Olsen Smoked

"We've had some outstanding performances, and we've had some ones that our pitchers are feeling like 'I don't know what's wrong with me.'"

Smoke 'em if you got 'em!

Rockies 10, Nationals 4: Scott Olsen and Tyler Walker get lit up for 10 runs in 3 innings, but at least some lucky Nationals fans got a free T-shirt out of the deal.

Zim (3-5, HR, 2 RBI), Guz (4-5, 1 RBI) provided too little, too late firepower. It was over after 3.

Speaking of firepower: Adam Dunn (0-4) keeps on struggling. Sure, the 14 walks are great, but that .279 SLG ain't gonna cut it. On an unrelated note, Adam Dunn tells the Washington Post there's "nothing going on" with his contract extension.

"Unrelated development?" I dunno, but I think the lack of any movement on resigning Dunn may be very much related to his long slump. A slugger over age 30 can see his hitting skills plummet very fast. See: Jones, Andrew; and Dunn is not nearly the player Jones was.

I hope I'm wrong, but the longer this goes on I can't hlp but thinkingthat Dunn is done.
