Hindsight being what it is, we'll probably realize that Martinez was given the worst Nationals team since 2010.

Uh .... that seems like the going rate for a Machado type player for two and a half months. Martinez went for less last season and was a better hitter.

Dodgers have a deal in place. Unless the Phillies are dumb enough to cough Crawford, done. It's done. Too bad. Wish the Phillies would have gone all in on a rental. Honestly, it's a good measure of what we could have got for Harper if he had hit to his career averages. And to think, people laughed at me for wanting to trade Harper to the Sox for Betts, Bogaerts, and Henry Owens.

Not sure why y'all obsessed with Machado. Not like the Nationals will be facing them any time soon.

Harper reverts to form

Max in postseason form

Ladies and gentlemen, we have stalkage. I say again, we have stalkage.

Bryce sang Martinez's praises in the press conference. Said he'd run through a brick wall for him. Called him the best manager in baseball.

1961 Micky Mantle and Roger Marris. Forget everyone else. I wanna know who would hit more bombs.

Use corked bats and just have a distance contest. Or like, put targets out there and give them random point values.

Here: You'll need this, since you're taking the Morton girl's place.

At least we win something this year.

Honestly, Angelos would derive some pleasure in sticking it to the Nationals.

Uh .. that was the DC flag, but okay. EDIT: My bad. The bat was Team America, the bandana was the DC flag.

Ovi performed like a superstar and stayed here. Harper has already checked out. Team is composed of players who simply choke under pressure. Martinez is being forced to start Harper, who can't hit his weight. Even if Strasburg comes back, their rotation is Max, Stras, and pray for 3 days of rain. This team is done. No reason to burn prospects trying to fix it. Just wait until the offseason, let the free agents walk, and start using the free salary space to plug some holes.
