Get Carl out of there he has nothing today

Mf'er

Almora looked like ass at the plate today

See, it's not that hard to horsefeathering dong you idiots

Sexy

Go choke on a tooth pick, Dusty

Kinda happy with this, let them get away completely for a few days and rest/get a mental break. It's been a crazy few months for them since the WS. If Davis makes it hopefully Joe doesn't use him and just burns out Jansen and whatever other Dodgers/Nats pitchers make it.

For as smart as our FO is, it seems like they really are not smart at using the 10-day DL. This is the 4th time now they should've used it off the top of my head. Zobrist, Russell, Heyward and now Bryant. I know Zobrist/Heyward are on it now but they should've gone on sooner. I'm pretty sure they're really horsefeathering smart about everything so there was probably good reasoning for those decisions when they were made. Or maybe some borderline calls for them that they decided to try to go with the aggressive route rather than the safe route on. I mean yeah, its easy to play armchair GM. I'm sure they know way more than any of us but just seems like some questionable things this year with the 10 day. Especially with the emphasis they, themselves, have talked about in the past about maximizing player rest and everything. The 10 day DL seems made for them. Like you said maybe the alternative routes just weren't there with other injuries/poor performances. Zobrist really stands out to me. It was a good week+ at least we knew about the wrist injury before he hit the DL, they are always so careful with him getting rest (which is smart) with off days around scheduled off days, etc that it seemed so weird they didn't 10 day him right away with the wrist. Addy with the shoulder deal is right up there too, if he's hurting to be held out for 3ish day stretches at a time just DL and make sure he's totally fine. Which he doesn't seem to be since it's flaired up twice at least with no DL time.

Tell me how my ass taste, Willy probably about Miggy right now

Zobrist, Russell, Heyward and now Bryant. I know Zobrist/Heyward are on it now but they should've gone on sooner. And yeah, in regards to KB I'd rather him get nearly 2 weeks off (skip the ASB) and be really rested/healthy rather than get this last week out of him at not 100%.

FFS

Thank god, just sit him until after the ASB to be safe. That's 2 weeks +/- of rest

I mean..... it's been a half hour since Bryant left and not even a "sprained ankle, x-Rays negative with a MRI tomorrow" type deal. Jesus I'm nervous

I blame this season going to horsefeathers on never having the fatalism thread being re-started

I have no idea what this idiot is talking about for the Nats, but just let Willson fight everyone

Does he have any sort of trade value? Even if it's him and something like Zagunis for a Monty type pitcher?

#Solidarity for Lackey tonight

#SOS #PleaseSendHelp

At the least DL Lackey for when Hendricks is ready to come back (which sounds like it could be soonish).

Not to be a wet blanket, I just looked at the schedule, we play the Orioles the first series after the ASB. Could have just been advanced scouts there to watch him when we face him/them.......

have the orioles done any weird horsefeathers with him like force him to change his delivery or stop throwing his best pitch? Just looking at his pitch f/x stuff on fangraphs it doesn't seem like he's changed much. His velo is at career averages roughly other than he is throwing his slider about 3 MPH faster than his career average. He's added a curveball sparingly (2% of pitches after never throwing one) and is throwing it at the expense of his splitter it looks like (but he still is throwing the split).

Hmmmmm

Hopefully that pumpkin pie haircutted freak is part of Trump's staff and has no affiliation with the team

Some catchers on teams who could be had for not much/should be available....... how do people feel about Martin Maldonado, Kurt Suzuki, Tyler Flowers, or Mike Zunino?

This is a trade for semantic purposes only, Paul signed with the Rockets originally then more as a favor to the Clippers to get something and Paul to make more money he signed with the Clippers on condition of a trade. So the fact the Clippers got anything is great in this scenario. This is also a really weird pairing, CP3 and Harden both need the ball in their hands so much to do what makes them such good players.
