WASHINGTON -- Over the last week, the struggling Washington Nationals have fired their hitting coach and demoted the teams former closer. Whatever changes the organization makes over the remainder of the 2013 season, removing manager Davey Johnson from his post will not be one of them. Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo says theres "no chance that he wont be the manager until the end of the season," Washington is in second place, but sports a frustrating 50-54 record and was 8.5 games behind Atlanta entering Saturdays game against the New York Mets. "Were in the midst of trying to assess that," Rizzo said. "I think we still have two months to figure it out and well assess it throughout the rest of the season and come up with a battle plan in the off-season to try and remedy that." Rizzo maintains its unlikely the Nationals will make a splashy move before the trading deadline. "If we could tweak and improve at certain spots on the bench, I think that could be one place we would attack," Rizzo said. "Weve got ourselves a pretty talented group of guys that were committed too. We like where were at." Of his working relationship with Johnson, Rizzo said, "I think its great. I love Davey and respect him. I think he feels the same way." Washington has won two of three games with both victories coming on walk-off home runs, but the Nationals have dropped seven of 10 overall. In between the pair of dramatic wins, the emotional run included an 11-0 loss to the Mets in Fridays opening game. After Drew Storen allowed three runs in 2-3 of an inning in the blowout, the Nationals sent their former closer and first-round pick to Triple-A Syracuse. The right-hander is 3-2 with two saves and a career-worst 5.95 ERA in 47 games. "We felt that he was struggling, struggling with his mechanics, with his tempo, with his delivery, with his arm slot," Rizzo said of Storen, adding the demoting decision came before the latest outing. "We felt we would do him better by letting go down to a less stressful situation. Work on his mechanics, get it fixed, get back up here and help us." Storen had 47 saves for the Nationals in 2011 and posted a 2.37 ERA during an injury-riddled 2012 campaign. Last season ended with Storen melting down in the decisive Game 5 of the National League Divisional Series, blowing a two-run lead and the game against St. Louis. Washington signed veteran closer Rafael Soriano during the off-season, moving Storen into a setup role. Asked if that demotion in the bullpen pecking order affected Storens mentality, Rizzo said, "I dont see the reason why it should have. Hes a mentally strong person with good stuff. We were getting an established closer with a great track record. We felt there was another guy that added depth and power to the end of the bullpen." Following the doubleheader, reliever Tyler Clippard was not pleased by his close friends demotion. "You know, you basically send a guy a message this off-season for having one bad game that hes not the guy for the job. Hes only human. Its going to get to anybody," Clippard said. "His opinion means a lot to me," Rizzo said of Clippard, with whom he spoke with before Saturdays game. "I disagree with his assessment of the situation, but you fight to the death to let them speak their mind and say what they want." The manager announced Bryce Harper would start on Saturday against the Mets. The All-Star outfielder sat out the second game of Fridays doubleheader after aggravating his left knee while diving for a ball in the opener.

Canberra coach Ricky Stuart says he doesnt understand why Jarrod Croker hasnt rated serious mention as a contender for NSW State of Origin.The Raiders skipper has been widely criticised for his defensive game but has improved markedly in 2016, according to Stuart.He has enjoyed one of his best seasons this year, and inspired his side to a 26-22 victory over the Warriors in golden point on Saturday to push them into the top four.Croker scored three tries, including the match-winning effort 90 seconds into extra time, had one try-assist plus five tackle busts and two line breaks.Hes got no greater supporter than myself, Stuart said.I dont understand why, outside of being picked, his name is not even mentioned (given) the consistency Jarrod has shown this year, the aggression hes got in his defence.The former Blues coach said his star centre gets blamed for a lot of the Raaiders errors in defence, but insisted it was not all his fault.ddddddddddddJarrods defence has been so strong all season, he said.Theres other centres in the game that are missing tackles.Theres tries scored down those edges but that happens. Hes in an isolated position and a very tough position to defend but his consistency with every part of the game comes from the way he works off the field.Im really happy.Croker said he paid little attention to his critics or those talking up his chances of a Blues call-up.Im only worried about the people around me and the people in the club, he said.I dont buy into too much outside of that.Everyones entitled to their opinion, Im just happy to do my job and try and help the boys around me do their job.
