We’re still an 87-90 loss team, not a team anywhere close to finishing at or above 500. Our 3-5 hitters in the lineup are the absolute worst in baseball, and if CJ’s in a slump, it’s next to impossible to score more than 3 runs against most teams. I’m looking forward to some of our prospects being called up. Hopefully it’s sooner rather than later, because this team is borderline unwatchable at offense at the moment.

I was hopeful they could get close to 500 this year. But if they keep rolling with Robles and Gallo and Meneses and expect something different. That's not happening. See today Meneses and Robles are out. Gallo both playing and not batting at the very bottom of the order is amazing. Like a giant **** you to everyone batting after him.

Nats Park is expensive but when I went to Philly and Pittsburgh, their food was overpriced too. For Nats Park getting a half smoked from Ben's is an easy win. Camden Yards I liked the bacon on a stick or the crab fries. Philly had nothing when I was there like 10 years ago. A Tony Luke's and it was terrible. So bad my cousin insisted we go into the city after for a "real cheesesteak". I think I only got a hot dog and drink at Wrigley. Price sucks.....everywhere unless it's a special weekday discount thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I think Nats Park belongs in the top 10, and concessions are expensive AF everywhere where you are captured for multiple hours. I personally think Ben's Chili Bowl is overrated as far as the food (it is a DC institution for cultural reasons), but it's still pretty darn good for ballpark fare. I really like Roaming Rooster and Haute Dog and Fries (I go to the one in Alexandria somewhat regularly). I go to the Rocklands by my house way too much, so I don't get it when I'm at the ballpark, but it's good BBQ. The places to get beers also have really good variety and quality. Nats Park also has a Shake Shack, but as far as it being called "a beloved New York City institution" for the Citi Field entry, I guess I thought Shake Shake was an above average burger joint that some VC firm invested a **** ton of money in so it could become the Chipotle of burgers.

Always A Commander Never A Captain Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 You guys see the rumor about Corbin being moved to the bullpen when Gray comes back, does it actually have legs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make sense. Drop Rainey. Corbin takes that spot where he makes an appearance every few weeks. Davey only uses seven BP guys anyway. Cavalli may be ready around the same time as Gray. (He’s already pitching in Florida). I hope they can keep Parker up. He’s earned it. Perhaps someone will offer something nice for Williams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuck saying it must mean something. We'll see. Davey's comments last night after their loss weren't anything you'd be able to take something from. You'd think he was talking about a different pitcher all together. Might as well give it a shot and see if he can do it. I agree with letter Rainey go.... along with a few others who can't hit worth ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 twice today they had a chance to do something and Gallo struck out. Let him go. Bring up Wood. They've lost 9 or 11. I think that's mostly since bringing Gallo back from IL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmirOfShmo Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Rosario batting 2nd is just stupid. Gallo w/ another 2 Ks & 0-4. Winker got hosed in the 8th on a horrible 3rd strike call. And 1-7 RISP. There's no consistent bat in the lineup. CJ batting sub ,210 in day games. Oof... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ready to move on from Gallo/Meneses in the meat of our order By bringing up Wood, and I agree with that 100%, having both Winker and Rosario is redundant. The problem is that they are two of the better hitters on the team currently. You can’t get them both in the lineup if you plan on playing Young and Thomas. I don’t know if anyone will trade for one of those two in late May. Robles and Young are redundant. Robles doesn’t really have a place here anymore. Senzel and Lipscomb (who is hitting in Rochester) were redundant. Let’s say someone wants to trade for Winker, you could go: Abrams 6 Rosario DH Thomas 9 Wood 7 Garcia 4 Senzel/Vargas 5 Gallo 3 Ruiz/Adams 2 Young 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Was listening to the Nats Chat podcast and they were suggesting it is time for James Wood to be called up. Wouldn't mind seeing what the future has to offer right now. Especially when 1) the offense looks nonexistent at times and 2) any kind of "service time manipulation" is moot as the date has already passed They think Wood might be called up in June Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 today is their day off. Wood should be announced today if they want to do it right. The things Davey said they want him to work on and improve, he has. Unless the coaching in DC is so bad for hitters that he regresses, the odds he'd be as bad as Gallo is very unlikely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 Still too early to call it a fleecing but I feel more comfortable with the trade Now if only the Lerners would spend and KEEP talent here 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
