Nationals manager Davey Johnson was in rare form Thursday before a Fourth of July start against the Brewers, having decided that humor was the best way to deal with the team's hitting woes.
He explained his decision to move Ian Desmond to the No. 2 spot in the batting order by saying: "I don't know. Because I'm supposed to do something. I had an epiphany last night about 9:30, and I called Desi and I said, 'Desi, I'm changing something.'"
