On that Rickard play I think three things happened.

1. He was positioned badly

2. He took a bad route

3. He dove when he had no chance to come up with the ball costing us an extra run

Pretty dreadful play. Hopefully not a recurring thing with him.

Trumbo seems pretty hesitant to charge and field ground balls hit his way. Assuming it's because of the other night, but he needs to get over that.

Pretty sure Bautista scores either way.

This is the fundamental problem with this team. Wright is the type of pitcher who should only be starting when the rotation has been ravaged by injuries and the team is down to their eighth or ninth starting pitcher. He should not be a guy who gets after one injury to a starting pitcher. The SP depth on this team is atrocious.

As I said before the start of the season, Machado will lead the American league in OPS and WAR this year and people will finally start mentioning his name in the same conversation with Trout and Harper.

I think they already are.

Trout to me, IMO, isn't as good as he was the first two years. Harper has surpassed him and it's not close. A local radio show here compared their last 200 games, Harper has been better by a decent amount.

Machado is in the conversation, for sure.

    • 68% Strike Rate (sorry if this upsets anyone, lol). Needed 105 pitches pitches to get through 5 innings though.   
    • On the one hand, the streak is cool, and I really like looking back at the lineups the O's were running out there the last time they were swept in the regular season just to see how far they've come as an organization. On the other hand, every time the streak is brought up it just reminds me of the ALDS whether or not it counts, and you can't brag about the streak around fans of other teams or they'll throw the ALDS in your face. It would be like if it got constantly brought up that Ubaldo Jimenez never gave up a walkoff home run.* *in the regular season
    • Some posters/fans want to get rid of good players like O’Hearn and Mountcastle because they believe the younger players will eventually be better. In the scenario that you laid out, where Santander’s spot in RF is the only place available next season, I’m not sure that Kjerstad is the better player than Mayo. Mayo is a good bit younger and Kjerstad is not good with the glove. At least Mayo has a very good arm, so he may not be worse than Kjerstad in RF. Additionally, Mayo is more of an asset by helping to balance out the lineup due to his RHH. 
    • Yeah, he did.  But if it's not one thing with him, it's another.
    • The move I like for Nats games is to park at the Greenbelt Metro, take the metro in.  Then either take the metro back to Greenbelt after the game or just get an uber/lyft.  Traffic on 295 is literally hell on earth.  
    • Sorry for Frobby and his experience. My friend had a near identical one minus losing the cell phone part driving from Rockville last year for the O’s at nats game. I told him to take the metro and he ended up driving and let’s just say with the traffic and the garage which took about 40 mins to park when he was a block away and some of the other issues at the park left such a horrible taste he’s vowed to never go back. I used to live in Bethesda and now Old Town (Alexandria) so I’ve always taken the metro into nats or Hoyas games but that’s all dropped down considerably thanks to the Hoyas being terrible and constant issues with the metro which seems to never be resolved. If you haven’t already I would jump on your iCloud on your computer and see if anything was backed up without you noticing. Good luck       
    • I don't really know. I'd have to do some research to see if walk rates track with the league rates. Maybe he gets called up and sees his free passes go down by 44%? All I really know is there are a lot of walks in the minors today.
