Cooleyfan1993 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 Lol 69-69. Twitter is blowing up over this ?? is there any other team in the history of baseball who has been .500 this many times in one season?? What is the deal with this?

Popeman38 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 If they could have won by 2, they would be 69-69 with a +69 run differential. Instead, it’s +68. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I know I come off as a loser for this, but the entire 69 joke thing over the past couple days leading up to yesterday got SO irritating. When the official Twitter handle of the team is referencing the joke that ran its course on Twitter like 2 years ago, it seems like maybe we have overplayed that hand. OK, back to your regularly scheduled posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebluefood Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I know, it's a tired, old joke but I need something to justify investing my entire spring and summer to following this wretchedly disappointing team and giving the Lerner Family hundreds of my hard earned money so they could be just that much wealthier than I'll ever be in multiple lifetimes. It ain't gonna be a World Series - it might not even be a .500 season - so I might as well have this sophomoric joke that'll probably end before midnight tonight. That and seeing if Juan Soto will end the season hitting at or better than .300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popeman38 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 MLB team had been 487-0 when leading by 6 entering the 8th inning. They are now 487-1 after the Braves blew a 7-1 lead and lost 9-8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Yeah, that's what sucks more than anything else. Its not like 2015 when the Mets legitimately got hot late and were a good team and took the division. The entire NL East is just crap. Whoever wins it between the Braves and Phils will get wrecked in the NLDS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinswillwin06 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Team fights to the very end. Don't get why they can't hit like this when Max pitches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popeman38 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Davey Martinez, in a MUST win game, PH MAT with 2 outs. In a shocking twist, MAT swings at 3 pitches in the left handed batters box to strike out. ANYONE else on the bench is a bettter option. Hell, Scherzer is a better option. Strasburg is a better option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted September 6, 2018 Author Share Posted September 6, 2018 This year is a bust. I agree that they should keep Davey. Can't keep turning over managers like that. However, he needs to upgrade a few of his main coaches on staff. Unrelated Nashville isn't a bad idea. They are close enough for a direct flight. I still think the Nats should create a new team and own it themselves. Whether that be Nashville, or in WV, or Western PA (Johnstown has an old stadium that should be replaced).

They should build a park at One Loudoun and have their AAA team there. The Hounds were supposed to be an Independent League team (AAA equivalent), the stadium had already been approved, and it would be easy distance for call-ups...

They should just buy the Blue Crabs in SoMd....that team is in an unaffiliated minor league. Plus the stadium is brand new and within 40 mins of Nats Park.

Heard a very solid inside source that said the deal was in place for the Potomac Nationals to come to one loudoun. All terms worked out, due dilagance, everything. But the Lerner's veto'd it. Cant blame them. They saw that less then 5% of people that go to Nats games are from the woodbridge area, but about 30% or higher is from western farifaix / loudoun country area. As much as I wish it would have happened -I cant say they are wrong. I would 100% give up my nats season tickets and go to more minor league games if they were in one loudon.
