handed upside, if we lose and Bannister pitches well, then it’s BANNYLOG time from Joe Posnanski!

We projected a low scoring offense

We need Ic-Hero infield singles, steals and Beltre dingers. It starts today! A new day…a new way!!!

They happen when I’m around loud drunks at Pyramid. But sometimes random things set them off.

I prefer our defensive OF to Dunn in LF.

And Branyan has been a much cheaper find at 1B, so he really had no place on the team, even at the bargain price he signed for.

But still, watching his incredible, methodical, unflappable patience at the plate has been one of the few delights for a Nats fan so far.

Oh bite me.

I really only wanted an excuse to mention Razor Shines. Second awesomest baseball name ever.

First place spot goes to Urban Shocker.

Absolutely no calls above the belt.

Like all those pitches we swung at that would have resulted in a walk.

Hey when did this team pick up Ronny Cedeno?

I thought he had been traded or killed or something.

I haven’t seen Ronny for so long that I had convinced myself that he was LHB…
