The Nats finally made a change! Granted, it has no immediate impact on the roster nor are the effects all that tangible. But change, given the current state of affairs, is a good thing.
Here’s what’s Phresh in Philly:
Nats fire Derek Lilliquist, name Paul Menhart pitching coach (MASN)
If a few players struggle at once, it's one thing. If an entire pitching staff starts falling apart collectively, it's another. So the Nats brought in the guy who they think knows the pitching staff best and said goodbye to Derek Lilliquist, who hadn't brought real results in his tenure.
