Wow I completely forgot about this. This was such an all time Strasburg moment.
in honor of his retirement lets all remember one of my favorite moments of 2020 baseball when strasburg was ejected from the stands in a game he was not playing in for yelling at the umps

The Nats are one more series win away from needing to be on every “in the hunt” graphic and that is absolutely hilarious. Great win.

So the Diamondbacks DFA’d their high price lefty veteran starter back in April because he was terrible and just decided to eat the contract and still made the World Series. @ Nationals - I found the blue print.

A Washington National that did not make the All-Star team is slashing .297/.402/.534 this season. The only players in the MLB slashing .300/.400/.500 or better are all All-Stars: Christian Yelich, Cody Bellinger, and Jeff McNeil. Should Juan Soto be an All-Star?

The Washington Nationals are wasting away the prime years of Max Scherzer, Stephen Strasburg, Anthony Rendon, Sean Doolittle, and the last good years of Ryan Zimmerman. Those players deserve so much better than what the Nationals have provided them in the last few years.

I’m not even joking at this point - it’s an absolute embarrassment that a player can go 6-10 with a homerun and two doubles, which basically leads the team in XBH, and then get benched for 5 straight games.

Honestly, one of the better Nats’ FA signings in the past decade, but arguably the best since 2019. Best of luck in Chicago, Jeimer!

Demoting Luis Garcia feels like blaming a player for doing exactly what his coach tells him to do. What in Luis Garcia’s current output doesn’t match Darnell Coles’ philosophy?. Garcia is a scapegoat. Coles needs to go join Corey Dickerson.

I would still offer Juan Soto $440M+. Soto, Crews, Wood in the outfield. House, Abrams on the Left Side. That’s a phenomenal core. I need it to happen.

Corbin gets a loud ovation as his day is done in the 8th after just 80 pitches. Been a looooong time since we’ve seen him pitch like that. Ovation was deserved.

I’m only half joking, but I’m pretty sure Dylan Crews would be just as good if not better than some currently rostered Nationals players.

I’m really starting to think Victor Robles’ resurgence isn’t a fluke. Some of his takes at the plate are flat out impressive, and now he steals second base. Not to mention he’s hitting over .400 to start the year.

You can’t even blame Rizzo at this point. The Lerners are just blatantly hurting this team and they have been basically ever since the World Series. Sell the team and get out. No defending their actions.

Knew this was coming but still absolutely gutted to see it end like this. Don’t think I’m being biased when I see Stras is one of the biggest “what if he stayed healthy” in baseball history. My favorite player his entire tenure.
Breaking: Stephen Strasburg is set to retire, according to three people familiar with the matter. There are tentative plans for a press conference at Nationals Park on Sept. 9. Story with @barrysvrluga:

Not that there was any question on what the Angelos family was like, but this just helps paint a clearer picture. No surprise the Nats have had such a hard time with MASN lol. Guy got suspended for doing his job.
Here's the clip of Kevin Brown's pregame comments on the Orioles' recent record against the Rays ahead of a series finale on July 23. Sources tell AA these comments led to Brown's current indefinite suspension from Orioles' broadcasts.

If JOHN ANGELOS can sell the Orioles quickly and quietly for a fair price, it is long past time for the Lerner Family to complete the sale of the Nationals. ✍️ @TheCoachMoose .

Trust me, I can’t wait for the day to come cause I will 1000% be at his debut. But please do not screw this up by rushing him to the majors. I’m thinking middle of the 2024 season at the absolute earliest.

11) Last but not least, regardless of what happenes tonight, this team had an outstanding season. Fighting back from a 19-31 hole to make the postseason is unheard of. All season long this team refused to quit. Be proud of this team no matter the outcome tonight.

The Nats rotation:

I think the Trevor Williams starter experiment is about done. The Mets found some real success with him as a reliever. He’s good for spot starts here and there, but his value is a reliever and that’s where the Nats should use him in 2024.

Ngl this Lane trade return seems like a huge win. Very impressed. Go all in and trade Floro and Finnegan and this deadline is an A++++.
There’s still time, but only trading Harvey and Winker would be a massive disappointment of a trade deadline. Again.

So as it stands:. C – Keibert Ruiz.1B – Dominic Smith.2B – Luis Garcia.3B – Jeimer Candelario.SS – CJ Abrams.LF – Lane Thomas.CF – Victor Robles.RF – Joey Meneses. Be - Vargas.Be - Call.Be - Garrett.Be - Adams/Pineda/FA. DH probably used as an “off day” to rotate guys in & out.

Getting Keibert Ruiz for $6.25M AAV for 8 years is a win. I really don’t want to see any takes about how it’s a risk. Every contract is a risk. Look at Strasburg and Corbin. At least if this one hits the fan, it doesn’t cost $40 million a year.
