They wanted Robles and Soto for the future knowing they'd keep Harper or run with Eaton. I don't necessarily agree. We'll never truly know unless we somehow sign Harper to a 10 year deal, which is highly unlikely given the other moves. If he had signed initially, I agree that things may be different so even if he signs now, that doesn't mean things will be handled the same regarding the other players on the team... the dynamic has changed with the offseason moves we've already made. just thinking about it regarding contracts with Scherzer, Stras, Rendon, Turner, Soto, Robles... adding Harper to that changes things.

The dude deserves everything he gets from us, and I'll truly be hurt to see him be traded or released. The guy is absolutely the 1st person on Nats 'Mt Rushmore' and he'll be there forever imho. The hate Zimm gets from some Nats fans in unfathomable. He has been hurt, yes, but that's hardly his fault. When he's healthy, the guy hits. Since that much derided contract extension he's hit .278/.345/.482, averaging 119 games per season. He's really only had one terrible year (.642 OPS in 2016), which he followed with an outstanding .930 OPS. His fielding isn't good, but at 1st, it's passable. Our face now, however, is Scherzer. He will be the 1st person in Cooperstown to don our Curly W. Edited February 25, 2019 by Riggo#44 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank Robinson (granted he's in as a player and not a coach) Pudge Rodriguez Scherzer will likely be the first to play more games as a Nat than with any other franchise.... as much as i'd love to see Zimm there, i agree i don't think he makes it.

CRobi21 Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 And he scored on a pass ball. Corbin got Freddie Freeman to ground out? Go ahead and put him in the ring of honor. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@DCGoldPants Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 I saw the score and had to check the box. No idea who Hoover or Borque are. But they gave up a bunch of runs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a PB on a dropped third strike that lead to most of the runs....like Game 5...****ing Matt Wieners. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a PB on a dropped third strike that lead to most of the runs....like Game 5...****ing Matt Wieners. From Federal Baseball (#14) James Bourque, RHP Ceiling: 45 Risk: High ETA: 2019 Role Description: Setup Relief Ht/Wt: 6’4’’ / 190 lbs. B/T: R/R Highest Level: AA Age (as of April 1, 2019): 25y, 8m Video | Spotlight Bourque turned his career around by moving to the bullpen, jumping to Double-A after toiling for a few years as a starter in the lower-rungs of the system. The Nationals thought enough of his prospects as a reliever to add him to the 40-Man Roster after last season. Bourque’s fastball touches 96 mph and sits in the 92-to-94 mph range, showing late ride up in the zone. His power curveball flashes 55-grade action, and a firm changeup he toyed with during instructs looked capable of keeping lefties honest. Bourque could surface in Washington soon even if he begins next year in Triple-A. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BRAVEONAWARPATH Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 Don't know how I'd feel if I was a Phillies fan. I mean Bryce might ultimately end up there but he doesn't seem that into them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
