WOW! Oscar Peterson...you are a man of great taste!

Reminds me of my dad. He would come home from work and put Oscar Peterson or Bill Evans or Stan Kenton on the turntable. I'd sit with him while he read the Baltimore Evening Sun. Makes me smile and tear up all at the same time.

Starting pitching is great, no upgrades needed.

Upgrade the starting pitching and then what? The offense will still be anemic and the bullpen will still only have two and a half guys.

Bring up the prospects, see which ones are going to be contributors on a contending team, then look at your rotation and see what needs to be done.

Offense is at least average but missing Mullins hurts.  You can't have your 1B as one of your worst hitters.

Exactly. Look at what the Giants did. Yes it was due to injury but most of this lineup might as well be injured.

Not able to watch the game tonight but Burnes has been one of the top starters in baseball the last few years.

How many more games are we gonna use that excuse? If this is a playoff team they are going to have to figure out some of these top starters.

I can't back this up with statistics since I'm not sure they exist, but the variance with our runs scored feels high. There are many games like this one where they go long stretches without doing anything.

I would not trust this lineup in the playoffs. In which case, why would we upgrade the starting pitching mid-season by offloading the only assets we have as an organization?

Sure you can.

2019 Nationals ran Matt Adams out there, 86 OPS+.  Only starter that was lower was the catcher.

But hey, lets find a way to blame one player for everything, even if it's clearly not accurate.  (BTW that was the  first WS winning team I checked for a weak batting 1B)

      Adley's health this season

      Good, he should cry. His performance the last 3 months including playoffs isnt something that gets forgotten easily. Atleast not for me

      Adley's health this season

      By Witchy_Chick · Posted

      I wonder if Adley's issues are something health related but not necessarily an injury per se.  IIRC we all found out in the offseason that Ced was suffering from Crohn's in.......2020?  2021? 🤔  After Ced was pretty dreadful offensively all that season (whichever year it was). I mean something like that could potentially be at play with Adley.  Health issue but not an "injury."  Maybe something that was medically revealed after the HBP? IDK, spitballing here.

      Not trying to be naive or contradictory, but are we sure that he's swinging at bad pitches?

      I tend to agree, I'm not convinced. Cowser had hand/nerve stuff and continued to play his game. Westburg broke his hand, came back, and looked good. Not sure why getting hit on the hand suddenly made Adley swing at trash out of the zone.

      I hate that Adley getting hit on the hand is the excuse why he kept playing and his season went down the crapper, yet Italian Breakfast gets hit on the hand, breaks his thumb and works his ass off to get back to his team in time for the playoffs.    I’m a 50% believer that Adley getting hit on the hand is the reason that he was so bad towards the end of the season, but it still doesn’t explain the drop in OBP. He’s getting down to Adam Jones levels of on base percentage.  His approach seems to be totally different than when he first came up. A hurt hand doesn’t have anything to do with that.

      I watched both the Elias and Hyde press conferences in full and they both get weird around the Adley question. You can feel the hesitation on saying it's not an injury, and the way they kind of squirm around the question. If we can point to the HBP then surely they can do and would have done MRIs if Adley still felt iffy after the x-ray. Unless he's truly hiding it. But it sure feels like all parties know about something and for some reason that makes no sense to me, they aren't divulging it.

      They might not even know. Initial x-rays were negative, it's possible that Adley thought he could just play through it and maybe it wasn't painful, just fatigued? Who knows. But unless Adley tells them (assuming they're not hiding it), nothing they can really do. Wonder if Adley just felt the All Star Break was coming up, so he'd just deal.  I think it's way too obvious of a data point to ignore, personally.
