The Nats offered Harper 10-years, $300 m with no option out clauses on the last day of the season.

He turned them down.

As long as they spend money on anything other than Harper I am happy...

I hope they resign Rendon soon

Why is Howie Kendrick's .330 average not good enough to put him in the starting lineup? Is Zimmerman really that invaluable? Racism.

First at bat for Zimmerman, two on two out...strikeout.

Note to Nats: Howie is hitting .356 with RISP this year. Zimmerman now hitting .100 with RISP this year.

Splits indicate that he's much better at home than on the road:  .271 vs .397

But we all know the reason why is because Howie is making $4m and the Nats are paying Zim $18m this season.

Matt Adams (.232) and Dozier (.232) get the starts today, Howie (.330) in the bench.

I don’t know Kendrick did wrong...this has been going on since he joined Nats

Like in playoff series against Cubs

How does a guy come in with a 17-4 lead, give up three runs in three innings, and get credit for a save?

Vansmack and I are still trying to figure out how the ball the Tigers OF batted over the wall on accident last night was a HR and counted as earned runs and not an error. When we get to the bottom of that, we will jump on this.

This one is an easy one.

3 ways to get a save, per MLB rule 10.20

- He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his club; and
- He is not the winning pitcher; and

He qualifies under one of the following conditions:

- He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning; or
- He enters the game, regardless of the score, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat, or on deck; or
- He pitches for at least three innings.

Under the last condition, the official scorer has some discretion as to whether or not to award a save.   It was at home, so the official scorer gave him a save.  Had it been in Cincinnati, no way that's a save.

Nats really just need to give Rendon whatever he's asking for. I love him as much as i hate Harper.
