-- -- -- Everybody welcomed the Redskins once bought him a hard fought through. And walking him perform important and I made it through Kennedy -- up in the did not know he did not -- -- hampering injuries pre game that he's not. Bringing in Yankee Mike Jenkins. He's now he's with the -- Redskins on funky never done this before. Well like hire who played -- -- We persevere what breakfast. Redskins improved to five and five on the season. What. Thought what. I don't know what make this team -- What's up down down at whatever favorite flavor of the wind we lose whatever Chandler for. Were both killed by it wouldn't either but what make this thing for me it's tougher -- -- lot -- I was impressed I was impressed with their heart and I'm not wanna say that but after that audience. Thought to be a situation with the Redskins not useful in this game wrapped. We got embarrassed they're done. Instead they fought and they used a lot of determination especially models and theological and animosities. -- like it and. -- the key to victory. I think of the Titans again Nolan will penalize feelings and again they kept us in the game without hole -- time they got 31 downs written and I think. Think agreement. Jeff Fisher. Jeff Fisher was the key not putting Vince Young back in the game. A guy who is what 26 and nine all time for the Titans got a lot of games down -- in statements and -- from -- Atlantic who was awful and with those penalties -- were running Chris Johnson. Chest hair and forms that never wins thanks again. It into the face -- On. It and what's the status in the game of the stat of the game. So again I think it's. Forty minutes. The Redskins have the time of possession. Anytime you have the ball that long and should not only win the game you're going to be -- -- and with although to finally had in the horrible defense they had this year I think that the. Rusty Smith quarterback rating of ninety. Again. If Jeff Fisher puts. Anyone. Instantly related it's that you want about how and I agree he should -- did throw a touchdown rust I'd nineteen quarterback rating. I asked umps apartment and and a quarterback should not be Rust Belt. A ball to go. All the injuries in this one and a lot. -- -- -- 'cause I mean the -- -- line has not been good anyway. And when you lose a guy like that are being your current guys played pretty well prepared guys that. I reluctantly -- the whole year has -- just I 95 right down the middle guards don't help but. And I think one of the biggest injuries. In the way of thought that I mean fairly porous is one of our best blockers allowed him. Blockers but he didn't play it to me making all his in the Al wild -- me think -- Portis ms. the last several games came in brought the ball five times and left you can't say reporters Lockett -- pretty good and it. Now want to rob somebody has the slot and that motive and and in -- violent -- it's. It's all done I'll get the best call of the game. I think you Shanahan adjustment playbook for right now instead if you allow more than short throws -- just what is that he makes plays in the field. Shanahan finally adjusting to a player's strength. Graham you know going back to the second time it would be easy to make eagle for a report not -- Ingraham you know because we -- trust -- As the good times in the clutch. For better Hillary's real punitive. Same sort of player with a game and he couldn't even make that attempt early in the game from this and that he was short they use you know what is. This is not distance on the golf -- what makes right and in an up and that's the most ridiculous thing I've heard about this golf. I. Don't read enough. -- -- on TV right now that is harder or more typical to figure out a lot more. A good thing for you all the George Lopez show. -- don't know how it on the air and Mike Jenkins the 1 o'clock show on the active. -- It -- and you can only -- high rate right. -- -- -- -- Welcome back to rent -- on my whole different thing. On this week with candy out the ninth he knows it to break for a we've done. Who wanted to talk about -- And asked him. -- That. -- there people. -- us very popular himself but also but it -- you know wrestled them Libya for awhile. If that -- create. Stories. -- The it was really -- great interview and got off slightly and nobody and nobody would happen to them on there. -- -- -- -- Zero interviewed friends -- last week's and on and having to do. With a good view. If you go wrong for its move threaten that you. Well actually just about ten minutes ago I haven't been outside the fourth. A public park and I think we know McNabb -- not like open up much won't hear about to hear the best one word answers for the -- like everybody. What's more annoying the traffic for the media NBC. Even. If you go one question. With the million us in the rest delightful that it. -- good fit and visit a couple of months. It's. Visits series took a second life insurance when you found out injuries over the line. -- next up for the -- Redskins the Minnesota Vikings. Brand new interim head coach Leslie Frazier. Brett Favre on the go with something to think when you think of Minnesota. They've Brett Favre. Because Brett Favre like. I think you're watching the game that's. That sees it another. Yeah pretty short term memory of all the games in the sort of that's. The back when I think of printing off walking off the sidelines for the Redskins game. So there's no you know what they did it again against the Titans in the -- -- Twitter at you behind them -- he walks out. Moss is on Tennessee. Look the other way for the whining about Minnesota I think about hockey. But we learned we learned early this week that Favre will play. What do we do it in this. I mean we look at a unit of the cal with of of their own that they get another coach Jason Garrett has that been playing like unbelievable. So you know these players it lost to the very -- blocker. These guys would expect that I think well played hard -- on has been nothing only it was actually gotten has been -- that's so. With me sort of and we'll probably -- to to -- I grade JJ Allen has been at this. Point for the Vikings as a lot of players but you never know how a team is going to react. -- have to bounce between play for the new head coach also going to pretty much out. Who knows what anything I've met you that you have some weapons. Right to your eyes but that person apartment. Adrian Peterson review some guys to do. Absolutely I thought Chris Johnson I predict who went over three yards still a watchful and I have no idea how it is not public can contain them. And we look at her Phil Hartman we would it be by receivers goes and gets shredded every week I feel I feel of the program. Not going to be part of -- He calmly. And that he -- that -- but -- that last week. Noise tease he received apartment ice team. They could be effort -- gave -- to -- -- -- -- like four or not. And don't do well. Mobile quarterback one of in his but the north of for the future for that reason that they are about the -- averages of like 55 years always why not to have him play. I was just wondering what to do and that's. So what are we gonna do we're gonna figure out who's gonna win this game you. Pretty good lately now yeah. To me was up and down like this is a game I think the reds and win and for that reason I think -- from the opposite on the goalie Ken Mandel route. Predictor of victory I think I think. This is gonna cost you so it was exactly the principal got into the off an -- I think is wrong thing to do the opposite. If that I think the -- and going to end when he for. Them. -- I think the Redskins are gonna win this week I agree that you don't know what to expect this team from week to week if you try to come up with some sort of well thought out reasoning as to either going to win I'm just going with the with the thought that like he's going to be a bit down because all the turmoil that -- for. Residential part maybe an -- road this week but. It. -- Team next week. Check out CS in Washington dot com.

Bryce Harper historically struggles in San FranCsnwashington.com. Bryce Harper that San Francisco is one of his favorite places to play. That may be the case but he's struggled a hit there so far in his young career has won 43 batting average at AT&T park is his third worst. At any ballpark in baseball. Joining me now as I and that's insider mark Zuckerman mark let's start with Bryce Harper how important. Is his presence to the line up right now. It's really important cordoning. Do that often struggles they've had a lot of it is attributable. Being out mall adjacent worked out people at the two of them in the to get there once in the last eighteen. Harper the most productive hitter. The loss of work an injury has been just as beaten. Good and giving it it is of course the collective one teaching. With the 200 spot for an awful and not put anybody on base for. We're in there and broke him right in. Absolutely but one guy who hasn't been struggling right now as Adam LaRoche what's been his secret to his recent six sacks. Well you know if this goes back to a little especially with chipper Jones and Atlanta at the beginning of the former rival but also former teammate as it is when he played Chipper knows his swing started he stepped it up with a deep in Houston and it but until with a career high hitting streak. I think I the pressure off and for awhile is looking just to go the opposite he is. The last few days he seemed to turn a ball and really get to that just you know. And the right that huge difference that it was going in there and going to do you know. As long to get harper back it'll be quarter but it can be used to edge. CSN Washington dot com.

Beltway Baseball: Why Strasburg will be just fineCSN Washington dot com. Are welcomed the beltway baseball here on CSN Washington dot com on chase Hughes and mark Zuckerman. And mark we've been through a month and a few weeks or overly down here. And the nationals as a team having kinda inconsistent but one thing that is really travelling fans and people around league starting to notice is it consistency of Stephen Strasburg. The numbers aren't that far off from what we've seen but it anyone who's watched him over the last few years and tell maybe there's something something a little bit off he's having trouble finding the strike zone. What do you make of the situation and do you think it is that they concern yeah I mean the thing is like you said the numbers don't look. It that far off feeds the pitching. for big league pitcher but he set such a high bar for so we've come to expect so much. Patted him it just doesn't quite look like what you expected the biggest thing is fastball command. You know he's not. Throwing strikes getting ahead in the count. The way it did it was so amazing about him as a rookie when he came back originally from the Tommy John surgery was the fact that. He could be a power pitcher while still having excellent coming that deadly combination. Just not quite there yet. Curve balls still excellent still excellent. I think you're seeing signs of improvement I think he's getting there but he still working on to think that it's mechanical mostly. And they they seem to determine and it's not physical it's mormons and you can see it on the on the field he's the body language that. He's impatient he gets frustrates easily and this just a matter of him being such a perfectionist. He's not used to not being great. He's used to being great not just good right exactly and I think that's that next step and take if he's really gonna become an ace of the World Series contender. It's about hey it doesn't matter what happens behind him Doesn't matter what run support I the umpire and I'm gonna go out I'm gonna beat no matter We're seeing there and do that right now I think it's time for Strasburg if he really wants to become an elite. Top. The line pitcher. That's what he needs you now quickly another guy who's had trouble as you can also I think might be a little bit more of a concern is his command has been quite there. I think it's curve ball isn't quite as sharp as it was last year this is something that might he might work out the kinks out. But he has been pride stuff yeah I mean an more erratic certainly had some fantastic start and that's really troubling ones I think his last start Pittsburgh may have been a turning point for them. Got a huge jam in the first inning lead off home runs very first pitch then he loads the bases. Nobody out. Battle back and get out six straight after that I can almost see a little something clicked inside and minutes that. Maybe this you Ozzie admitted afterwards and younger version him would have melted there. Let it spiral out control. That might be assigned an comes back next time that made it a big turning point mark let's talk about the catching situation we're moving through May and so far Davey has. Rotated kind of alternated and depending on the edge depending on the he said that at some he's gonna have to make a decision we saw over the weekend go back to back with Ramos. At some point. Maybe you and you think we're gonna see him go with the primary catcher I think so maybe not a true number one in the and a guy you know catching you know once or twice a week and I think he does. Number one wanna play the hot hand whoever it is. I think he hopes its problems he understands that everyone understands. That Wilson Ramos has higher ceilings and Kurt Suzuki put the whole package together offensively defensively he can do more so I think you're gonna start to see that. It Suzuki gets hot they'll play obviously. I think the preference be for to ultimately take over. I went into the numbers last week how the pitching staff has done with Suzuki and For some reason everybody but you done way better with over the past few seasons in their career ERA is. Are better with him in their career marks I don't I don't know I can't tell you why that is but that's the case yeah and I the pictures all insist they'll have both guys I don't know if there even where it. Yzerman tops they had success with Suzuki and it's amazing stats that would certainly something overtime that you have to look him. Now as we're getting close to the middle of may what we take stock with the division first the Braves came out really hot out of the gate. It was it was really at the point were you thinking all right who's gonna slow him down or what's gonna slow them down they didn't seem to have a weakness whatsoever. The nationals. Meanwhile your 500. But as they're starting to get things going they're not that far behind it could be much worse at this point oh absolutely mean if the nationals. Figure that April was their worst month but that's as bad against them they're going to be all right because they hover around 500. And the rays came back to earth and what's it was gonna happen next maybe not. To this extent you're surprised by that we're gonna play 900 ball. All right I think it was twelve and when you start here to me what's interesting is all of a sudden they're closer Craig Kimbrel. Most dominant closer in baseball last year and the first month this year he's blown three saves in days yeah giving up home runs. That's. Staggered problem right there I mean who knows just a blip. Or something long term about but also without Johnny Panthers won their top. Setup men and PG beaches and come back and just came back Heyward been out for a while there. BJ Upton knocked off to a good start the play and they got a lot of weapons are they're going to be good. Long term but they may not be quite easily as we and BJ Upton has been really bad and having having gas was really early on but. he's not looking like the next Mike Capps at this point about one thing I think it's interesting as the two best guys I think in their offense have to look at the numbers today. They've been Justin Upton and Chris Johnson who of course were with the team much yeah exactly they talk on all the offseason moves it made it mentioned Johnson as much damage in the Upton Brothers that night do you think getting Freddie Freeman back to deal with me that isn't fantastic all around first baseman. The Braves are going to be fine long term this can make good race really do believe that. CSN Washington dot com.
