  1. It's always the same. Last week, we had no chance. Now he wants Mulligan so that he can later say that he was right that we should've tanked, or that he was right that we should've gone all-in.
  2. I tend to think these things are all overrated, and some guys come along slower and faster than others, but at least a tiny bit of concern is warranted.
  3. Once again, thanks for the nice job on the scouting reports. Just in case you run out of things today, is it possible to get a quick synopsis of the overslot/under-slot amounts? It's become about as important as the draft picks themselves.
  4. Probably impossible to explain without inside information. They could genuinely like some of the low-cost guys, and the savings is just a bonus. If Schaffer provides enough savings to sign the other overslot, it might be well worth it. FWIW, I was not impressed with the draft, but there is a huge amount of variance past the top-10.
  5. For the BP, I'm keeping Chapman, Whitlock, Slaten, Guerrero, Moran, Watson and Bello. Gray, Suarez, Tolle, Early and Bennett as starters. Then what becomes of Sandoval? If Watson was the odd man out, and I am not convinced he is, there has to be a trade market for him. He has a 3.31/3.86 ERA/FIP with a 32/11 K/W in his past 35.1 IPs. He might be better than anyone in the Nats' BP.
  6. We were 2-3 before today. There is a 50% you can be 2-3 or worse, or 3-2 or better. IRT to road extras, we were 6-4 in 2024. Add 1-8 to that and we are 7-12. I don't think there is anything else there besides normal variance. The Yankees are 1-4 in extras on the road this year.
  7. I agree that we need to divest the Rule 5 guys for whatever we can get.
  8. No way you demote Rivera after the game he had on Saturday.
  9. How many days ago was he quoting stats about how we had no chance?
  10. We're not likely to win the next 68 in a row. We will occasionally be shut down.
  11. But he allowed a HR to a probable HOF player. Doesn't that mean his career is over?
  12. Probably on an innings limit. It's unfortunate, but it makes sense to me.
  13. I like him, but he's a Cincy regular with 2+ years left. If Cincy decides to call it a day (8 back of WC-3), he could be attainable, but it'll cost us a good bit more than lottery tickets. Certainly more diverse than Adell.
  14. He's a good player, and I'd be glad to have him, but I think fans are under-estimating the aging curves. He'd be with us through age 37. The number of 2026 players with an fWAR of 1.5 season-to-date: 33 -4 34- 3 35- 2 36- 1 37- 0 There is a pretty good chance we will have a kind of average 2B starting as soon as next year. At a pretty fancy price.
  15. Mostly the same as always. I wouldn't object to adding another RP, but the BP is doing pretty well. I'd have my eye on a RH slugger to platoon with Yoshida, but I can wait. I'm still looking for Adell.
  16. Run differential wins, We were +15 in the last 6 games of June and +25 July MTD.
  17. Coloumbe had a 0/7 K/W in his last 7 starts. Watson has a 3.31/3.86 ERA/FIP over his last 35.1 IPs, with multiple inning capability.
  18. The optimist in me really wants to believe that RS fans pay at least enough attention to know roughly what our record has been over the past five years.
  19. They need to just concede that they cannot fix him during the regular season. Get him an opened and platoon the opener based on the opponent. Then NYM seems fairly lefty-slanted, so Rivera might be a good opener. Against more righty-ish teams, maybe Guerrero.
  20. It's between the ears. BB players are creatures of habit and superstition. Changes to their routine spooks them. Not all of them, but not a small amount. Just for fun, take a look at the discrepancy of closers in non-closing situations.
