Happy to see the Braves win the World Series after the All-Star Game fiasco. Only wish they could’ve finished it off in Atlanta.

2001, 2011, 2017.

Wasn’t @Luke-OHa big fan of VanMeter when he was eligible for the Rule V?

Ravens winning, Steelers getting crushed and the O’s get the number 1 pick. Great sports day.

Diamondbacks tie the game!

I was hoping we could either beat the Blue Jays to end their season or get the #1. Neither scenario is looking good so far.

No it isn’t. It’s absurd to suggest that Elias is planning on Willems being the future catcher. As I said in a previous post, the odds of him even taking a single MLB AB are small, much less being the heir apparent to Adley. Plenty of guys have signed for 1M+ and fizzled out in AA.

What are the odds Creed Willems ever takes a single AB at the MLB level? 15%? Less? And this isn’t a shot at Creed, just the reality of professional baseball.

If Elias is banking on the 18 year old with the .500 OPS in rookie ball to eventually replace Rutschman, this franchise is truly screwed.

Hopefully the D Bags get a win over Atlanta tonight.

Yeah let’s have 6 playoff teams so the Orioles can make it once every 25 years.

I’ve been saying all year that he’s a non-prospect for me.

D bags beat the Pirates so they don’t gain a game on us in the race for #1 overall.

Who the hell is Chris Ellis

Frank Robinson easily.

Then who has a better system than us? I agree with @El_Duderino that our farm isn’t as strong as recent top farm systems. But I don’t see anyone who currently has a better farm system than us.

Fangraphs has us at #1 after the graduation of Wander Franco. https://www.fangraphs.com/prospects/the-board/2021-in-season-prospect-list/farm-ranking?sort=-1,1&type=100&filter=&pos=&team=

And how is Diaz ahead of Vavra? lol Diaz is a non-prospect.

Players that aren’t on 40 man rosters can be traded.

I see people say this pretty often, but I can’t remember ever seeing a single person in Frederick wearing Nats gear.

All this losing just to get the 3rd pick in the draft.
