Chris Needham continues to beat on Frank Robinson like a drum:
Last night was full of the madcap hijinks we've come to expect when Frank Robinson is awake on the bench.Combine Tony LaRussa's penchant for overmanaging and asserting himself in the game, with a BPGer's knowledge of strategy, and a healthy dose of quaaludes, and you'll get decisions like those in yesterday's game.
Chris has plenty of details, including more than a few mistakes that would seem obvious even if your only MLB experience is with six-sided dice and Strat-o-Matic. He makes the additional point that Nats beat writers aren't tough enough with Robinson when it comes to his managerial lapses. I'll have to take his word for that, because as I mentioned yesterday, I've outsourced my Nats coverage to folks who don't have to worry about creating an uncomfortable moment over the pre-game buffet.

POSTSCRIPT: It's easy to see that Cristian Guzman is having a rough year in D.C., but the Nats Blog has taken a far more discerning look, and things are actually worse than you might imagine. Start here, go here and finish here.
