Knight was mentioned on 105.7 this morning.

Said they heard him last night complaining about the Oriole grounds crew watering down the infield and taking away the National's speed game.

Guess he has really turned into a Nats homer.

This is a trend the O's have been on for a while. After all they actually made it rain Sunday seeking to slow down the Astros.

Him and Dempsey should get together. Maybe in the watered down grassy knoll was the shooter. Can't watch those post game shows. Too much stupidity is spouted.

Instead going to watch this when it starts. Now this is must see TV.

I wish there was a knob on the TV so you could turn up the intelligence. They got one marked "brightness" but it don't work, does it?

"Gentlemen. You can't fight in here. This is the War Room!"

From the Post:

The Orioles-Nationals on-field rivalry has occasionally sizzled, but more often hasn’t elicit as much passion as a typical divisional rivalry. Now a couple of MASN broadcasters are coming to the rescue.

First came Bob Carpenter, the Nats TV voice, who appeared on ESPN 980’s “The Sports Reporters” Monday afternoon, not long after Stephen Strasburg was sent to the disabled list. Thom Loverro was sitting in with the program, and he mentioned that he had just run into Jim Kaat in Baltimore.

“I love Jim Kaat, but he just tore this team a new you-know-what when the Strasburg shutdown happened,” Loverro said, then mentioning that MASN’s Gary Thorne had also been critical of the Nats back then.

Bob Carpenter can be butthurt all he wants. Whatever. And if anything, he's proven Thorne right. They shut him down, lost in the playoffs, and 4 years later, he's having elbow trouble. Yeah, that shutdown sure worked out well....

The general vibe amongst DC media pundits is that the shutdown is vindicated because Strasburg's arm is still attached to his shoulder.

      Who really cares what the payroll is?  And if you do,  why?  If we hadn't been swept out of the playoffs would we even be arguing this?  In the end the amount the Os pay isn't the issue or problem.  It's how the team performs on the field.  Sure we all know that payroll and wins have a fairly strong correlation to each other,  but it isn't exact or perfect at all.   Should we increase payroll?  Sure,  provided you makes the team better.  But increasing the payroll while not improving the team by doing so seems goofy.   Sign a #1 or #2, absolutely.   Move on from the platoon at 1st with a guy who can take up one roster spot and hit both rhp and lhp,  like Walker?  Sign me up.  Sign an impact OF and split at bats between Mullins, Cowser, Kjerstad and him?  Sounds good to me.   Replace Mountcastle with just a more expensive version of the same?  What's the point?  Sign an expensive pitcher to replace Povich with the same results?  Why,  other then a depth move?  I'm all for signing free agents and spending money,  just do it wisely and don't do it just to say we signed someone.   Actually improve the team or stand pat.  Making moves just to make moves is how you end up with Rogers types. Payroll matters, yeah.   But winning matters more.   If we can win with a 100M payroll, fine.   If it needs to be 200M to win,  that's fine with me too.  Just win games,  and let the window we have stay open as long as possible... and most importantly win the WS for the first time since 1983.

      Hyde: No Idea if Suarez Will Be Back

      If service time comes into play he would not be Arb eligible until 2026. No reason to  tender, just pick him up at Min wage.

      Smith and Bowman signed Milb contacts, stop period. which means if they not have 6 years MLB service they make minor league money if they are in the minors. Albert signed a one guarenteed contract, 740k. Itwas A Milb contract to keep him off the 40. Even if he got DFA or never pitched one inning of MLB he still makes the 740k. He was good enough to demand this contract and get it. Smith and Bowman were not.

      Just because you sign as a free agent doesn’t mean you aren’t subject to the rules around 6 years of service time. For instance, I don’t believe Burch Smith or Matt Bowman can elect free agency unless they are outrighted, released, or non-tendered. However, there are examples of foreign professionals being eligible to elect free agency early - for example Shintaro Fujinama last year.  It’s not part of the CBA, but presumably the commissioner will approve that special covenant as part of an FA deal if the player has at least 6 years of experience in foreign league.  It’s possible they would let Suarez combine his 1 year MLB service time (prior to this season) with his 3 years in NPB and 2 years in KBO.  And it’s possible they let Suarez write these terms into an MILB contract that had split MLB terms.  It wouldn’t have been my starting assumption, but it seems plausible.

      Jim'sKid26 ok down in Ashville

      By George Zuverink · Posted

      Here I am checking in. We and our condo on the east side of Asheville made it through unscathed. On Tuesday we flew into DC and moved into a hotel in Falls Church. Our son, Eric, ordered us to make that trip and made all the arrangements because we had no internet and limited cell service. We expected to stay a week while electricity is restored and then we learned about the dire water situation. We are moving in with Eric and his family who have been supporting us in every way possible, anticipating needs and things that would help us. Our daughter, Robyn, and her husband, Ken live about 30 miles west of Asheville , Waynesville, had no damage, never lost power or water. Today they rescued my car from $30 a day hourly parking, threw out everything that was beginning to make the condo stink and tied up  a few ends we left loose when we left Dodge in a hurry. They are, collectively, the loving, supportive family everyone should want and have .
