Sam Fortier? He is a HS reporter who is a backup to the backup covering the Nats. He was a summer intern at the Post last year. He has about as much connection to the relationship between the Nats, Rendon, & his agent as I do.

Jeff McNeil has 6 HR and 32 RBI for a free falling team. Juan Soto has 14 HR and 52 RBI for a rising team. Yes, McNeil has a higher average, but only 11 more hits. Soto is a vastly superior player...

What a freaking joke. Soto doesn’t make the All Star game, but Jeff McNeil from the Meta does? ****ing ridiculous. NATIONAL LEAGUEReservesC: Yasmani Grandal, BrewersC: J.T.

That play was onside. Not even close. VAR should have been used there...

Trevor Rosenthal signs a minor league deal with the Tigers. He will be throwing 101 and a buzzsaw for them in August, pitching to a sub-1 ERA.

All the good work wasted because Davey decides to have Rosenthal come in with no one hot behind him. Then puts Joe Ross in.

Big. Boy. Win.

Can’t squander man on 3rd nobody out. CANNOT.

So, why are you wasting your time and energy on the smallness of our minds here on ES? Whay aren't you dropping Volbombs and stealing Woj's thunder? You have an opinion and think mighty highly of the. But they are just opinions. You know what they say about opinions? ^----Should be read dripping in sarcasm.

Just go ahead and give him the Cy Young Award now, and admit a mistake was made last year and he should be the only player to win it 4 years in a row.

It's a cycle with Davey. When you do well, he saddles you up and uses you over and over and over until you fail. Then he complains in the media that guys have to get outs, he doesn't know what else to do. Should a manager ever say something like that in the media, much less multiple times in the early season? So far: -Doolittle has been used more to this point in a season than he ever has -Suero is being used for multiple innings in consecutive games (sometimes 5 innings in 3 games) -Rainey was used in 3 consecutive games to begin his MLB career, without anyone knowing how he would respond Barraclough being trotted out for a second inning, and then replaced by an overused Suero (when the beat reporters are tweeting that he looks dead in his warm-up pitches you have a problem). I understand that the pen has been BAD (historically so) to start the year, but Davey plays in a role in how that happened. The relievers had their issues with him last year, and then this spring there were whispers about their use in ST. PC gets fired partially because of how the pen is performing. RP are going to other organizations and thriving - Kelley, Treinen... Dusty wasn't the best manager of the pen, but at least with him and Maddox you knew they were getting the best out of them. With Davey, do you honestly feel like he is both putting the RP in the best position to be successful AND managing the pen the best way it can be managed? I think the obvious answer to both questions is a resounding NO.

Suero is being over used...

Severino ALWAYS had pop. He just couldn't hit for average, and failed to put the ball in play...

Full meltdown mode. Davey won’t do anything until the lead is gone.

And how would America banning any semi rifle have ANY impact on mass shootings conducted, I don’t know, NOT IN AMERICA?!? Additionally, going into an enclosed environment with few egress points is like shooting fish in a barrel. That doesn’t make it tactically well planned, just slightly researched. Velocity. Non-fatal wounds with a 9mm round become fatal with the cavitation caused by the high velocity round. Reducing the velocity of civilian .223 rounds would help.

I don’t understand MLB umps. Strasburg has been DOMINANT and he isn’t getting borderline pitches. Braves RP comes in and throws 4 straight balls that are nowhere close to a strike, then gets 3 consecutive borderline pitches to end the inning. ANY of those called a ball and no one even thinks twice about it because he has been so wild. Meanwhile a SP is throwing BBs and not getting the same calls...

In his defense, that move was 100% a balk. Shoulder and body going home, ball has to go home. Unfortunately, LHP get away with MURDER on pickoff moves ever since Andy Pettite basically shredded the rule book...

4th inning: bases loaded, no runs

We saw 2 years ago, a bullpen is good when the RP have defined roles. Kintzler-Madson-Doolittle were good in the 7-8-9 role. Madson WAS NOT good in the 9th role. Doolittle WAS NOT good in the 8th role. Kintzler WAS NOT good in the 8th or 9th role. Having Suero pitch in the 6th one night, the 6th & 7th the next night, the 8th in his next appearance, the 5th in the one after that never lets a guy get comfortable with his role. There are position players that play best when they play the same position everyday. Move them to a different position, and they think and then go into a funk. Same applies to RP, they want a defined role (obvious that days off alter roles slightly).

So Davey has a rookie, making his second appearance of the season, throw 33 freaking pitches in the 2nd of back to back appearances? Doolittle is rested and available and you hang the season on a rookie working his 2nd inning in the 2nd of back to back appearances? Do you need any more reason to ****ing fire this clown? Oh wait, Wander Suero is asked to pitch 2 innings. Wander Suero isn't the RP to trot out for 2 innings.

Speaking of the Mets: Cespedes was already out after surgery on both his heels last July, and it was entirely possible that he wouldn’t have played in 2019 anyway. The double ankle fracture should more or less obliterate any chances of a return. The Mets currently sit at 20-25, and a season with high expectations from within the organization quickly looks to be going south. This is only going to make the situation look more hopeless.

28 pitches through 3 perfect innings. Way to make the opposing pitcher work.... And Davey sends Hellickson out to hit...

Ridiculous. Enough of this ****, DFA Hellickson. Ross or Fedde can start. Or, there is an All Star sitting out there unsigned...
