who is the color commentator for the Nats? i like him.

the Os this year are a big question mark for me.

we had injuries last year to key players but had enough studs to prevail.

now, without cruz and markakis, we can afford to lose anyone, which is not a good game plan for 162 games.

i feel like Jones and Pearce are our only legit bats now. and i think peace will tire in the stretch run.
--------------------------------------

just checked the game, Os losing 10-1.

i was supposed to go but had something at work pop up so i gave tickets to 2 co workers . . . sucks for them.

F. P. Santangelo does the color commentary for the Nats and Bob Carpenter does the play-by-play. I know a lot of people get annoyed by F.P. because he does constantly try to coin catchphrases and nicknames, but I think he's pretty good. He definitely brings excitement to the booth, and his insight into the game can be interesting.

Agree, he is solid.

Rendon is a catalyst for the offense, more so than Bryce, werth or an overprice Zimmerman. Defense up the middle helps win championships and I'm worried if I'm in th front office

cashman is shocked the team he put together is 3-6?

dude, you traded for or signed a bunch of guys on the decline of their prime. you added other team's allstars those teams wanted to walk away from.

what did you expect from carlos beltran, stephen drew, chase headely and brian mccann?

those guys were good 2-3 years ago. now they are overpaid under-performing 30 somethings.

this isnt 2005 when 30 somethings could take roids and PEDs to still produce.

cashman is behind the times. unlimited money and resources and he made a roster of re-treads on top of still having to pay 25 mil per to re-treads CC and arod for a few more years. tanaka? that 200 mil investment in which you paid 50 mil just to sign? yeah, gonna need TJS, velocity may never come back.

lol i love it!

i think it is time to get my hands on some bryce harper used and signed stuff.

he could be big time.

Re: Mlb 2015
 

Nats payroll = 164M (5th)

Os payroll = 110M (17th)


I wish the Os had signed/kept:

8M = Andrew Miller
10M = Nick Markakis
[U]15M = Nelson Cruz[/U]

33 M = WS contender.

in such a weak AL east, you figure another playoff run would have brought Angelos another 20 mil at least just for those added games/tv money.

A World series? priceless, the dude would have made bank and would cont to rack in the money for a few years after.

you add those 3 players and the Os are a top 3 team in the AL.

so frustrating, we were building a sustainable long-term winner.

harper really needs to chill on arguing balls and strikes.

every now and then you run into an inconsistent strike zone. but he needs to learn to deal with it better and like the other 17 batters adjusting.

the gif on this pitch seems to be borderline = strike. you cant argue 50/50 strike calls like he does.

the Os have had some serious, way out of the zone strike calls against them and at most, chris davis just shook his head and walked away.

if you act like harper did in this gif .. the ball better be way more outside the zone then it was.

his comments about grienke also make him a douche.


he is turning into a big papi. disgruntled about every strike call. even when it was a strike.
