  1. helo - to answer your question definitively, if the astros gave washington their 3rd, 4th, and 5th best system prospects, most astros fans would be furious, and that would be far and away the best offer washington would hear.

    since you compared that to "letting him go for nothing", i would assume that's exactly what they're going to get for him - nothing.  when he leaves after the season.

    The Yankees have no interest in him, they may engage to drive up the price for other teams but that's it. I just can't imagine why the Nats would give him up for non-elite prospects. The Nats have talent they just haven't performed, and the bottom line is they have 2 months to make up 6 games for a playoff spot. Far crazier things have happened. 

    yep, the 11th best team in the national league has nothing to worry about.

  3. the way bregs walks he might make the most sense.  of course right now he makes the most sense at 1-2-3 (except he's also been ice fucking cold with the exception of one swing in denver).  regardless of where you move springer, you need him to hit to win while our guys are hurt.  moving him to 4th doesn't all of a sudden "solve" our offensive issues.

    i would look into something like springer-kemp-bregman-gattis-yuli-reddick-marwin/davis-stassi-tucker.  tucker needs to play every day or we need to send him down.

    springer, bregs, and yuli have all been ice cold since the asb.  altuve was too actually.  his double in colorado made me think he was gonna come out of it.  sigh.

  4. btw, there were times last year and earlier this year when we just couldn't hit, especially at home.  i know it seems like we're 2-10 since the all-star break, but it only seems that way.

    like i've said again and again - either our stars figure out what's going on at the plate, and we'll be fine.  or they won't, and it won't matter.  trading for a bat solves nothing.

  5. Episode IX was originally supposed to heavily feature Fisher, Lucasfilm President Kathleen Kennedy confirmed to Vanity Fair

    well this is good, then.  the worst parts of episodes 7/8 were when hamill/ford/fisher were in scenes.  they're just not good actors (either anymore, or never were), and their scenes were awkward.  if she was still alive and i heard this movie would "heavily feature" her i would think about whether i even wanted to see it.

    Worse, we will be watching a show and she will ask me to rewind it or have me explain the last 5 minutes of what just happened because she was on her phone. 

    when she isn't paying attention, i pause it.  drives her crazy.

  7. advanced analytics and the shift kills a guy like harper, especially in an nl lineup where he's really the only "dangerous" batter (while murphy struggles, etc).  i guarantee you before a weekend series, every pitcher in the other clubhouse knows exactly what the bryce plan is, has discussed it, and has seen video on what to do.  if he played in the 70's, he could've been an all time great.

    maybe wherever he goes next will help him make some adjustments.

    Beth is getting in Betty territory on Mad Men.

     

    I was really hoping she shot herself...IDGAF how much harder you think Momma’s death was for you, bitch.  It wasn’t easier for anyone.

    i totally forgot this.  while i was watching, the instant we see in the truck that she's still alive, i was thinking, "i'm gonna go on the yellowstone thread and ask if i was the only one hoping she did it."

    Van is absolutely not a "murder" situation assuming the girl actually tells the story as it happened.  But I get that it will complicate things.

    At worst I think Kayce is guilty of failure to report a crime, and illegal disposing of a body.   although the penalty for the body disposal can be pretty harsh- its a felony in most states

    i didn't mean it like that.  maybe i should have said "killing" or "homicide".  i get that it was justified and he's not going to be looked at as a 'murderer' or likely be charged in either scenario.  both van guys shot at him (although one was while he was being chased).  i just liked how those two events are overlapping because of the deputy and the gun swap.
