jlb1705;1722709; said:YouTube- Ray Knight & Rob Dibble bring out the rulers
I didn't realize that Rob Dibble and White Dusty Baker (Ray Knight) were among the multitudes of former Reds who now work for the Nats. Apparently they got into what's been described as a "televised [censored]ing match" on the air after Strasburg's most recent start. The back-and-forth doesn't live up to its billing. Most of the entertainment for me comes from the assertion by White Dusty that Strasburg should throw fewer strikes.
Also, I watch that video and can't help but imagine the Nationals broadcast team being comprised of Pete Mackanin and Todd Coffey or some [censored] like that. They sure love them some former Reds out there.

Phillips on top of his game at top
Brandon Phillips has been tearing up opposing teams' pitching for nearly two months and entered Saturday's game against Cleveland leading the National League in runs scored with 56.
Phillips was hitting .371 in June after a .316 performance in May and was second in the NL with 91 hits.
"To tell the truth, when you're winning you just have a different attitude in the way you approach the game," Phillips said. "My job is to get on base for the big dogs like Johnny Gomes and Scott Rolen and Joey Votto so they can drive me in."
Phillips did not know he was leading the league in runs.
"That means I'm doing my job and I'm getting on base," Phillips said. "Hopefully I continue doing that. For me to be leading the league in runs is saying that I'm doing my job and the team is doing theirs."
The Reds second baseman hit just .236 in April before being moved out of the cleanup spot in the order.
In the No. 2 hole, Phillips was hitting .326 with a .382 on-base percentage in 162 at-bats. In 15 plate appearances in the leadoff spot, Phillips was hitting .467 with a matching .467 on-base percentage
