The Washington Nationals Thread: The Future is Near!

Weird way to protest as he could have petitioned the league outside of the game to get clarification on Edwards putting his foot down and Doolittle grazing the mound with his foot. Gotta be gamesmanship. 

 

What ever happened to that reliever, I think was with the Marlins, that would bunny-hop 7’ off the mound and throw? They ever stop that guy?

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

 

The really unfortunate part about the timing of Sanchez’s injury is that Fedde was pretty close to earning a rotation spot from Hellickson anyway... now we’ve got our 4 hurt and our 5 looking terrible, so that’s two spots to fill. Maybe Ross is better than Hellickson right now if you stretch him out and get him back on a rotation routine... he’s been not so great from the pen though .

Really needed to win Max's start. This one was over before it started.

I came into the Mets series thinking just go 3-3 against them and the Cubs. So we just need to take 1 against the Cubs to accomplish that. Winning the series with Doolittle unavailable today and Hellickson on the mound on Sunday will be tough. Just don't get swept...

 

The winning can start next week against the Mets and Marlins. 

 

Mission accomplished for me. Next two series are crucial.

I'm liking these pitching matchups for the Mets series ... 

 

Corbin vs Gagnon (relief pitcher just promoted to rotation) - Corbin diced up the Mets last week

Fedde vs Wheeler - Nats are typically really good against Wheeler, would be good to get the kid some significant run support

Scherzer vs Degrom - time to get Scherzer a win guys

Strasburg vs Matz - Stras has been dialed in lately

 

Need to take 3 out of 4 vs the Mets going into the weekend with 4 games against the Marlins. 6 out of 8 isn't out of the question and will go a long way toward righting the ship.

6-2 should be the floor for the next 8 with the pitching match ups and the bats getting hot

It's the floor if we're going to have a chance to seriously make moves to get back to .500 (then who knows...). One big caveat to this is that the Marlins are playing decent ball right now, they just swept the Mets. Not sure if that says more about the Marlins or the Mets though...

Mets got swept by Marlins

 

Can def sweep Mets and get back into this thing. 

Speaking of the Mets:

A bad season continues to get worse for the New York Mets.

The team announced Monday that outfielder Yoenis Cespedes fractured his ankles in an accident on his ranch, likely ending his season.

 

Cespedes was in an accident on his ranch and fractured his ankles. He is being evaluated in NYC.

— Mike Puma (@NYPost_Mets) May 20, 2019

 

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.
