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 was only off by ONE win regarding Scherzer’s first season with the Nats.
He went from being 18-5 with a 3.15 ERA in Detroit in 2014, to going 14-12 with a 2.79 ERA in Washington in 2015. He’s improved his W-L pct. since then as the team got better - til this season when they are spinning their wheels again.
Hope that contract was worth it Max. Cause you ain’t gonna get your ring in DC.
You’re right - they should call themselves the Washington Senators. Absolutely.
Oh...
And go Red Sox!!!
