Metalhead Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Rosenthal is in a really bad place, mentally. You never want someone to get the yips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Awesome inning from Suero. Tough to say he's got "potential" at 27, but he's definitely got flashes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 the fact that Doolittle even has to warm up in a game that we were leading 12-1 makes this outcome feel like a loss 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bacon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 I'll take a win that also convinces them to make significant changes immediately. That seems to be a good outcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinez is looking like another whiff on managers and the bullpen is a joke again. It's a Catch-22 though. Regardless of those two traits he's still an upper-echelon GM. If the Nats let him go he will be snatched up immediately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is, how many GM's are truly better than Rizzo? Epstein, Houston, and Boston's GM? That's really it. Only one GM wins the Series each year, 29 go home...so there isn't much to choose from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it came to it, I would try to pluck Kevin Goldstein from the Astros. Used to be a baseball america guy, now is director of pro scouting. His time seemed to coincide with their young talent getting a lot better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 Considering the state of our bullpen, Trea's injury and the quality of the opposition we've faced, I'm pretty happy with 4-4. This is a good team with an enormous flaw that can be fixed. I'd be far more concerned if our starting pitching was the problem like in Boston.

StillUnknown Posted April 7, 2019 Share Posted April 7, 2019 one thing I don't like about the organization, they hold on to injury reports like its some mystical treasure Trea has a broken finger, nobody has heard a peep of an expected timeframe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good is the enemy of the best, but do we trust this organization to make the right call? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to see how this bullpen plays out, but him getting players like Soto and Turner, you can't get rid of someone like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't disagree, but he's been in charge for 10 years, with no postseason success. So, we'll see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bacon Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Players have to play and managers have to manage. I believe Rizzo has supplied us with a championship caliber roster at least twice in the past 10 years, maybe more, and they simply underperformed. Using Rizzo as a scapegoat will only result in worse rosters down the road. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
