The whole team is banged up..
Werth (hamstring)
Harper (knee)
Ramos (hamstring)
Espinosa (just got back after spending some time on the bench for bone chips in wrist)
Zimmerman (spent couple of weeks on DL due to hamstring)
Detwiller (lower back)
Strasburg (was pulled out for the game for lower back pain. Thankfully not the elbow after the TJ surgery)
Suzuki (was hit by Soriano's pitch in the bottom of the 9th on his shoulder, but he seemed OK)
Now I know this ain't no basketball, so one guy is not 20% of team, but you tell me how a team is to play when so many of my boys are all banged up. The DL can start a team of their own...
Nats are walking a very tight rope right now, and no manager can do much with that many injuries...Davey said today that he is going to start making some changes to the lineup. He put Lombardozzi in LF today (usually he is used in double switch situation) as apart of starting line up and we got some instant results..
I was never happy when they traded Michael Morse earlier this year and threw a temper tantrum when I read the news. He could have had enough at bats to be a every day player.
Hopefully the boys will come back from DL and kick some ass..
