bearrock Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Unless Nola is going to start 162 games, I still think the Braves are the bigger threat. Damn, now I'll root for some ridiculous scenario like Trout to DC just to spit on Philly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bryce makes them better, not sure he makes them better than us I've said all along we're still better. Their rotation outside of Nola isn't good--it's 4's and 5's at best. Their 2-5 is very good, outside that, it isn't: Franco, Herrera, Hernandez/Kingery aren't very good, at all. They have no depth either. Turner-Eaton-Rendon-Soto-Zimm/Adams-Dozier-Gomes/Kurt-MAT is better, with Robles and Kieboom waiting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our pitching core is going to start getting old quick here in the next year years... course we have time to find new pitchers, but it's not an easy thing to do. That's the main thing on why I thought the front office needed to spend on Harper even after the FA additions. Once Max and Stras are done (or opts out), we may be in steep decline because ace pitchers are simply not easy to find. Having Max fall into our lap is a golden opportunity and FO should have overloaded during that opportunity to maximize our chance of a ring. Now our best shot is Max holds on for 3-4 years at his level (not easy at all), Stras stays healthy, Corbin shows last year was his true level, Rendon resigns, Soto and Turner takes a step forward and Robles and Kiebloom pans out. That's a lot of ifs. Having a presence like Harper gives you some room for error if one of the above doesn't pan out. At this point, our best hope may be one of Soto/Robles/Turner/Kiebloom turns out to be league elite level during Max's window. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trout and Betts is going to blow it out of the water pretty soon. In fact, I would almost want Trout to announce his extension this off season so that the reign of 330/13 was short lived. #ButWhatAboutTrout2DC?

It's the cherry on top of a god awful sports winter. Disappointed in Harper. Would have strongly preferred he signed with anyone outside of the division. He chose poorly and I'm sure as **** not going to wish him well. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixcuincle Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 Philly is basically Harper, Hoskins, and Nola. And yeah, Realmuto. That's it. The Nationals have a better well rounded team and arguably better rotation. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's ****ty in the outfield (at least he was last year) and they're gonna have to protect him from wear and tear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry.Randolphe Posted February 28, 2019 Share Posted February 28, 2019 I think for Harper's first at bat at Nats Park, we applaud him for his years here...but the very next at bat from now until forever, boo him relentlessly. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
