Slateman Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Nats season effectively ended today. You cant score 9 last night and lose. You cant have Soroka leave after two innings and lose today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slateman Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 That should have been a sweep. You can't score 9 runs against the Braves and lose. You can't lose a game in which Soroka exits after the second inning. That simply can't ******* happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That wasn’t the time to tinker around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davy looked like a deer in headlights. Is consistently NOT building a bullpen a fireable offense for Rizzo? I've been pro-Rizzo in the past... now I'm not so sure. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been pro-Rizzo in the past... now I'm not so sure. Not really. Frankly, it's pretty difficult to consistently have a quality bullpen. Relievers are often volatile. And honestly, who saw the bullpen being this freaking bad? Sure, Rosenthal was a bit of a gamble, but a bunch of other teams wanted to sign him. And Rosenthal looked good in ST. But Suero, Grace, Miller, Sipp, and Barraclough all had at least some proven track record of being decent/serviceable. If they had even performed to their career or last two or three seasons average, we'd be a handful of games over .500. Rizzo has always had decent bullpens and waited until the deadline to improve them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it was the plan they had as an organization and I think the plan to give Rosenthal one last shot came from above Davey. If Rizzo was involved in the decision of everything that went on with Rosenthal this year from how he was handled after he first bombed early in the season to when he got sent down to the majors to the plan to have him come back and get one more chance to pitch in the majors, I’d be the most shocked I've ever been in my life.

Skinsin2013 Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Sadly, the $7M contact, Rizzo gave him, dictated Rosenthal getting another shot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly, that wasn't even a bad contract given his workout and spring training performance. But they did everything they could to get Rosenthal where he needed to be. He couldn't do it. Payroll is tight now. Nats probably have ~3 million before the luxury tax threshold. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
