We are going to jump to the mean always government it. I'm your host -- -- the host -- Brothers like and then yellow -- can run has taken over what have you been offered little lost and over. We're gonna go to the U to suspend duds NCA suspending players in the -- -- scandal. Quarterback that we testimony yes they're gonna -- a little bit more today -- a hundred million dollar deal he's gotten the Redskins host the bucks tomorrow for the pre season finale and what do we expect from the rest of the -- be touch and all that -- right into it so don't transfer window talk. Trent trying to show us what you can do that on your -- today no soccer rules. On the -- hurt -- 88 -- and the NCAA. Puts there the mini hammered out there you know for different games going to be different -- gonna be different suspensions. Do you think there's another boon to be expected Glenn Eagles gonna drop on the school with as far as have these. Mentions as far as I know those -- the guys -- that there were -- so that makes sense and I think there will more are they more what is it just medicine Terrell naming names and them saying okay this is what we did yes older trusting what Augusta is in jail and take an N one a lot I got the whatever investigation they've dog. They they feel that there's enough of a link there with these guys or they owned up to and apparently the kids all you know admitted to what they're improper benefits words some -- more than others somewhere got more games and others. Yeah some got a couple games some got six games I think you're gonna see Miami be as proactive as possible try to head off for the future that won't wanna I wanna avoid the big woman that which I don't forget orbits depo is gonna happen. But -- one of they don't want there was a few bowl appearances TV TV money is big. It's an ACC look Miami and Bryant huge of the big picture they need my ankle that's my quest for god and can they afford to NCA a forward. To suspend them heavily and put a death penalty on now the second half and cut it affects everyone else needs to stay out of -- happened look Christian was gonna happen Ellis practiced down we have the scandals ever now that there's a big. There's a big story about it all this and then it goes right back to business as usual because the machine has harming in the money's coming it so don't try to. Give them as minimal as they can and that's why you see it individual coaches or administrators get nailed guys -- Shapiro gets hit -- and in the machine can run. Now but this is also have an impact. Whatever comes to Miami later down the road. It's gonna impact on the school because got my name is gonna say hey just let other schools do -- get in trouble other schools rat them out there to say look. What's happened with -- Ohio State what are you gonna do them what's happening to these other big east schools. Won't things that are breaking a few years that you read is it -- need in the form of -- director was one of the guys was pushing for a huge penalty on USC. So what went down He had not -- back burger because that's what I can do what ultimately happened this has gone on in your backyard so look it's it's looked at the nest of snakes and -- it's a dirty business. ILE at some point where is gonna decide what it was going to go to them minor league football. And you have Monroe of Virginia Mike Mussina shut up now that you got -- let's go do that in the guys can get paid if doesn't want or if you wanna go get an education. -- you can do that now and will separate the business and I. I'm -- as much club for the via president came out that they were gonna streamline the the rules this year by the in the academic year what have new rules I think it's a little bit of BS because. It took fueled this long to get to this. Point in our lives with a new rule book. Would if they don't you know give everything they need streamline the way it should be how many more years is gonna take -- what right. -- you can put in up to prevent an -- -- from taking guys to get strippers it's true I don't know that was cool for that I mean can you really blame us now into the extra club and the kids each of course we're not gonna say no you're not as we go to Miami it's that's where you don't let an average career ending your school. Or that close to athletes and that's the problem it was oversight. There wasn't enough going on this someone obviously dropped the ball at that level and let's move Ron. Michael Vick He gets a million dollar contract touched on every five years -- millions is five or six years five years and I. Upon -- for six years -- but he's never gonna see that in reality forty million guarantee it throughout the most he'll ever make is at most if if He wins two syllables. His five years a million out okay but -- situation. Lot of people -- in arms about this thing you know how you gonna give this guy's only -- you know he's only been out for eleven games starting. -- and give Lola hundred million does that say more about Michael Vick or that the Eagles have that much trust in them. What would you trade Kevin Cobb and then here's the other factor -- of people bring this up any reason have a dog that bad weeks -- -- really really look at Vince Gill. And see and that they fought they. Just -- my guy as a Richards yeah I think thought much like when they brought Vick get you for Dusty -- they sell it well okay we got some here -- And they made just a bit young and thrust into a certain extent they would offer -- Vick less. -- to take it. Because we have another option here obviously don't feel -- to an option He did everything was asked of him He played pretty well a guy runs allowed as -- risk of getting hurt that's a risk -- you know you can fault occurred. It makes sense when you really look at the particulars of the contract is really roughly an -- point five million guaranteed. He's got high motivation to play has bought off because he's got a lot of debts to pay to me it makes sense it was a sensible deal for both sides as. Should -- at the naysayers up who had to say hey this guy's got managerial it is -- deserve this thing I think you know done his time he's he's he's paid is yet to decide what what I don't want is anyone lecturing me I should be. Court court happy for him yeah I didn't have it forever it could be happy for a rookie and obviously we're not players up at my in my bag. As far as I'm concerned he's done everything right to -- humane society is great. I'm on the I'm and avid dog lover I think people abuse animals are disgusting im sickened by what He did what He served his time He paid his price. Now He can move up just don't ask me to treat this guy like -- part the only two things I don't think there's some others out there like. This guy was done wrong he's a -- we shall overcome and He did to himself. Land and the other thing is although He did when He does this despicable I still am offended by the people who put those on. -- clothes on or the dog booties on some of the Nevada -- did you know and walk -- them. And adults what does that -- regards whether it would also needs to be some understood by everyone out there is Michael Vick is paying two out of every three dollars He makes to his creditors people that He goes so. He's only paying his debt to society but also his creditors. He's faced him and that's why does mean more since the Eagles because he's got that much motivation Celek he's gonna get this deal was like all right I made it yeah I'm -- and I hope he's got hurt. The maximum out of money can't in this deal so and you've got a highly motivated guy a guy who's gonna play through injuries. Guys and who's gonna get the film on that extra time you think it can He learn his lessons from when not in Atlanta He was not an -- admitted He -- up with the timing issue -- these guys prepares you should have been. And now he's matured whatever went through look it's not my job to look at that man's -- all say he's done everything's been -- -- -- how can begrudge which has earned Olympic exactly. Well -- moved the risk is real -- we'll just keep my dogs away from no more dogs bombing He deserves a chance that I know have dogs -- and I think in life not no doubt if he's gotten gotten passes you know his problems I digit under is a global operation there and rely on a hot dog that's just bad. -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- Off -- the you to retrieve it because he's actually shown some flashes in the pre season -- week and Evan Royce or your Lackey got here are running back I think Ed Royce is. -- being held off so that they don't have film on him at a high level but I press -- yet. So we'll see what happens at the running back situation how many of you keeps like -- and show something. Well I mean do they trust him enough to not have to plan -- in practice but will let's go to -- we've all heard all of you know it rumblings about cool is that where we. All thought He is and where He says He is do we think that this is going to be the way to Mike Sellers -- roster spot. In my hat too because He can play a little fullback in the obviously can play some -- Madden and of course not right in and it worries me what I hear the word in this case. And He had that in the knew when I hear it wears on your guys go see doctor James Andrews was really scares me to listen these pretzels one of the best in the world. I'm more concerned here was -- cool he's going to be right how soon that's going to be. And I will bomb I hope the risk is too low tomorrow night do we don't get hurt. Exactly with this keep everything look at the whole Cullen Jenkins thing. Our job is taken on him get hurt -- that Donahue said better. I'm within the Redskins sorry that Maryland university will be taking on Miami.

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.

Beltway Baseball: Reader questionsCSN Washington dot com. Thanks for clicking here on CSN Washington dot com your watch him beltway baseball it's a season marks the mark it's time for reader questions and I think we got some really good ones this week. The first one from Eric he asks. What are the chances that the league has figured out and or Strasburg and that. Maybe that is contributed to their early season struggles. If that has been going on could changeup the reactions that yeah that's a good question we talk about Strasburg are others segment and I think there's a little bit of the league start to figure him out. But certainly not as intimidated by him. As a maybe it will when he first came out but I think if Strasburg he's so good that he. conference itself can locate his fastball he's going to be just fine opposite Kerr our tests I still so fastball straighten out he's going to be fine. He little more instinct question to me because here's a guy who was new the National League last year whoever went way. Maybe there is little bit more of a book coming out on him his last Pittsburgh was that he got that big jam early. Got out of it and one of the reasons got out it was because change. It doesn't throw a whole lot pass to Tony Wilson Ramos calling for. And insisting on a deal with but he talked and it's not like it's I'm walker out right but he trusted Ramos. Started making some good pitches getting some outs and also and I think you may see some more of that from him down the road it's again. It's all about adapting his pitchers. Baseball's all about adjustments. Pictures investigators because of the pitchers. The more they see you at Wimbledon and you you have to learn how to adjust to that and it got out on the road. That's his thing and think about GO looking back at that trade most of the guys they sent the other way didn't have really worked is kind of favored Houston right now. And Norris is is pretty pretty decent and they got little on the loan is really right now I don't know if you've seen or he's the one that was kind of an afterthought at that time but he he's very polished. Mean I ever be an ace is good solid back pace now or stick with the rotation for the second question really good question in my opinion by Murray the red. Says the one through five rotation it is clear now that they are not the best to worst quarters they should be. Will that be corrected and if so how. And how do you guys see the best course for well let's start with that first part you know everyone makes it's a big who's number one number 2345. Other than the first week of the season and they want to get to the playoffs. It really matter nobody now you don't mind guys that thing and you are number one vs there when it has off days rain outs. You know it throws off so you don't make midseason adjustments that unless one guy is so bad that you think you need to skip his turn. And I don't think there. There but. The way it's staked out so far this year you have to see Jordan Zimmermann is their number one right right now no disrespect to see Strasburg. But towards has pitched like an ace and real team. At the moment he's like. Among the leaders in. We NCR a whip and you have to consider him for the all star game starter. And long way to go obviously I think you have to put number one if it were right now. You goes if they started a playoff series this weekend I think towards me it was game one. It probably still put Strasburg threw just because as we used yet and maybe that I was three because he's been a more consistent you Gonzales. Yeah I think that's the way ago parent I know is listed as the as the recently but that weather started so hot I think he would pride but he bumped up in the rotation as well. Third question is from three on two out. Says what is your prognosis or into any random will he stay in the minors. Barring injury or roster player until September call ups or their other possibility. Answered the question we just got to see him for two weeks and you could see glimpses of what he can for them but here's the problem he's got to play every. He hasn't done it as a professional even late in his college career he was hurt Dan may need him playing every day somewhere. When he was up here couldn't afford a plane never ever losing they need some tough games in Atlanta we need is best possible option so. I really think he's gonna stay in the minors. Play every day and time at third base but also some time at second base shortstop. We'll see if another injury came up exited on back up. Otherwise thank you think it's going to be September. Because he just don't want this guy's development he's too good long term prospect. To bring up your second that's yours and his development if you do that is we've heard the organization say he needs more time. And he when he came up he showed signs stating that there were a little things defense that I'm miscues base running miscues. That just. Proved pretty clearly that he just needs more and he point out it was a great thing that he mentioned off on his last 8% back down he can understand how much more they think here. It's not just about who's the most talented there's a lot of thought processes in it for pitchers. It's something he's dollars and everybody have to learn and you only get that experience.
