The season pretty much starts now, with taylor continuing to fill in admirably for span and joe ross being the 2015 tanner roark for a few more games.

hopefully when stras gets back he has that focus he seemed to have regained before the second DL stint.

Gio, as has been his thing recently, started off slow but really has found himself over the last month. The dominant staff we thought we had might begin peaking at the right time.

Fister wont be pitching in the playoffs at this point, but is a fine as a fifth starter to fend off the Mets.

props to robinson for holding things down till zimmerman could get right. the question of course is whether zimmerman really is back. dude is super streaky...his babip pre-DL was terrible. he is due.

werth...wrist...age... not expecting much power, but he gets on base. He is also not Matt den Dekker, so there is that.

The nats just acquired Ian Desmond for the stretch run. pretty nice to have his bat around.

it has to get in storen's head a bit that they keep going after closers. At the same time, it shows that Rizzo is not playing around this season.
