V I N TAG E A C H A M P I O N S WASHINGTON NATIONALS Members of the 2009 Washington Nationals 65s: Back row: Tom Hawkins, Gary Parks, Bellmont Perry, Ben Fisher, Jeff Crump, Bob DeWese, Ken McGruther, Gene Edgar, Pete Wood; Front Row: Dan Barolo, George Barnes, Randy Lightle, Richard Sherman, Bill Lear, Roger Miller, Jim Stormes.

2 2 continued from page 1 Pitching in the playoffs Roy Hobbs requirement is that all pitchers who will be starters or closers in save situations (3-run or less difference in the 8 th and 9 th innings) qualify for the playoffs by pitching at least 2 innings during pool play. This is a reminder to all managers that all pitching statistics need to be updated through the first 4 games by noon Wednesday. When playoffs begin Thursday or Friday, all managers will be supplied with a list of pitchers eligible to startclose. Finally, in the playoffs, those non-qualified middle-inning pitchers will come to the mound from their normal defensive positions where they started the game. That is important as the spirit of the rule is that these non-qualified pitchers who are used as inning-eaters are players who ordinarily are playing other positions. Just a reminder to Managers to enter their statistics after each game on line. The program will give you cumulative totals for all your games, and Roy Hobbs will be checking those on Wednesday morning to produce pitching data to determine which pitchers will be eligible for starting-closing roles in the playoffs.
