CSN Washington dot com. Their folks welcome the beltway baseball and by The Washington Times mark Zuckerman and chase -- here on. Nationals Park is the region is hit by a heat wave apparently right now on the nationals. Are also playing that Tampa Bay Rays and nice segue I. There's all there's a lot of things that have already gone on in this series that we talk about that's kind of which is the bigger story won't start with what happened in the rotation. And Tuesday night coming along at a pretty Rocky start roughed up while it had pretty much the perfect opportunity to take advantage the advantage of -- I shut down the raised. Put them in a position to win and they didn't end up winning the game. But the next day Davey Johnson confirmed that thought that was going to be the fifth starters. What do you make of this where -- goes from here and whether debt while there may -- finally have the confidence this year yet let's start. That -- I mean if you watched that game on Tuesday night it was obviously had to make this both because how dominant that might -- an -- when he retired eleven and twelve batters. And in the striking difference to me between him and long. Was at that latter has the stuff to put away hitters -- one got two strikes and almost everybody and he couldn't put weight -- it's. Walking batters you know -- accountable that -- get ahead in the count and attack him. And finish it off I think for that reason alone at coming through now the problem is that settled wrong. That standing around and it worked as a reliever with scene because it's so long to warm up. He's the guy who even with any team seems to get better -- -- on struggles in the first inning that's not ideal but the problem is. -- the minor league options can't -- out he's not injured. Implement you know I don't wanna eat at four million dollar salary especially if they think there is still a chance to come around. So they're gonna put him out there keep them on something of a starters schedule. Having workers the caddie and I hope that maybe they need an average that they can -- some work in that ultimately maybe it does get back in the rotation at some point. Payments and salary that makes them a little hard to trade but even if they were thinking it could mean with Stephen Strasburg potentially shut down. In the knee today need a guy like -- does them justice that the well that's part of the problem too even if somebody was offering something. Guys -- wrong I'm not sure this point they are because look at the performance out there they need starters for later in the season whether that's all whether it's on line. And that's the reason they haven't -- him. Because they think you. They are going to -- started with scenes over and that's just assuming that nobody else gets hurt. You know they've been very fortunate despite all the injuries it had not to have an effect their rotation. So that would -- you really need these guys so yeah I think the whole idea all along is you gotta keep this much depth in the organization as possible. It doesn't make -- ideal roster situation sometimes but in the big you have to think about the big picture not just not with them and it. Now what about the bullpen and that we're talking about starting -- reasonable -- -- them I think Rizzo yesterday acknowledged. You know when the music stops someone might not have it here yeah and it's already happened Brad -- the other day when they had designated for assignment and there's going to be more decisions have to be made there. Ryan Mathews is that -- Rodriguez on rehab assignment should be vaccine through story is getting closer to coming back probably be around the all star break. Somebody's got to lose their jobs when this happens. What do you do well they are there once but now with long. Out of -- rotation back in the hole and but I still look at him long term because he makes sense as a reliever. -- -- -- -- out there Michael Gonzales kind of a luxury is it there left -- now. How'd he do you -- a guy gets there and you hate to say it because. Matthews and -- him pitch so well but they have minor league options and so they can be sent to Tripoli without losing. And unfortunately sometimes those other factors that permanently here because again you wanna keep all these guys in the organization -- -- -- you don't want to risk losing somebody else together. Now earlier I mentioned that he that bodes well for hitting which is on the in the nationals could use some improvement on. Particularly with Ryan Zimmerman Michael -- some guys that have been out of the lineup at times this year but they're they're back there the middle of their order now -- -- you're right. And that's the thing is that they are healthy. And there and I mean never in his career to -- prolonged stretch like this -- -- 229. Coming into this series not hitting for power at all. He insists the shoulder is fine I think the issue might be is Davey Johnson describes it. They kind of compensating for the injury from back when it was there. And -- in the back of his mind maybe subconsciously. And letting it affect the way he swings and what you have to do in that -- -- forget about it. Relax take your normal swing distrust that everything's going to be fine. He did have it last night I think that -- help me bode well for him and ask for Morse. He did come through with that home run two run homer off David Price and hit to right center field that's that's where his real power stroke isn't that he said. This guy may -- along he actually hit the ball pretty hard the last. 34 days that they didn't have a lot to show for it I think that maybe the first real tangible evidence that he is coming around on. Signs of progress richer Morse defeats at the ball opposite field that's what we're -- last year doubts that that's definitely bodes well we can't. Talk about the series not going into the pine tar incident which is something that mark and Amanda we'll talk about just a moment. OK joined now by a man called lack of The Washington Times a lot going on right now with the nationals let's discuss. The incident. From Tuesday night's game -- -- oil Peralta and the pine tar on his glove. We actually saw this I saw that seven years ago and Anaheim when Jose Guillen tipped off Frank Robinson about Brendan Donnelly I think we have a similar situation here. Here's my question you in the mets' clubhouse today do you think they're glad this happened or do you think actually with. For this didn't happen. I'm planting -- -- You know I think it. It was an interesting clubhouse last night and you can do me you know it was hard to read. You know whether or not -- pitchers we're happy hour kind of upset in the do knowledge -- -- -- -- -- tack on and you know it's not only that they don't that they you know it was a person and that's -- it -- about that -- -- this guy he was a teammate but then you know you start to wonder if it's more about this fraternity of being pitchers. And not that they had just called out on there fraternity yeah it's been. Is unwritten rule in baseball that this stuff goes on probably a lot more than we realize and when is it appropriate to bringing attention the -- when is it not. Davey Johnson even mention all that today in the aftermath of it explain it doesn't even think it's that they can do a little bit of pine tar. But if you've got an excessive amount as he had been told for all -- Patten as it turned out he did it. He says look ultimately comes down to the rule book the rules of the rules. Residual effect. Does this thing go away or is there some lingering resentment between two teams. -- I think that he resentments between the managers. You know I think a lot of players just like. That happen. I'm sure you know maybe if there's any resentment -- -- each individual has their own reason -- I think my personal feeling is that the team team thing. And any you know if there isn't it because one team wants support him there again to another team whose managers. -- Calling them names and I. They're all telling me you know and you know I had that's my opinion where things the Taylor. Crazy situation we'll see how this -- plays out over time let's move on another subject more big picture here nationals in first place in -- for quite awhile now. The teams behind them have shuffled around all over the place than anyone of the four different times has that right there with them. So I think it's safe to assume at this point the nationals are going to be in the race for the majority season I think it is pretty surprising. If they didn't but here's my question now who -- most concerned about and the rest of the NL east and maybe not who we would have thought. Well I mean I think that obviously everyone figured their -- competition and he's Phillies. At this point it -- the Phillies -- it's -- -- absolutely I mean they just had two relievers had surgery yesterday. I think have a setback you know and you think you know those currently minor things but on top of all the major issues -- already had. They can't afford much more in my opinion so. -- at this point I think you have to assume that the Phillies are probably the least likely team to be in this thing at the end even get -- -- yet I agree that. They are practically -- -- once they're going to finish last but I think they have the least percentage chance of finishing first in the division this. I I like how do you agree with you we may be eating their words. You know informants. But you know it's just it's difficult in that position right now I mean the other three teams it's kind of -- them but my opinion. The Marlins made beating most dangerous team behind nationals just because. There very streaky but when they're hot they're hot and you know the national solidly or high in Miami seem like they could not lose yet so I you know I think it obviously -- -- the other two teams Atlanta and New York bring to the tables. You know qualities but for me the. Yet the other thing about the Marlins is for whatever reason they've owned the nationals over the years there's something about that team that just don't match up well with. There are comfortable facing them. Direct when they're on that lineup is as good as any team in baseball their pitching rotations the does that -- I will throw -- the New York Mets. In this discussion. A team that going and it's not but had no chance of being in this next at all. You still wanna believe that maybe they can't do it but if they can keep pitching this way if RA Dickey. Can continue to be the best picture based on who would have you know imagine that on opening day I think you have to. Take them seriously. I I don't disagree with you I think you know I think you're saying this last night if they -- into -- series having Johan Santana and RA Dickey pitching. Their you know heavy odds to win two of those three -- have to move on in this series that they don't -- you know maybe that's where they even now on the you know play to their level a little more. But you know the -- -- David Wright that they had two good pitchers in the game great and and whatever contribution they get from other people. Can tend to spelling and does that mean they're making me laugh now but that doesn't mean that they it doesn't mean that they could be. Yeah absolutely I mean. Ending his season you always think you have an idea how -- and turn out as we've seen so far it's not gonna turn out at all. How anybody expected it's going to be a wild. Second after the season. Thanks man for joining me chase will be accurate to me in this moment as a reader questions. Right Jason mark back here at Nationals Park got ready for some reader questions thanks again got some good ones this week. First -- from -- seeing that span. Wants to know about Mark DeRosa any word with Mark DeRosa or as Tyler Moore stolen his roster. Well Mark DeRosa is getting close to coming back yeah he's missed a long time with -- hopefully injury and then. Tragically also had to deal with his father passed away from cancer in the last week but he's back. He's been hitting the ball is getting closer rehab assignment yet Tyler Moore has played well. But Derosa is got to sign all along to be important and off the -- -- veteran who has held that role before and that's why I think they are gonna finally happened on the -- -- just batting practice we -- him before -- today on Wednesday that a few homers to left field that he was used to chase the ball for sure. Next question from naturally he wants to know I know it's early but you see the nets picking up Bruce's option is my time back in the Tyler -- it does because they like Tyler Moore and maybe he could be their first baseman next year but you also have Michael Morse. We've been playing left left to right field that's here. The thought all along has been maybe easier first baseman next year. -- grossed -- so many good things you know especially defensively and on those guys can match that. It's still too early honestly can make this decision it'll happen at some point once you get to the end and -- -- pieces. Fit together that like Adam LaRoche he would do a lot for them. If you can perform the waited for six weeks -- the kind of a no brainer but yeah after remember what. Effect does that have on who else that you go after. And where males and the course murder another piece to make the -- another and consider we got to see him come back who's injured but yet today they're certainly options there. None of them has proven right. Okay well the third one is from gene Indy who wants to know about your Rodriguez we're always talking -- Once and they worked an inning Henry Rodriguez straightened out so he doesn't implode next sentence and it's certainly hope so he's on rehab right now he pitched well at Syracuse last night. They're not getting rid of this guy again people there they want to. Take a chance and see if he can get this -- -- now because you just don't find arms like that growing on trees. They're gonna try to ease him back into less pressure situations. Hope that helps make this all possible. At some point if he can't keep up and you gotta make that decision but for now when I'm thankful. They are committed this guy that believes that put him in the right spots and mentally he can handle -- and be effective reliever -- And and that's the -- gains recently but. Things start to piece together as far as getting healthier and stuff like that so we'll see maybe this need to get out of it AL east this -- it sooner than later to get back on track. Well another good -- beltway baseball presented by The Washington Times. For mark and -- -- chase thanks for watching. CSN Washington dot com.

  2. Beltway Baseball: Why Strasburg will be just fine

    Thu, 9 May 2013

    CSN 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.

  3. Beltway Baseball: Reader questions

    Thu, 9 May 2013

    CSN 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.

  4. Boston Marathon runner Rachel Ackerman describes her experience on Monday

    Tue, 16 Apr 2013

    CSN Washington dot com Rachel first or by. Describe to the viewers just fit the moments leading up to the ovaries and just describe what the city of Boston was like it. Yeah I got in net and a couple might be further and I went to the accident to pick up my number and that's always really exciting as spenders I'm a lot of great GNC. All the different people who learn there are just getting ready. I'm driving ever wearing their shirts ended the reeling me I have it I made stayed at my college which is happening before. They're racing in the morning and she lives by the starting lines there's lots of people coming in and out and just eating and chatting and talking about so happy it's so much cooler than last years and have there which is 9089 degrees that. And it's really just a beautiful start lots of green energy and Dan and look like it was going to be really fantastic and. The race starts. You finished you feel like triumph celebration. Over the training you put into it. Walk us through the events that led up to at the 250 mark of the race when you first heard the explosion. Yeah that you know I had it finished there is am I name's Wayne and got my bag and changed and then masters checking on and I relations and some time know my time. Yeah I was safety hair and and with getting text messages about that I was on the on the get together with them and you know. I can't go at those walking. Toward the start line to cheer on other people who we're finishing and I think that's the greatest part of that. to get to theater and I'm excited and and ran that slant and yet going toward the finish line. I heard. Allowed explosions. Heard in Ireland. And I way. Got out there and tactically. And where are starting to from where it finished out toward where. Luckily you got a chance to call your father right away a lot of fuel didn't get an opportunity because a frantic situation that's going on. What did you see eighty your dad at the time to get a chance talked to. I was terrified and I hung up with my friend and I immediately called my father and I expect that I have no idea what's going on I just heard explosions I'm pretty I was crying on the and I think you need to look on the and Tommy what it is. And then I was completely. Panicked. And I say and just started walking away from them. The and I looked around I thought I mean I was filed a big buildings and not have to just keep walking away from us and I just kept going. Torre. Out outside of the immediate downtown area and it it just out. I mean just you know when did you. Feel like something wasn't right you heard the first explosion and I think fifteen seconds later was the second one was at that second one when you're like OK something's not right he. I think it was the second it sounded like it had been anything that I had heard before learn and it didn't found the car backfiring someone spending he was a transformer. Exploding like that I've heard before and telling Amy could have been but when I saw people running. And looking frantic and ask them. Everyone kind of stopped being looking very perplexed that was probably not we ever in fear of your life. I was very panicked when it happen and I don't know if I was in fear of my Iowa I think I was just so you know. Going I was a little bit in shock I think I am. Was very and I was. Very aware. Began large buildings around me and if these whereupon I think what were they trying to get to get. As far away from this buildings. I think I was more. Panic because I was five I was had not yet met up with friends with me later so I kind of self. I'm trying to get somewhere and that part it's with the scary for me thing I've been in touch with people or where to go or what to do you. Clearly from. Listen to the president and the FBI. This is a terror event the question I think many people wanted to know from people experience it is your marathon runner. Will you do it again and now when you are in public places does this change how you go about your daily life. If they're really. It's a really good question. I I think you know. Part of the thinking part of what I love about running marathons is that anybody can do and it's a gathering I mean this again and Aaron from around the world from across the country. And I am. You know I I You know of course run another marathon and I I would even do Boston again I mean that I just think it's so. Horrific that. It's it's now going to be a place that is. thought of as a target but there's going to be have to increase security act and holiday things when usually. Speculate and in Boston it's a sad day when everybody in the community comes together and you know knowing that workers schooler.
