Phillies will score at least 2 here. It's that kind of year. Any and everything remotely possible is gonna go against us Every. Single. Time. But hey at least that curse is gone.

Supply and demand... unfortunately Machado will be available too, but that could actually play into the Nats favor. If one team goes and grabs Machado, perhaps a division rival would be keen to overpay for Harper to match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 It really SUCKS that they couldn't cash in during the window from '12-17.' Looks like they're probably headed back to the '05-'10 years. DAMN! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they're probably headed back to the '05-'10 years. DAMN! I'm not so sure. We still have top notching starting pitching. Robles and Soto are two young studs in the OF. I trust Rizzo to continue drafting/developing. And besides 2015, has Harper really lived up to the hype? I mean, he's been a good player, at times great sure, but the guy was supposed to be Mickey Mantle-esque. Teams have lost better players and gone on to win. The Giants became a dynasty AFTER Bonds retired and Bonds was way better then Harper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted them to win with during that time when he was at the top of his game. I don't what has happened this year and it's probably too late now. As for Bonds, there were probably other reasons why Bonds was better than Harper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Why Bonds was better isn't the point, the point is teams have gotten rid of better players and gone on to win. And I trust our organization to keep us competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRobi21 Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 This has been a dead team. Sleepwalking for 2 months basically. THAT is THE character win of the season so far. If there was ever gonna be an igniter, that was it right there. Finally some energy! You HAVE to take off after tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thebluefood Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 Happy to salvage a win against the Phillies - very happy, indeed, especially since it featured some hopeful signs. -Actual, honest to God, clutch hitting toward the end of the game -Bouncing back after a rain delay killed an early game rally -Murphy's first multiple hit game of the 2018 season -Harper not only getting a multiple hit game but driving in a run and scoring three times -Soto extending his hitting streak (he was even intentionally walked last night!) -Bullpen coming through toward the end to keep the team in the game A sweep would have been a disaster, even with a series against a so-so Rays team coming up (their L10 record looks much better than ours right now). Hopefully last night's win gives them some desperately needed mojo going into the next series - especially since they're gonna be on the road for the next week.

He has an 11.4% hard hit rate, which is really bad. He is staying away from soft contact, remaining at his career norm, his medium contact is a 71.4%. He isn't squaring balls up yet--not sure if that's a timing thing, or an injury thing. Also, Solis has been horrible his last couple of times out. Might need to use Collins and Matt Grace more.

So let's revisit how he's doing in a month or so. In the meantime, any progress is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, the post you replied to was ridiculous and an overreaction. 05-10? They definitely are not heading back there. As far as your comment. I think they are positioned fine with or without him. I think with him, they are a better team overall and it's hard to believe otherwise. But having Soto and Robles as current/future outfielders is a good problem to have. Questions will be around 1st 2nd, and C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, aren't they better without him and with much more financial flexibility to keep the rest of the core and build around Robles and Soto?? That's what I would think. Having $35-45M per season available to supplement your star players is pretty useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would look insane like some of the recent Yankees and Dodgers payrolls. But then again, say they finally break free of MASN and get their own local deal. That's more than enough annually to cover a Harper and probably a Rendon long-term plus some smaller deals. Tampa Bay with their awful rev gets like $80 annually from Foxsports down there.
