CSN Washington dot com. Dirk Nowitzki is Cyril prayers and JJ Barea getting involved -- then there's -- atrocious -- -- -- -- of the -- last game -- Mike -- and -- -- Had as many points combined as united combined. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- He's going to come a lot at least at -- I have like NBA a lot of feel like it gets. -- because it they don't play defense and some players get maligned for their inability to play defensively so if anything it -- -- her tribute to them that's. The games changing a little -- that direction. Still I guess I'd be as long as you get more done some jams like that it that it fills the need but. Talk what that last sequence that Miami game waiting to and I coach Erik Spoelstra is debatable decision. And proof that he's a rookie in this and he filed through it. Chris -- That's an inside joke we had that we have to take a shot out we have to take him but he put Chris Bosh on that was he'd clear they -- class -- what has gone. Was this clearly case again islands last. Yeah actually but to me that the bigger problem coached ball strike is when -- half and wired up and they -- -- -- and you -- after I speed and it is the -- it just can't. Both underwhelming whatever the opposite of running into a brick wall is that's what I wanna -- coach -- as a motivational thing at halftime I just a technical map. There is ended and wouldn't make -- in the huddle stuck with that. He didn't think cried last night which I think an absolute positive first let me be the first time it happened there but a harbinger of things to come maybe it's over for that well. Now and as the next question is it over for -- And -- it's not it's. I have feelings in Connecticut seven initially until he and six but now just making it competitive they came back from fifteen down. I just think there's a bit of a momentum shift both teams have won one on the road. So there's no panic button pushing -- -- Dallas right now. Yeah is long as you get the next one. They can push it back -- -- but I think minors and when the series six games because it was that -- that way for coaches of color as a writer. And she said recently in wins more better players. Or better place like he'd have more more personnel and not an announcement that. The game for dallas' Tuesday night it was -- NFL it's just you know let's get back of the room stuff your pro -- Your affect a viral stuff Plaxico Burress got rather clicked this morning about that out of a -- Drew Rosenhaus jumping into his arms but to -- -- Opera house being accurate count for much now is happy but. Now that the view of speculation is a restricted free agent 65 receiver. Would you touch and. Now he is toxic like Britney Spears he is toxic you can't touch him radioactive it's a huge problem and again. Also because the whole block out -- hot what do you do you where you you can't. Just the test maneuvers that it's gonna take you can and get your Matt wrap your mind around his availability. This is -- more toxic than Michael reckless. Yeah. I'd say I would say no I would say. One. And I Collins is that a -- Yeah and a and now you know like you're probably right I'm probably guilty of revisionist history but I would I -- this. This is more reason to me it seems he's more untouchable. Yeah I would I would say yes just from a football standpoint because. He's a guy. Who was a hand -- -- Tom Coughlin signed him fifty times and is that the Giants permissiveness this and that and this and that so. 34 years old. Has history and banged up because he's a big receiver but. And the other thing that's -- her -- -- he has to know he's going to get a one year deal he has -- -- -- shall -- vote for your -- you know contract. But he's not the only receiver out -- -- my Santana Moss Terrell Owens Chad Ochocinco. I think you can -- of the Eagles I don't play anything Emery wearing a Phillies cap because these guys were in the counts like the colors national but the Eagles have a need for a big receiver frank. And maybe the Jets to the Santonio Holmes but if the Eagles do get -- -- an island of misfit toys between him and Beck. Michael Vick is a changed man and I hope I can come up if it odd man there. While -- -- there's always going to be but if the Eagles do get plaques. Top NFC. I'd go plaques and the depth before it happens at -- like it went there because they also a huge -- -- easier if you after the Burris camp to take another shot in New York. Or do you have around to well and that's you know that's -- the Jets -- is because they know that he can survive that media market and -- he's done it before so an optional epic battles mean you're better at it again Phillies. Kind of similar package -- about New York you can tell -- What what team I would would be the Redskins I'll be just danger will Robinson. Without likelihood of the young quarterback John back. You have a locker -- in the -- anyway you're still dealing with Albert Haynesworth albatross you've still got locker room chemistry issues now situation. And help out. Note now now that. -- -- That from my -- out of this -- that typical move about five Sixers. You do -- to get him like a five year 59. Baltimore committee can hold up. I wouldn't look to -- because it is without -- -- a failed experiment and misery whose locker you can keep that -- under wraps but. NFL still locked out we'll get to that later on let's go Stanley Cup finals. Vancouver's two -- -- -- Q3 29 Boston. Obviously must win for the Bruins then yes. Can they can at least get pushed -- series back to Vancouver. The biting teach a lot of and then I am not entirely sure how I think it just made Boston played differently defensively and complete scare in the -- tight. And I think again in a sense of indignation I don't recover from and that affected. There mentality and actually tightened and locked -- ever since -- and Alex burrows has emerged because after he allegedly. Bites Patrice Bergeron all the sudden he's got a winner. Allegedly confessed that an alleged -- sleds through little all of us. Because they have children's that this is the guy killed. In game two packers' nickel and eleven seconds just a bad play by time Tim Thomas a bad play about who. City Chara here has to take him down. Does it take -- penalty and try to kill off the power play but decorate up their best players are playing like it I Boston's big guys Chara Lucic. Cream -- they got to play better and the power play in the playoffs six for seven -- it. -- if I'm Boston I'd rather play 55 often came within a share power. They got one the other night in the had a 21 leads them on -- with the public. You know I think the -- ability to -- on -- tonight but I think they got to get a lead because they're right now they're just not scoring enough goals to come back even though they did come back. The other night. Good Vancouver went straight out that one -- come the cup that would be Vancouver's first championship in. But what -- we want to touch -- were both can be on without congressional next week as the US open and expert or. Clown -- is on -- that does the does not rounded off the hook up. But by this point next week will we know have Tigers can play. The -- he. Our -- -- -- starting committed that he can't look at that enabled now I'd drop dead date I think it's thirst. That's when he has to commit now the he's been talking hopefully. For the past month -- -- pulled out of the players championship no pun intended. But this is as he disclose something Jack -- recently -- said he was that more hesitant to play that he said previously to anybody out. Let's the next question followed should people I say he shouldn't. I think Asia he asked him a cut off in. My fear is I am and I mean I've never tired in the -- camp have been I don't want but if tiger comes out. And he's not gonna hit it straight -- He's going to be that he is terrible and -- you know what the shot in the fairway. Everything in regulation is just it's a disaster yet and that's that's cute -- he's going to be an awful lot congressional. There's more bodies of masks penal rough we were up there for I think when they were of course Graham and -- and -- can't think that this thing has also called. Department at. But he came out and that you like if it's terrible it's you'll get penalized severely for the -- and as for the -- -- -- -- today. It's about if I'm tiger would what I would want not wanna do is. Play Thursday. And drop on Friday after shooting seven BA in like 41 on the front side -- that would be another shot them and. What if he doesn't have to withdraw what -- he misses the -- at -- completely -- outbid other Barrett I would if for a guy like him I would just Arco purified you know this is. He -- out without and the promise that he's not playing golf between now like he didn't masters until a player's not playing from the players which only played -- -- two rounds where. Until he sits again for the US open an ideal kind of you know physical conditioning and what kind of -- games -- -- -- it. Orchards out at 80000 more ailments. It's finished. He's not gonna catch too hot and you're right. Because not because it not because when news broke out because as his head case. Whose body is breaking down. That's all that's going to be -- brings out. My next plan is in his column my heated. Orlando sentinel like jockey who normally is or reader that I am a writer and I'm fascinated by. He essentially did the whole Tigers bodies breaking down because she's on steroids thing because at tactically are -- everything with the Canadian steroids supplier. He's been locked up or unable to provide -- the steroid so my county thinks that that's -- Tigers backing down is because the doctors available. Well that's an interest in theaters this one I've heard before but. I don't know I doesn't it doesn't seem like -- -- -- really help you on the golf course the pictures for years. It's all in recovery time I believe Roger Clinton. Violence -- like Tigers of like having a violent throw like Stephen strasburg or on. Tim Lincecum. More of a thrower than pitcher. Well Lincecum at the rate double that with emotion gone he's gone and actually that. That's going to be -- for lunch box live plug when you're gonna be gone. 16 and a -- object between author. And you -- -- -- you make an appearance on Saturday I didn't expect -- actually excellent signing autographs. -- -- And it. You can watch. At sports silent night I'm Andre Iguodala with two for prayer people Steve Yzerman and point 57 on 980 sports reporters -- and listen. It was on Ryan had a great. CSN 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.
