didn't somebody actually fall asleep in the Nationals dugout just a few years ago? lol

Kelly had not pitched in 5 days. I'm not sure why you wouldn't try to get more than 29 pitches out of him. I liked the fact that he brought him in early. An unexpected change. I would have liked to see him try to get at least one more inning out of him.
-
I agree with you that one of these two could help us out in the bullpen. Give us a guy out there who could actually give us more than one inning of potential pitching when he gets to the mound. With fewer and fewer pitchers even able to get to the 7th inning, one or even two fairly reliable arms out there that can be brought in to help out would be great. Johnson has overcome a lot in his career. i think that he would be happy to have any spot on the roster. I like the fact that he is a strike thrower.

I really am a defense first guy believe it or not. I think that part of the plan for this season was to have a healthy bounce back year from sandoval. Maybe it will still happen but that remains to be seen. I really think that they failed to address the need for run producers. If it was just a case of replacing one bat, it would be an easy fix. It isn't. I understand that it is not about just hitting home runs for sure but it is a lot more than feilding a time primarily comprised of light although good hitters. It just takes more to produce runs. I understand entirely what all of these guys have done in prior years. It was also done with a big time power bat in the middle of their lineup which ultimately affected how all of the guys around him were pitched to. I hope for sure that I am wrong and that everything works out.
-
I still think that they really miss that real power bat in the middle of that lineup.
-
I think he looked damn good. It helps me knowing that we have our real ace in Sale. Price's cutter looked so good and his velocity was fine. If I picture him as an ace minus, he looks real good.
-
I think that you have to find a way to utilize Johnson. One of the two - Pomeranz or Johnson - would solidify our bullpen. i think that we still miss the real bat in the lineup. The big bat to help out Mookie. Pedroia getting injured is and was inevitable. Losing his real backup Hernandez sucks. If they sort things out, they'll keep battling away.
-
They need another bat. A real bat. Include Johnson, and there is enough pitching.
-
big movement on the Price cutter
-
I agree with you for sure about the potential of over using some of these so called small ball techniques. Good managers just have to be able to recognize when the time is right to try to something different to help their team. I think that over coaching can actually be more harmful to a team than no (basically) coaching.
-
I liked everything i read about what Sale had to say about Price. Hope he gets it done.
-
It is good to have options and I think that we all know how it works. Personally, I actually agree with some of the option related moves that they make. I don't know what to make of the Johnson situation though. It seems as though having a pitcher who throws strikes at such an excellent rate, might be something that you look at and say - we need to find a place for him. Between Johnson and Pomeranz, quite a bit of help at least in the bullpen could be utilized.
-
Johnson has overcome a lot of adversity to get where he has gotten. Just a few years ago, he really looked ready to step into the rotation. Good for him! Great control - great pace of play - great curveball -
-
i understand what people do here. I was not talking about you specifically.
-
All of it is so goddamned biased i can't stand to read the news from any site. it makes no difference what your personal views might be. i just want the news without someone trying to shove their opinion down my throat. Same goes for television.
-
And I am just guessing that without seeing an actual IQ, we could debate forever what a genius might be. The people that sound like the geniuses might really not be all the bright when you come right down to it. Also, in New England I think that it is safe to say that that they will take a beating regardless of the moves they do or don't make. Farrell has dealt with all of the s*** slung his way pretty well i think.
-
I agree with this. I'm not sure who that interior defender and rebounder might be. Fultz, Heyward and one more good tough big one and we are on the way.
-
I really like this post Max. What I would add is that good managers will make the moves that look like the obvious ones. They don't always work out but the good ones don't just sit around and assume that if their talent appears on paper to be better than their opponents that they will win just because. I read the whole post too. nice
-
I might be dangerous now with that bold thingy. lol
-
I agree. I have just gotten tired of the haters. Pomeranz isn't the one who put this trade together. I am now watching and reading the Price critics wagging their tails too. i really think that Chris Sale gets it. He was talking about how all people have a voice now since entering the age of twitter. Maybe Pomeranz was more motivated last night. Pretty sure that he is aware of much of what has been said about him lately. His dugout confrontation was right out there as well.
-
If I didn't believe in these things that you are pointing out, the game would hold no interest for me. Reducing it to a simple statistical study with the assumption that most things that happen over the course of a season just occur randomly is a hard concept for me to ever begin to consider. I wonder if I am alone? Wonder what the actual players in general feel about some of the same things that I have been reading about here? Everything has value and everything has a place.
-
I don't think that there is anything wrong with your expectations coming out of the 5 hole at all. The critics want more than they are apt to get. When Pomeranz is on, he is much better than a 5.
-
I saw him in Portland. i would probably never trade him. I just like him!
-
Is that something that can be quantifiably measured? Just a little joke there - if it can - I don't care!

It was an enjoyable season. The first one I have paid much attention to in quite some time. I too am anxious to see what they do during the off season. have to say though that I hope that it doesn't include a play for C. Anthony.
