    I think Rubenstein is happy with Elias and will keep him for as long as Elias wants to stay.  I imagine he will compensate Elias at an elite level.  So Elias should stay unless he has some personal reasons for wanting another job.  Maybe a team he grew up as a fan of and getting a chance to run that club.  However I think he is happy enough here.  Let him get kids in school and his wife gets friends and all that make it hard as hell to leave.  Heck even Oakland's Beane used his daughter as the excuse for not taking the dream job of Boston.

    If I had to bet if Rubenstein lets him run the club the way he thinks is correct and pays him on an acceptable rate of an elite GM he should stay.  There really is no higher job for his career path.  Only bigger market clubs might be a draw.  

    Were you aware that he’s from NOVA and grew up as an Orioles fan?

    Then Who goes to the Pen?

    No one.  They will go to a 6 man rotation and keep Burned on a regular schedule.  Means, Bradiah, and GRod can use the extra day to help manage their workload.

    I don't know, the echo every time they went to the lady in the dugout was atrocious. Some bad camera angles. The one advantage is 1080P, not much else.

    Makes MASN look like middle school student government run media.

    I couldn’t believe they even threw the ball home. Zero chance at getting him unless he fell or something.

    Why risk Gunnar to third?

    I want to see De La Cruz and Mateo race.

    I mean.  It should have been close.  The OF cut the ball off.  You just knew he was going and there’d be a play and wow, just wow.  9 times out of 10 runner is hosed.  To your point, the speed caught them off guard and caused an unforced error.  

  5. I also live in Bethesda about 16 miles from the stadium. It’s faster to go to Camden Yards a lot of nights than it is to go Nat’s stadium.  Especially coming home, can get back in about 45 minutes.  Cutting across DC is a nightmare even w/o rush hour traffic. Their stadium is awful and it’s incredibly expensive.  Add in the finance bros in sweater vests on lap tops during the game and it’s just a weird scene.  Every time I’ve gone I’ve wished I hadn’t.

    Or are you being over the top because of an ultra SSS, where a back injury occurred and he was thrown off his rhythm?

    I don’t think saying his pitching “hasn’t been pretty” is over the top.  Seems pretty spot on.  I’d actually up it a bit and say his performance has been down right ugly.
