  1. But it will go as planned.
  2. Who's left in the farm system to give up for an arm? My impression as someone who doesn't follow the farm system super closely is that the string of recent multi-prospect deals have stripped away some of the bulk of the minor league system. Seems like Tucker is basically past the prospect stage, and if Whitley is not good enough to step into a role with the team by then, some of the shine will be off of him as a prospect as well, so who's left to use as bait to pick up an in-demand arm at that point?
  3. Biggest game of the season
  4. As in Helsinki, Sweden
  5. Yeah the nats are going to be in full backs to the wall survival mode. If they lose they’ll be able to tell themselves they still have Strasburg in game 6 and Scherzer in game 7, and if they win it will really fire them up and possibly demoralize the Astros that they couldn’t win against an emergency starter with Cole on the mound. I guess what I’m saying is that this is the biggest game of the season.
  6. angle grinder with a wire wheel attachment, but the wires have to be rusted.
  7. Hopefully he just felt like he was done for the night and not actually hurting in a way that would affect his future availability. Didn’t seem like it watching him in the dugout. There’s definitely something about setting aside your ego and passing the baton that seems like a rare quality, particularly in a starting pitcher. It’s obviously easier to feel good about it since it worked out, but it’s also potentially helpful that he only went through the lineup twice, so getting out when he did has potential benefits of not letting the nationals hitters get another look at him, as well as keeping him fresher for an all hands on deck situation in game 6 and/or 7.
  8. I think he was referring to Black Gideon from Shaggy, not Blake Gideon from Denny’s
  9. Not sure how this fits with the multiple stories that have been written about how Chirinos and JV have fit together so well that for the first time in his career, JV has a personal catcher. Not to mention the fact that AJ Hinch, the former catcher who has always been against the idea of personal catchers, is also on board with Chirinos as JV's personal catcher.
  10. And here I was all ready to contribute to the fake wreath fund
  11. Obviously very early, but Ingram is looking pretty decent so far today
  12. Hey, maybe Cole will re-sign to take care of unfinished business!
  13. Fuck shit god fucking dammit fucking shit
  14. Did he shave his eyebrows off?
  15. Thank fucking god for bregs
  16. And right as I was waiting for the post to go through. Of course.
  17. So excited for Brantley to get a single now and then a groundout from yuli for Zero runs on 2 hits
  18. What the fuck man
  19. Fucking dammit
  20. Let’s. Fucking. Go.
  21. This would be an uphauling mistake as I was told that the biggest french benefit of acquiring Greinke was being able to use him in NL parks in the World Series
  22. Yeah, I suppose what I really meant was "get some offensive production out of DH/Right Field/Catcher", and I figured that of those 3, Yordan is the most likely to get hot during the series. Plus, Reddick is giving us good defense in RF and the catchers seem to be doing a great job with the pitching staff, so we're at least getting SOMETHING from those spots, but no hitting from the DH spot means you're not getting anything from it. I originally had "Work pitch counts on the Nats starters to get into their pen early and often", but your post popped up before I could finish mine, so I'm definitely with you on that. Although the Nats bullpen in the playoffs has been much better than the Nats bullpen in the regular season.
  23. I have no doubt Yordan will be fine in the long run, just gotta lay off those high fastballs and stop expanding the zone so much in general. Whether the break between ALCS and WS (and potentially sitting during any games in the NL park) will be enough to get him reset or not is the question to me.
