4/12 vs. Brewers: Holiday’s Home Debut

One of the nice things about a 162 season is that you can be terrible 20 or 30 times and still win 100 games.

However, all season long we’ve been playing guys who made mistakes, and we capitalized on those mistakes. This is what is going to happen if we don’t start hitting better, because some teams won’t make mistakes.

I am interested in the Micheal Douglas Franklin show.  Hopefully they show him being extra friendly with the French ladies.   And they should not leave out his Grand Master Mason stuff either.

Heasley is the only bullpen arm used today and our relievers have pitched less innings than almost any team in the league.

I have no problem with Hyde using Heasley to eat innings. The question is why is he on the roster when we have better options.

Mayo up to play 3B, Westburg shifts to 2B, Holliday back to Norfolk.  

🤷‍♂️ Last week everyone wanted all of them up, Holliday gets here, doesn't get a hit in 10 ABs now another? You don't think they'll all need to adjust?

Milwaukee beat us 2 of 3 last year, the 2nd being 10-2. So, we can still win 101 games after this loss.

Oh yeah, I remember that game. Dean Kremer got rocked. Now to check tomorrow's starters...

Great. We must have a failure to communicate.  Three times I asked a “yes” or “no” question the other day.   You still haven’t answered.

1. Pop up.  Infielder goes back into the outfield and calls for the ball.   The outfielder is running in for the ball, sees the infielder call for the ball AND is not sure he can get there.  Should the outfielder call off the infielder?   It’s a simple question with a simple answer.   You keep bringing up different things without answering the question.     Go check the other thread.  I asked it three separate times.  No DIRECT answer to that question.

The OF should assume at all times the IF will not make the play and put himself in a position to make the play.  Once the OF realizes the IF will not make the play the OF should call off the IF.

I can't help but think Fatal Attraction when I see his name. I hope Franklin has better luck with his rabbit and his stove.

    • 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.
