In dot com. Welcome back to Redskins lunch box full complement the play. A nice and what about. You believe you're fully recovered to -- This is that the Redskins not so much second straight off the right there are now at 500 at some. You know they're allowed to -- has felt this well obviously it meant developer in the quarter we've got to bladder problem that the team we felt we had -- guardians should keep all competing in the corner all the penalty. That -- is that -- question and I want you here. We'll get this thing going and let's break the -- So the Redskins lose 3725. At Detroit went back. But we're forgoing the -- I'm not too upset about it. Game because it's exactly the thing we knew we had to mediocre team is -- -- be the game going to be entertaining. That we will ride this one out -- -- yet. This is the thing that's so this out of the house is looking for next year. With a bunch of old guys is that you guys and you pass up the line up all I've got to read -- you guys need these acts. -- -- First item -- of the game. -- start but certainly the ten penalties killed drives extended drive -- But lines we -- -- -- points out that this case goes into the whole thing coach yet we can't we got -- team -- never disciplined too often or eighteen on third down we cannot stay on the field are often if you look at we can't you drives alive and keep our defense back on the field. How we expect to fourteen and I don't. Penalties than those in the. Rallied to fourteen on third downs but averaged over ten yards -- third down ago. Because of penalties had they not only -- at best call or worst call I've worked on my babies are waiting in the one. You know that's that's easily I think the two extra points let go of the two point conversion it was still early in the fourth quarter there's no need to take a -- off the board and it was -- it was for two field goals that that was the difference there there was no I don't know how it's gonna end up their play in the cards. Benching McNabb in the game I don't understand it out in the -- if it was a good call or a bad call it was the most shocking thing I've seen all season McNabb on the sidelines looking pretty healthy. It's sexy Rex he wanted to -- in the game I don't have outlook I think I had no idea for all of the -- or you can't. You can't get past them. Yeah what's that. -- look at which players in the second half this season that. -- Brandon banks and we have not had a return game ever doesn't mean it's probably. And if you look at a field with this whole game with all the branding we don't at all that's the -- next year. Discuss all the goal and if they Armstrong. What we have had a zero consistently wide receiver position for years dropped ball here's a guy who's developing some competence and some consistency. He he has been dropped balls but he's getting opened the early NFL that's -- is catching the ball and get on with that we haven't had every. It's your clock -- about the -- What does this say about McNabb possibility of an extension after getting pulled the team back. Here. The world does not come back here at Schuettler come back here we get any worse they'll that we are. Some. Of it was important. You don't say they'll. Clearly it's not that them. O line Neitzel worked in the third. I don't. I would wanna play here before it's like -- that it is day this. You collegiate quarterback even if we only the -- Audio. Slide. Art -- and writes a world. -- -- Hernandez. Yeah and opened on you doubt that last one that last and definitely my heart goes off my activated. -- earlier Kosier. I mean oh and coming off. -- lost our discipline -- I doubt about it. Coach we. We won -- to be here for the segment but we really think he had the cardiovascular dirt to make it the 32 spot. Mean is there anything more important than cardiovascular endurance. No personal here's some pretty tough for me to start off questions -- some tough questions. Well yeah it's it's tough questions -- -- asked you a lot of tough questions and always sort of an end and threw everything you've done this year you've you've never been honest to -- alive. Lives in the truth you know that truth why did you play in the lied to us through this whole interview in without question. He's being but that means the -- he basically a lot of before it gets them -- -- decide. In the -- what's the where does the confidence in Rex Grossman come from a -- of all guys some took to put in the last two minutes -- the -- with not a great resume who. Who were you talking to. The gives -- so too much confidence in Rex Grossman. I gotta go my conversation and other people that I did talk to some people. I'm not gonna go through you know collect talked to. Superior terrier you talk to Spurrier. It will be its next week coach maybe -- were people that that the -- with the -- Are this is the time when we call every fire because we talk about the next week upon -- opponent -- -- vacation Phillips called friendly fire and day. What's the first thing you think of one of the 2010 Washington it. On the -- -- true or not I think honestly I think that 2009 -- -- I mean it was just. -- he Ol Artis hicks wanted to stay at their abilities watch the guy go by. You look at -- Rex Grossman when he got -- on is just open field all day last year. And these that this is that within the building that is -- that here. His ability benefited from report for we -- forward all of life here we are got -- forwards that we've beaten some good team. Lost game maybe didn't think we should have lost. But there's not -- Steelers schedule that. It's not capable of beating us I think -- the same you can say -- we have no idea then hit it entertaining and here's the deal -- -- halfway through the season. While the in the NFC the NFC for for absolutely no we make noise probably not but as for the for the NC made the playoffs. To do it and I mean you start with these injuries start to mount a little bit cool he's banged up we see our office and who is not the game. Not good. We don't have a murderer's row that we've had everything here that aren't I think and the answer this question for you -- -- -- out on the field right now can you see them heading in the right. Not let it straight and we're -- -- -- little letter you know I just just. So I didn't wanna see more youth on both -- does -- we criticized zorn for taking forever to change the roster their flock to their style. -- expediting the process and get rid of that but it he's letting it is doing -- it stopgap measures with with older players to fill fill all the holes but. But he's absolutely building nucleus of guys who player. Maybe you do not turn over next season what -- like when it was odd but I -- -- tell -- about how low deficit in the building under overhaul again next year. We're not overhaul he's getting -- pieces that don't want to brought in the theater in we we -- Joey Galloway. -- thirty you're going to die of natural causes reported he figured -- all round started there you know. Guard that always and that's our friendly fire time to. For war halfway through the season. By right smack in the middle out with you revisit our season. It. You start with seven non -- All right and it's what you think needs to go six and threw. To right on as they go right at tough. In that it's it's it's it's likely succeed and -- think what I'm for cat -- battle that is what can you believe that. If you validate you'll lose I need to debate it would've been the life as we don't want to get. You would it would it wasn't there some other it. That worked out well I hit it this week next week with the after the by enjoy your time off. Enjoyed talking about Shanahan rated.

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.
