I’m in the DC area. I don’t sense panic. Concern, but not panic.
Scherzer has credibility .He’s one of the best pitchers in the game right now. His nickname is blue eye...because he has one blue eye (the other is brown)
Who the heck holds a players only meeting when the ace doesn’t pitch after it?! I guess it was getting pretty desperate.
Ha ha it has worked out so far. Last night’s game was a baseball gods win. Tonight’s game was a lucky baseball thing, not a fundamental baseball win. This team needs to win with fundamental baseball. Trea should be an all-star.
Freegards
Without Strasburg, their starting pitching isn’t very good.
Panic? Too late for that.
Exhibit A: They SUCK.
Exhibit B: Their best player is having his worst season (positive spin: Harper is quietly playing through an injury that’s hobbling him.. negative spin: He’s just not hitting and no one - including himself - knows why ... REALLY negative spin: something else is going with him that’s affecting his swing ...) Either way, he can forget about that mythical $300M contract after this season ....
...I’ve spent 5 years dreaming of him patrolling CF at Yankee Stadium ... now I think they should definitely take a pass on him ... hurts to say, cause I like the guy ...
...BTW, when Schrezer went to the Nats, some wrote about tehir being “shoo-ins” for the next World Series ...
... my take was the following: “Max, get ready to win ERA titles... while going 13-12 in the won lost record (because THAT is the team that you just signed up for. THAT is WHAT THEY DO.).”
Look I’d like the “Nats” a lot better if they’d ditch that made-up name and call themselves The SENATORS, a name that has DC history (and 1 World Series Title) attached to it ...
... OK, I’m out.
Oh - and GO YANKEES!!!!!!!!
I take care of an executive rental house that caters to pro ball players.
(Rangers, Mavericks, Cowboys)
They are often part of the team for only a year and don’t sell a home somewhere else.
A couple years ago Ian Desmond turned down a bunch of money and left the nationals to play for the Rangers for a year. He told me he absolutely hated playing for the Nationals. The management completely sucked, the city sucked, and most of the team sucked.
But ESPECIALLY management sucked. He was a meek mild kind guy but really hated the Nationals Management.
