Author Topic: Nationals @ Reds, Game 3 (Read 19674 times)

STRASBURG will get reeeeeeeeeeeeeemed if he doesn't sign. sure i'll be pissed @ the nats no doubt about it (especially if it's 12 million), but this kid is going to hear it and he should. boras is the devil by the way, he has no soul if he tells strasburg to pass.

honestly if i were zim or dunn or lannan i'd tell the FO that he'd call them to put in a good word. sure it shouldn't come to this, but it's a nice gesture.

it'd be cool if they interviewed dukes after this game. other than the error he had a great game.

I'm in the LAC camp, but no one's going to fault Uncle Ted and Mini-Me if Strasburg walks away from $15-$20 million.

It's gonna be hilariously funny to see all these MASN people fighting over who gets to to kiss Strasburg's ass first when he signs after spending so much time and effort bashing him.

yeah i'm on the fence. i'm going to be devestated if he doesn't sign and will probably need some time away from the forum to collect my thoughts and not say anything i'll regret later haha. i just can't see how it's humanly possible to turn down 20 mil with never throwing a pitch in pro ball. if he's as good as advertised ... he's going to get paid. if he's not, he's already been paid 20 mil. if it's a 12 million offer, it's still a lot of money, but i can understand the lowballing view.

I forget what it was exactly but JMad posted an article a while back in which Dukes made what I thought was a pretty clear parting shot at Acta - I commented on it at the time. I think it's pretty safe to say they never "clicked"

He'll be interviewed by Dibbs and Carp on Tuesday night. You know they'll act like he's the best thing since sliced bread then.

yeah ... and i know when they argued in the dugout in pittsburgh last year a lot of people were questioning wtf was going on with those two.

but you have to give credit that dukes - at least on the surface - looks to have changed his attitude and is a more positive, obedient player. in every post game interview it sounds like he's crediting his teammates in key points of the game and praising his manager (he's been doing that up here and in all the broadcasts I listened to while he was in AAA).

Hiroki Kuroda was struck by a batted ball. He was carted off the field.
