I mean take your pick...you could argue that the DC professional sports teams truly have the worst run organizations in the whole country!

Re: MLB thread
 

The talent the Nats have traded away the last couple years is truly amazing. Maybe it works out for them, but as a fan I'd be really sick watching studs like Turner, Harper, and Soto tearing it up for other teams.

Bout sums it up. Despite quadrupling the value of the franchise since they bought it - I guess their finances aren't tight enough to sign homegrown talent to contract extensions. They love doing deferred money deals too which just don't fly with the big names anymore.

It sucks being in this position but I think the Corbin/Strasburg deals have really screwed us. And guessing the new owner/s want a clean slate - they don't wanna be the bad guys to let Soto walk. Good riddance to the Lerners.

S/N - [URL="https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/08/02/nationals-trade-juan-soto-rebuild-thomas-boswell/"]this article by Bos[/URL] is a good read. I ain't gonna be spending any money going to games any time soon but hopefully brighter days are ahead.

Re: MLB thread
 

Shohei Ohtani is the greatest baseball player of all time. Possibly the greatest athlete. Imagine his numbers if he was only pitching or hitting and could dedicate 100 percent of his time towards it. Stuck on a shit team or his stats would be more amazing. 28 years old too.

Re: MLB thread
 

The Mets got in our ass this past weekend.

Great bounce back short-series against the Red Sox. Mini-sweep. And we brought up another rookie, who immediately proceeded to crank one out of the stadium.

Looking like Braves will have to go the long way through the WC. But just get to the dance.

Yankees are driving the wrong direction. Crazy how good they started off, they are still 30 games over .500.

Mets only 5 games behind the Dodgers for best overall record. The Dodgers are just going to be good forever.

Cashman is way past his prime and Boone never had a prime. The team is built to beat up on most teams and lose to the good ones. I will say that since Stanton has been hurt our lineup has been hurt. We need him and Sevy back healthy to have any chance to win it.

Love getting Benintendi and Effross. Hated the Montgomery trade. Horrible so far. Know Bader brings value, but he's currently hurt and good starting lefty pitchers don't grow on trees. They really do have issues currently. Shutout the last 2 games. Ugh. Rant over lol.

Re: MLB thread
 

Braves did what they absolutely had to do the 1st 2 games.

With Scherzer and deGrom next, gonna be tough to get 1 more win, let alone 2. Need to get at least 1 more to have decent odds to possibly win the division.

Man, if Scherzer and deGrom are healthy come playoff time, good luck trying to win that series.

Re: MLB thread
 

Mets are getting bit hard by the injury bug right now. If they can manage a split with this Braves series it would be a big win.

Re: MLB thread
 

Braves are surging. Getting Ian Anderson out the rotation key.

And guess who coming

Mike Soroka injury update: Braves righty strikes out eight in first minor-league rehab start

Soroka, the 2019 NL Rookie of the Year runner-up to Pete Alonso, threw 174 2/3 innings with a 2.68 ERA that season. That was the year MLB set all sorts of home run records and Soroka, with his heavy sinker, led qualified pitchers with a 0.72 HR/9. He has a career 2.86 ERA in 37 starts and 214 innings spanning 2018-20.

Re: MLB thread
 

Odorizzi vs. Scherzer went exactly as expected. Game was already over after 1.5 innings.

Re: MLB thread
 

deGrom is otherworldly good.

It's fucking nuts. It's an accomplishment just to not strike out.

Re: MLB thread
 

Hats off to the Braves they definitely outplayed the Mets in this series. It’s going to be a fun stretch run.

Re: MLB thread
 

Bigly comeback by the Mets over Philly

This Vaughn Grissom kid for Atlanta is out of control. Age 21, his first 50 plate appearances he’s got 21 hits.

Wow[/quote]They are tied now for 1st as of today. Atlanta is super hot currently. Going to be a great stretch run for the division title.

Welp

Welp. Mariners took Braves to the woodshed the past 2 days. And Marlins remembered they fucking suck.

Jansen is a big, fat, bitch.

Why would a Braves fan hate the Tigers?

Re: MLB thread
 

Orioles played well above expectations, Rutchsman is the real deal, heard on radio he leads catchers in run saved by a good margin. He sees the ball so well at the plate.

Elias said hes going to open the check book this offseason .. hopefully we compete next year and this wasnt a mirage. One of the best teams in baseball since April so thats a long time.

Dodgers are 103-44. That's so good, it doesn't even look right.

Re: MLB thread
 

Regardless of my hate of the Yankees, Aaron Judge seems to be a really great person, grounded and it’s been nice to see him make this run. I hate cheaters like A-Rod, Barry Bonds, Sammy Sosa and McGuire..like to see A.J. grab the title

Re: MLB thread
 

[quote=sdskinsfan2001;1322622]Dodgers are 103-44. That's so good, it doesn't even look right.[/quote]

Yeah that's crazy. But I think the Mets and Braves are both capable of taking them down.

Re: MLB thread
 

It's a dog fight in the NL East with a possible decisive 3 game series this weekend.

Re: MLB thread
 

Have to say Nats fans. I love the way Austin Voth has been pitching for the O's. 5-3 with a 2.77 era. Thanks for letting him take the MARC up to Camden

Re: MLB thread
 

All fuckin rise. Greatest single season in the history of the sport.
