Commander -JB- Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 I’m regards to Stras and him being 31 entering free agency. He seems to be just getting comfortable with who he is as a pitcher. I can see him pitching well into his mid-late 30’s. Jack Morris pitched a 10 inning CG shutout in game 7 of the WS at age 36. I really believe that Stras has plenty left in the tank. Pitched the most innings of any starter this season and deep into the World Series with zero sign of wear & tear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With his secondary stuff he can throw 93 and still be a front-line starter. He was touching 95 in the playoffs. He never once hit 97, that I'm aware of. Might be a reason for his health this year 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warhead36 Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 I think Stras will resign pretty quickly but Rendon could be a while. I wonder where Cole signs and for how much. Could set the standard for Ps and really the rest of FA in general. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 It's so weird how everyone forgot this team was supposed to be great just because they had a bad start. Once they got healthy, they actually managed to meet regular season expectations. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riggo#44 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Phillies fans in April: CBP South! We're die hard! Nats fans have no passion! We're gonna win the WORLD SERIES! Phillies fans in October: Why are you so mean?! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander -JB- Posted November 6, 2019 Share Posted November 6, 2019 (edited) Phillies fans want it to be about Harper so bad lol They love acting as if Nats fans are overlooking the fact that we won the WS strictly because we are still so mad that Harper spurned us Ha! What a crock of ****! Philly fans questioning why a city would boo anyone?! Really?? Philly?! If Nats fans wanted to boo Bryce Harper because he chose to sign with a division rival, so be it! Nats fans have been fine with him leaving for so long. I think what Phillies fans fail to realize is that Harper leaving was as much to do with a pure baseball decision than just being outbid. They wanted to point and laugh so badly! Like Ha! We got him. Yep, you outbid yourself because Rizzo clearly had no real intention on keeping Harper unless it was on a team friendly deal. We win the World Series! Who gives a **** about Bryce Harper? I guarantee that the people talking all the Bryce Harper crap when we won the WS weren’t even true Nats fans!

I think the fact that the bullpen never got right prevented people from taking us seriously even after the turnaround. Our bullpen was historically bad just about all season. It just didnt matter in the end. I wouldnt bank on any team being able to replicate that in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted November 6, 2019 Author Share Posted November 6, 2019 Another Nats Won, Astros didn't lose article from Fangraphs: https://blogs.fangraphs.com/will-harris-played-well-didnt-get-rewarded/ TL;DR: In fact, no one allows home runs on low cutters. Since 2008, between the regular season and the playoffs, there have been 1,741 cutters thrown by a righty to a righty in the rough location of Harris’ pitch that resulted in fair contact. Of those, a whopping two (not counting Harris’) went for home runs. If you’d prefer to include foul balls, the sample is even larger, but the results the same: batters have made contact with 3,160 low and away cutters, of which again two became home runs. And then this gem. Read this over and over and over again... The Nationals never relinquished the lead, tacking on insurance runs in the eighth and ninth, and sharked their way to a World Series title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notably... in like 80% of MLB parks that is a long & loud foul ball. If the fence was 3 feet further back it would have sliced foul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After years of dealing with Storen, Kozma, Vic Carrapazza, Sandoval and Posey, 2016 Game 5, Matt Wieters and the Horrible, No Good, Very Bad inning in 2017...to finally break through. Not only break through, but beat one of the best teams in MLB History. It feels amazing. It's something I will never forget...and probably never shut up about. We are Champions. Forever. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of credit to Davey and the Big 3 for managing around the deficiencies. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
