08:16 AM ET 08.27 | Washington's losing streak hit four over the weekend, courtesy a 4-1 loss in Philadelphia. [The] tension that attends any playoff push is rising. After the final pitch, Johnson and General Manager Mike Rizzo conversed behind the closed door of Johnson's office for nearly 20 minutes, Johnson's shouts audible from the hallway outside. The yelling appeared to be the release of frustration after a dispiriting loss, not the start of a rift. Although it was not clear what the argument centered on, Johnson could be heard shouting, "You come down and manage the team." ... "I had a discussion with my boss," Johnson said later. The sweep in Philly inspired the Nationals' first recent brush with worry.

It is a long season in baseball, there will be losing streaks, winning streaks, and injuries. The Nats still have a four and a half game lead in the division, never have been there this late in the season, enjoy the opportunity, and don't panic, and let it just play itself out.

I wouldn't second guess Johnson. I would however second guess the GM in this case.

I'm expecting this Strasbourg issue to completely unite the GM, manager and players in the very near future.

Every team is going to have their ups and downs every season. Just ride the wave and don't panic.

Some jitters from a young team playing more experienced inter-division rivals. As with the Yankee series in June, this should keep them from getting too cocky, and make them regroup. Nothing wrong here, just some growing pains. Don't know if they'll still be playing in October unless the rest of the rotation comes around though- JZ has had a rough year, and they'll need to find someone to step in for Strasburg. I hope they stick to their philosophy and limit his innings, no reason to jeopardize his career, let him come back 100% and be a contender for the next 7 or 8 years!
