  1. Hmm. We signed Murphy because he hit that one home run against us that one time. So did Gimenez- rocking one off Scott Baker back in '09. I see a pattern developing here. Has Castro ever gone deep against us? Edit time: Oh my gosh, yes. He tagged both Alex Meyer and Casey Fien just last year! One by one, we're slowly co-opting all those 2nd catchers who've dinged us in the past. Crazy like a fox, eh? Bravo, TR, and also DF and TL! That's strategery for ya, you betcha.
  2. This unholy mess was just as bad as the Sano to RF and May to the BP fiascos. (fiascii?) No excuse, boneheaded decisions. And this nonsense about 'well, we never figured he was going to be great at it anyway,' is just so much malarkey. He IS the guy we're counting on in Mlb this year, and he was the one and only realistic option in the minors, so why in heck wasn't he in the 6 spot day after day? For Molly to say, 'gee, wasn't my fault,' is just as big a can o' malarkey too. You absolutely cannot tell me the ML mgr has no input or knowledge about that kind of situation. Cripe, how long has SS been an issue here? It's not like it snuck up on anybody we've needed help there for a heck of a long time. Pfft, to these excuses.
  3. LIke the Sano to the outfield experiment, May to the bullpen was just another complete waste of time, and a great way to set back the development of a promising young player. I'm glad he's getting the shot this year-- at least, it seems that way... we'll see.
  4. Kind of quizzical as to why Park is not on the Korean roster?
  5. How long does the DFA period last, when the player may be claimed? Is it 10 days? I understand their reasoning, but I would still hate to lose Park.
  6. Heh... good fun, Seth, this was a treat. Personally, I gotta go with Dan Osterbrock's comment! Nyuk, nyuk!

  8. Well, I don't mean to harp, but truly, given the field managerial performance the last couple of years, on a 100+ loss team- can you really expect things to be that much better? The way Molly gacked up handling of the young players, those lineups that seemed pulled out of a crazy hat, the bizarre in-game decisions-- I think they should have cleaned out the dugout first.
  9. This stuff being considered, and the way they're talking, it does seem like they still don't want to give the young'uns a shot again this year. That's why the single most disappointing thing this offseason is that they didn't clear the dugout first. Molly was horrible handling the kids the past couple years, (in addition to the rest of the team), and we're still thinking he's they guy for a young roster? Phooey.

  11. That is a little funky delivery. I like even more how he gets it, and throws it, without a bunch of messing around.
  12. Zoiks. I'm kinda thinking this Eaton trade is going to be the Nats' version of the Wilson Ramos trade. Some kind of freaky karma there...

  14. On this issue, I'm always reminded of what the late, great Eddie Matthews said-- "I could hit a bullet if it's straight."

  16. You know, back when they started messing around making May a reliever, I was wondering why they didn't do that with Gibby instead-- Still think it's a viable option for him. Hey, how about we flip-flop those two? How about it Falvey & co?
  17. Yeh. I guess the old 'rub some dirt on it' procedure may be passe by now.
  18. I agree that Maddon's bullpen moves in games 6 and 7 were illogical. And my tricorder went haywire on that bunt attempt.
  19. At last! Finally found a couple of pix from that magical night-- I know there are more around somewhere, but hey, that was life in the pre-digital age, eh?
