After the Cubs went up 8-2, you would think Hart would attack the strike zone more, but he continued to try to nibble the corner. He looks like a guy headed back to AAA, perhaps right after this start. Jake Fox really looks shaky at 3rd in this game, but continues to swing the bat well. Micah with another couple of hits, looks like he's getting sharper with the more regular at bats he has seen of late. It may be a lousy Nationals team, but to sweep a 4 game series against anyone, is nice.
Agree its nice, but we need 2 of 3 from the Phillies. They have pushed Hammels back, so we won't be seeing him. Hart does need to go to the minors, he pitches scared. Alot of the guys started swinging better, but I'll credit the bad pitching we were seeing. Hopefully Lilly's knee holds up, and Dempster gets back soon, so we get the rotation back to the way it should be.
