CRobi21 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Two players in the top 5. Crews up there without even having signed his pro contract yet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait until they are 3 and 4 when De La Cruz graduates in a few days. I understand the concern around Green. He’s still young and appears to be a hard worker, so I still hold out hope for him. In his class, Druw Jones and Temarr Johnson have dropped to the bottom of the top 100. So there have been struggles at the top of that draft with the exception of Holliday.

Riggo#44 Posted July 14, 2023 Author Share Posted July 14, 2023 It seems like last year's draft was bad, overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Once Ovie retires in a few years I could see Crews becoming the new face of DC sports, unless Sam Howell somehow becomes a dude. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Wow, guess this team is pretty decent other than that Reds slump. And I got laughed at for saying I expected 70 wins out this club. Again, maybe it's just me as a loyal [b]Season Ticket Member[/b] but I want to support teams that are winning, with my financial support. I don't want to see a team regularly finish last place. The pieces are definitely there for something solid in the future, only a matter of when they all congeal. That said, my tolerance for losing is not very high.

Did Alu get called up as the 27th man tonight? They are taking it really slow with Cole Henry (which makes total sense). First time pitching in a month, and first quality pitching effort since being up in AA. With Candelario hurt, I bet you're right on Alu. Wish he wasn't hurt, as Alu, Lipscomb, and House all deserve promotion anyways. 2 hours ago, Riggo#44 said: Yes, finally. He's been in a bit of a slump.

Riggo#44 Posted July 16, 2023 Author Share Posted July 16, 2023 Leadoff CJ is the best CJ. Over the last month he's slashing .342/.388/.519, for a .902 OPS. 10 SB, 0 CS. He's hitting an unsustainable.424 BABIP, but hard hit rates and lone drive rates are climbing. Good things to come! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to hit him anywhere else this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Bought tickets for next Sunday’s game. First Nats game for my three kids! We’re planning on arriving and entering the park right when gates open. Anybody have an idea what the concession situation is 90min before the game starts? It’ll be around noon so the kiddos will need some grub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ball Security Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 So far the Nats signed their 6-10 draft picks at 20k a piece. They are now $1.1M+ in slot savings that can be used on their top three picks if necessary. They’ll likely get a some more savings on 4 and 5. They signed 13th rounder Liam Sullivan LHP to $150k. Most of the savings will likely go to Sykora to get him to 2-2.5M. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not expecting much now. At least I doubt they acquire anyone who cracks the top 20 prospects. Hopefully they get an unexpected useful piece like Thomas.

Ball Security Posted July 18, 2023 Share Posted July 18, 2023 Why not take Gore out on a high note after the sixth and 93 pitches. I definitely have more faith with this bullpen to get nine outs with a four run lead than eight outs with a two run lead. On the bright side, Keibert’s bat might be waking up.

I don't have a problem with it. Up by 4, want Gore to work deeper into games, it's not bad from a developmental point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll put this way, running Gore out there in the seventh isn’t something a team like Tampa would do. Edited July 18, 2023 by Ball Security Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more about Gore, honestly. And which of those 7 guys not named Finnegan or Thompson do you really trust? This season is more about development than anything else. It's not the worst decision.
