Turner stole his 16th base and scored two runs.When you can run, you make people rush, Baker said. And if people rush in this game most of the time theyre not themselves and most of the time theyre going to make mistakes. and thats what Trea does.Hoffman tossed six innings and allowed four runs (three earned) and six hits with four walks and three strikeouts.I thought there was some positives, Rockies manager Walt Weiss said. He gave up some runs early and really fought to get through six.Putting down that sixth inning I think was a nice step for him. Hes got a good arm. I like what I see from him the second time out here.The Nationals blew the game open with a four-run seventh off reliever Matt Carasiti, highlighted by a two-run triple from Harper.Closer Mark Melancon retired Christhian Adames for the final out.

What the club is attempting to do now is address that by looking at building a football department that is a lot more focused on high performance.Theres no doubt that Mary (McGregor) is going to be under a bit of pressure. Im good friends with him, but my role is to make sure he and the people around him have the right focus to put 17 players on the field every day that are going to be extremely competitive.The rretired Australian and Queensland representative said he was taking his role - albeit very small - very seriously because part of his heart belonged to the club.ddddddddddddve gone for St George since I was seven years old and Ive had the honour of leading the club and playing with them for 12 years, he said.I absolutely have a lot of investment in that club and I want to see them get back to where they were in 2008, 2009, 2010 and challenge for the premiership.Apart from poor on-field execution, Coyne felt the playing roster was the Dragons biggest issue this season.But deciding who to let go and who to recruit was beyond the committees control.The CEO and the coach are ultimately responsible for the roster, and in my view, the roster certainly needs to be enhanced, he said.They are both jointly responsible for making sure that the roster is going to give them the best opportunity to win a premiership.Ill work hard with the committee to make sure that we provide the football department with the tools and the programs to be able to maximise their success, but then its over to them to implement and execute those programs to make sure that the club is successful.
