May 2019: Nats bullpen is a disgrace
August 2019: after 3 trade deadline additions, Nats bullpen is still a disgrace.

Rizzo's downfall will be wasting the talent on the starting pitching staff because he can't build a bullpen worth a shit.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Dear Braves bullpen: go fuck yourselves. Absolutely pathetic.

Bryce with a walk off grand slam...he crushed that fuckin ball too. Wow!

[quote=Chico23231;1227105]Bryce with a walk off grand slam...he crushed that fuckin ball too. Wow![/quote]Yes he did. Then he sprinted around the bases and had a profanity based celebration with his boys at the plate. Absolutely destroyed the ball. Memorable walk off grand slam.

Screw Bruce Hooper and the Phillies.

Went to the new Atlanta Braves ballpark over the weekend...fucking amazing. Blown away...the whole complex in and around the park is awesome. Get to the game a little early and just hangout. Good time and not a bad seat in the park...like the trend of building everything on top of the action.

I'm a Braves fan. Went out there in 2017 to see a game. Fucking game got rained out but we were still in and around the park until like 1030. It is a pretty awesome setup and nice stadium.

Nats are the best team in baseball right now. What a game tonight.

As a Braves fan and someone who likes the Mariners and loved watching Diaz pitch last year, he can go fuck himself. What a terrible terrible appearance.

Huge 4 game series coming up, plus the Skins 1st game. This is one of those weekends that loving sports is all about.

Idk about best team in baseball, but that comeback was insanity last night. I got home late and turned it on, it was 10-6 with Zim at the plate and the bases loaded. Just unbelievable.

Being a diehard Nats fan, until I see them win a playoff series I can't get too happy. It is like being a Caps fan until they won it. Soto and Rendon have been fantastic as expected this season. I just need to see them make a run

When Bryce turned down their offer...why in the heck didn't they make a solid one to Rendon? Are they gonna let him walk now?

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Rendon is the most undercover superstar in professional sports. And seems like a great teammate. You guys gotta keep him.

+1.

Also ownership is just straight dumbasses. Rendon has only driven the price up this season.

It sends terrible signals that you aren't willing to pay your homegrown players.

At this stage there's no way Rendon doesn't hit FA. You don't wait until just before FA to pay somebody who absolutely deserves to be paid.

Also eff the Lerners for being the richest owners in baseball but not willing to go a dime above the luxury tax.

Well they do have the best record since the end of May...lol. If they don't resign Rendon then screw the Lerner's. You have to keep him no matter what.

I was disappointed when the Nats traded this kid away. Not anymore. Feel bad for the Pirates though, this guy went from All-Star closer to most likely getting Epstein'd once he returns home to Venezuela after getting out of prison.

Go Braves!!! 1st place. A team that actually exceeds expectations. Pretty nice.

Here's to Braves/Nats playing for the NLCS/WS.

Ronald Acuna Jr is something special. I hope he steals one more base...40/40 club at his age is mind blowing

Would be nice but I don't see it happening. The Nats went from hot to not. Our bullpen is still a mess and I don't see them becoming the kind of lockdown pen you need to advance in the postseason.

Congrats to the Braves.

Whatever Bryce. The bat flip in April wasn't personal? please

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Nice to see Pete "Polar Bear" Alonso pass that fraud for the rookie HR title

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Welp NAts got this right?

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Glad we're here but the wild card game is a complete toss up. Nats are hot right now but the only team hotter is the Brewers.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Wow...that sucked

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Welp...

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Not looking good for the Nats

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Wow, what a finish. Felt like I was watching an hourglass empty the first 8 innings. Clutch hit by Soto there. I worry about this team going forward, Max hasn't looked right since he came from the IL. But for one night, we dance.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Awesome...I went to bed and missed it. but thrilled they won....I cant stand the Dodgers and think Brewers would get swept. Nats have a stronger team and could give LA a real challenge

Re: 2019 mlb
 

What an awesome game! Or should I say finish to the game...talk about some flukey stuff to happen to get the win. Nice to see a team I root for get some of the breaks for a change! For fans of the Redskins and Nats, that gave us a reason to smile and something else to think about for the weekend.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

That was epic. This Nats team is just so much fun to watch.

I am going to say this with caution...but this Washington Nationals time kind of reminds me of the 2017-2018 Washington Capitals team that Won the Stanley Cup.

If you all remember, the 2017-2018 Washington Capitals team wasn't really all that powerful during the season and were kind of floundering during the season, but they turned-it-on towards the end of the season and in the Playoffs. Also the 2017-2018 Washington Capitals team had a Fighting Sprit and a sort of Never Say Die attitude. This Washington Nationals team seems to have the same sprit.

I am watching Walker Buehler pitch and he threw a 97 mph fastball and followed it with an 80 mph knuckle curve. How is that even fair? That is unbelievable.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Idk if the Nats have that 2018 Caps feel yet, although they've certainly made it seem like it up until today. But I tell ya, it really takes the sting out of the Redskins being such a huge bag of suck that I have the Nats and Caps to fall back on.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Why after every pitch, does Soto slide up in the batters box, grab his junk, and mug the pitcher down?

A. It's just really weird; and B. It's annoying as fuck!! What is his problem?

Haters gonna hate...
If we finish off Minnesota Im beginning to believe we have a chance against Houston. Our lineup doesn’t stop. If Paxton, Tanaka, and Severino are at their best we can beat em.

Re: 2019 mlb
 

Yessir. I hate the yankers with the best of them. As an Orioles fan I root for the Orioles first and root against the Sox and Yankees next. Since it is October and I will have to wait a decade to root for the O’s in the playoffs I will do the next best thing. If I can watch the Yankees in the World Series and root against them I will be pretty happy. As long as they don’t win.

In reality you know the adage good pitching will beat great hitting. I think you are seeing that in the N.Y.-twins series
