n someone school me on why the team drafted so many OF's so early in the draft? Arent we already drowning in Star OF's that will be 40 by the time they hit the bigs?

At the higher levels, yes

But I can’t think of any highly touted talent in the lower levels, where we have pitching in spades and middle infielders at the lower levels (see beckham, timothy)

I could be wrong though

You don't draft for need

Brad Ziegler had a scoreless inning streak. Brad Ziegler had not met BJ Upton.

We are going to draft them

and make them so valuable that every other organization would kill to have them. I wish………………………

Niemann's curveball control seemed very poor tonight

When that happens, it doesn’t matter if he’s touching 96 with the fastball, he can’t keep anyone off-balance. Usually he can save himself on 2-0 by getting a hammer over and changing the batter’s eye, but I can’t recall too many curves for strikes. They were sitting on the heater and striking hard.

Otherwise, good outing by the pen. Good shit by Zorilla to get Lackey back for the errant chin music. Fucking hell that guy is a douche. I wouldn’t be too happy to play behind him while he made those constant, petulant faces, and slouched and sulked whenever something went poorly in the field.

Here’s to a series victory. It’s Price Day. Hopefully Longo gets going, Pena stays hot, and we can take this one and focus on getting all of Washington and put ourselves firmly over the .500 mark.

So long, Sweet Lime!
