"Max ******* Scherzer, Hall of Fame". That should be his plaque - in your face to match his intensity (and insanity). Man I love the sound of that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinfan2k Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 if you didn't already know this is a game changer. Costco sells professional game prints of all sports. I just bought a 16x20 framed nationals world series photo with matting for $40 bucks. They have so much caps stanley cup framed stuff. This is amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted December 29, 2019 Share Posted December 29, 2019 The Athletic is running down the 100 greatest baseball players of all time. Scherzer is number 90. https://theathletic.com/1457086/2019/12/28/the-baseball-100-no-90-max-scherzer/ Quote In 2015, he led the league in starts, complete games, shutouts and strikeout-to-walk ratio. You already know he threw three of the greatest games in baseball history that year. He finished fifth in the Cy Young voting. In 2016, he led the league in wins, starts, innings, strikeouts and WHIP. He won the Cy Young Award. In 2017, he led the league in complete games, strikeouts, WHIP and hits-per-nine innings. He won the Cy Young Award again. In 2018, he led the league in wins, complete games, innings, strikeouts, WHIP, hits-per-nine and strikeout-to-walk ratio. He was second in the Cy Young voting. And last year, despite missing six starts, despite back pain, despite breaking his nose while trying to bunt a ball, despite pitching all season with a broken finger that he tried to keep secret, he finished third in the Cy Young voting and then without his best stuff or health made five postseason starts, ranging from brilliant to gritty, and led the Nationals to the franchise’s first-ever World Series title. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to panic and go crazy like giving Hudson multiple years or overpaying for Will Harris. I’ve seen it too many times, teams spend a boatload of $ on bullpen arms and their bullpen eventually implodes. With that said, I’m sure there will be moves made. Options are limited but who would have thought Daniel Hudson would be closing out game 7 of the WS. We don't have a regular season bullpen. We do have a playoff bullpen with Hudson back.

Bacon Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) We would be 100% risking the health of our pitchers by not expanding the quality and depth of our bullpen. Imagine what last season would have looked like if Doolittle's injuries had started piling up sooner and more severely with us overworking him the way we did.

Rizzo & his crew are smart enough to recognize you cannot expect to survive another year with that bullpen play. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Metalhead Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Not worth losing Robles for either of those two. Nolan is nowhere near as good away from Coors and Bryant would possibly be a two-year rental. Edited January 2, 2020 by Metalhead 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 if including Robles in any package, i want Lindlor from Cleveland Arenado just doesn't make logical sense. Seems stupid that they would trade Robles and others to pay slightly less than for what they could have kept Rendon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan T. Posted January 2, 2020 Share Posted January 2, 2020 (edited) Regarding Robles, here's a long range concern... are he and Soto on the same time frame in terms of contract? Are we going to reach a point where we face the prospect of trying to resign both, ala Strasburg/Rendon? Edit: That's assuming the trajectory to stardom expected of Robles.

Robles has 5. But anyone can play the future "must sign" free agent game. Rendon was used as partial justification to let Harper walk. Soto's name popped up during Rendon discussion among some fans. I'm sure if ownership decides to let Soto walk, they'll use Robles as part of the justification too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 (edited) He was already an honorary National for his contribution to the World Series. Sidebar: my favorite part of the World Series was Joe Buck getting so bored by the smackdown we laid on the Astros in game 2 that he started naming the various family members of Baby Shark. I can't find it on YouTube, but it is the best timeline. Edited January 3, 2020 by Bacon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRobi21 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 He was huge for us when Doo had to be shut down. He'll forever be connected to this franchise. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
