Same exact play?  Sure.  Whatever.  I enjoy most of your posts and I’ll leave the rest unsaid.    The play the other day was discussed the other day.  This is not the SAME play and I haven’t even seen it.   I’ll watch the play in question when I can.

Don’t know why you are taking offense.  No offense intended.  A shallow pop over IF’s head happened in first inning.  Gunnar called it immediately.  Mullins came sprinting in the entire time.  Gunnar missed it and Mullins slid in at last second and made the play.  I pointed it out because it is the exact thing I’d expect an OF to do in that situation and it reminded me of the play two days ago in question.  Would Mullins have made the play two days ago? Maybe not.  But he never put himself in the position to potentially make it.  Tonight he did and he did.  I wonder if he played the ball better tonight because of his mental lapse earlier on the week?

Matt Holliday just won't wear an O's cap, will he? Twice in a knit cap (or toboggan where I'm from) and some Old English Script cap I can't make out tonight in that interview. Did Elias hurt his feelings that much?

Ethan was wearing one yesterday.

I saw that, but I'm taking about the dad. The kid probably does what he wants.  

I think the only time I saw Matt in one was at the signing interview.

    • There are several. Snell, Pivetta, Bieber (depending on structure of the contract), Nick Martinez (swing type guy) and Heaney.  May be others. This is off the top of my head.
    • I think this is correct but I would say it differently.  I think Elias has done a great job constructing the organization and making it one of the top teams, complete teams, in baseball.  That was a huge hurdle from where he started and that has been a major success. Getting from a top MLB team to a successful playoff team may seem like a small jump but it is pretty large.  And Elias has been tentative at best at trying to make those changes.  He has taken an incremental path in hopes of maximizing his long term potential.  So far that really hasn't had much success.   But like Elias, we really should not assume that the changes needed to make that seemingly small jump from AL East contender to WS contender will not require some pretty big things.  I don't know if that is really different than what you are saying.  
    • It was never in hindsight. The Os were always against it. We had the numbers. We knew how bad it was going to effect the team.   That is why the MaSN deal was structured the way it was. It benefited the Os for a reason. That was essentially the compromise to having the team move to DC.
    • The Mets just had more exciting wins in one week than we had in four months.  I called us the Dull Orange Machine a few weeks ago for a reason.  Really boring team most of the season, with no personality at all.  They seemed to have a "get knocked down, stay down" mentality, which isn't fun to support as a fan.  There are a lot of very good reasons noted here as to why attendance wasn't great, but the energy around this team and the organization is just low and that can't help.  And a slow and boring offseason that doesn't move the needle much won't help attendance heading into next season either.  
    • This.  I grew up in Northern VA and it always took 1 hour to drive to Memorial or Camden no matter the time of day.  It was always easy to find parking as well.  Now that same drive takes 2-3 hours, and finding good parking is a pain.  Plus, the cost of parking, tickets, food/drinks, souvenirs has skyrocketed.  So the choice is to sit in traffic, fight for parking, pay tons of money for the hassle...or sit on my comfortable couch and watch the game on a huge HD screen for free...
    • Unfortunately it doesn’t sound like anything will be done before next year. The speakers at the park are an embarrassment.  
    • If they keep Ryan they can still get Mayo 350+ at bats. He can be full time DH vs LHP and play some at 1st and 3rd here and there.
