Nats have team meeting after falling to Fish

By Bill Ladson / MLB.com

WASHINGTON -- After watching his team lose to the Marlins, 6-5, at Nationals Park on Sunday afternoon, manager Jim Riggleman held a team meeting with his players, because he felt they didn't give it their best effort for nine innings.

Instead of Riggleman doing the talking, he had his coaching staff express the feelings of the manager. The meeting lasted 30 minutes.
