Game Recap 4/4

Good: Christian Guzman (.360/.360/.560)
Bad:Dmitri Young (Not Pinch Hitting Late in Games)

Good: Nats Bullpen (4IP, 0R, 1H, 0BB, 3K)
Bad: Odalis Perez (4IP, 5R, 9H, 4BB, 2K)

Good: Nats collect 10 base hits, 5 walks and have the benefit of 2 St. Louis errors!
Bad: Nats strand 25 base runners and lose


On the whole, not a bad game. Considering that Perez reverted to his usual form and threw half a seasons worth of pitches in half a game, it was surprising that were in a position to wish that there were better offensive options off the bench in the late innings. Though it would be nice to give Saul a night off once in a while, and the rest of the bullpen too if things keep going this way. Guzman had better be careful. If he continues to hit like this, I might start liking him (shudder).

There is the tendency to say he cannot keep hitting like this, what with the amount of seeing eye singles and whatnot, but he kept it up for a while last year.

As Chris at CP points out, Zim or Guz walking sure would be nice.
