Commander -JB- Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) Oh please. So much fake outrage in the Twitterverse. “It’s so hard!” So are they good people or are they not? If you think they’re not because they are Republicans that support Trump then what is there to really rattle your brain about? I feel so sorry for you that you have to deal with figuring out if you really think these are good people or are they awful human beings! *single teardrop* Idiots.

Bacon Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 All the WS winning teams that were given an opportunity to meet with Trump have done exactly that. There is nothing unique about the Nationals in that regard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also have completely given up on politics. Can someone explain to me this rationale? Zimmerman and Rendon have done a mountain of charity work. Rendon went about his work with the Nats Youth Baseball Academy quietly and without any fanfare: https://www.mlb.com/nationals/youth-baseball-academy/thank-you-anthony Seriosuly, shows up during the ASB, to work with kids, no press, no fanfare, no agenda. What a ****ing asshole. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that everything is being documented for all time on twitter, facebook, instagram, etc, people feel the need to constantly prove what side of history they're on and to what extreme. Anyway, sucks to see Rendon in the Angels uniform. I am hoping you guys land Donaldson. This is pretty cool: https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2019/12/15/mlb-third-baseman-josh-donaldson-surprises-mom-maserati-vpx.hln And I always liked this explanation of his swing, dude is obviously dedicated to his craft. I think he'd fit in with the Nats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 This feels like one of those moves that we miss out on, make a better deal afterwards--like Brandon Phillips/Ben Zobrist/Daniel Murphy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StillUnknown Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Cost is a bit more manageable with the DH coming, but i'm hoping we make a trade at this point 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 4 year deal would come off the books the year before we’ve got to pay Soto and Robles. I’m fine with it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Riggo#44 Posted December 17, 2019 Author Share Posted December 17, 2019 We've come a long way since Smiley Gonzalez. Underrated part of Rizzo's work here is how he and Johnny Dipuglia have rebuilt the International Scouting and Development. And we did it without scamming the system...cough...Braves...cough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His 2019 numbers were REALLY similar to his 2013-2017 numbers. So you’d think/hope 2020 would also be similar, with gradual declines the following three years (age 35-37). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PleaseBlitz Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 (edited) Usually for school pictures, which they do twice a year, my wife dresses my 4 year old daughter up in a cute dress, as most parents would. Last month I made an excuse to drop her off on picture day. My wife picked up the pictures today.
