If Rizzo can't fix this bullpen in the offseason, it won't matter whatever else we do.  I still think we can get past LA with Max and Stras on the mound for 4 & 5.  We can beat Cards or Atl with our pen because we can outplay them on other respects.  But it would be the upset of the century if a team with this turd of a pen beats either NY or Houston in a 7 game series.  Rizzo's terrible job with the pen has put a hard ceiling on this team.

You do realize we have 4 members of our pen here for next year.  Elias, Strickland, Suero and Rainey are already staying for next year

Yeah, here's the thing with Davey's "genius" turn of using his starters out ofthe BP every game: if he uses Max for 6, Stras for 1, Doo for 1, & Hudson for 1 in a win, who starts game 5? Sanchez and Corbin are burned, and now Max and Stras are burned. Are we going into a game 5 in LA with Voth as the starter? 

 

Everyone besides Stras will be available.  In your situation Hudson will go 2 innings.  You act like he hasn't done that before.

Rainey is the only one of that grouping worth keeping around. Elias allegedly exists, but I have my doubts

Sorry they are under contract and cheap as F

 

Yes, keeping them because they are on those cheap contracts make about as much sense as keeping Rosenthal in your pen because the team couldn't stomach jettisoning his contract.  Oh wait.

 

If those four are back and not because of marked improvement in performance, Nats are screwed again next year.
