Nationals vs Braves, Game 2

[RobDibblesGhost]

Someone would take a flier on him for a C prospect. trust me, someone would. Some ignorant organization (like us) who thinks they can fix him.

I think the Nats would need most of the $14M or whatever it is he's signed for.  Don't think there's a great chance of that happening.

I thought we were in for $10MM on him again next year...

Plus he's too old to "fix", we're stuck with him

Craig Kimbrel warming up the band.

Maybe we'll retaliate tomorrow.

Isn't there a year three option?

[BH34Natural]

Uh yea B.J. that was right down broadway man.

[skippy1999]

Sit down BJ

Whatever it is, we got hosed

[PC]

Yeah, we're stuck with him.  I'm sure he'll be back and hit .080 next April.  He always starts slow, but management is too dumb to actually give him any meaningful action during ST games to get him acclimated.

I've been thinking about something I posted in the spring when I looked at the st numbers for the Braves and Nationals.  The Braves, if you remember had a great spring offensively.  I posted that the Braves regulars had far more at-bats than the Nationals regulars did.  It wasn't even close how many more spring at bats the Braves regulars had over the Nationals regulars.

Perhaps that's an partial explanation.

BJ Upton is almost good enough revenge... no team with BJ Upton being in the lineup every night is winning any kind of title. Lets be honest

[BigMeech]

You plan to get rid of LaRoche how?

By any means necessary.  He cannot remain a National come 2014.

This.

9 IP 2 ER , another well pitched game flushed down the toilet. What a miserable season.

[BH34Natural]

I was just ranting, but I think about how our offense sputters every season out of the gate, and that's perhaps part of it.

Rendon/Tracy/Harper... Rendon needs to get on so badly.

[sportsfan882]

@masnkolko: Craig Kimbrel has converted his last 24 save opportunities and allowed one run in his last 30 innings (with 46 Ks)

Why do they continue to torment us with Tracy???

[sportsfan882]

Rendon/Tracy/Harper... Rendon needs to get on so badly.

He got on last night in the 9th and it still didn't matter. They need someone to run into a HR like Espinosa did vs Kimbrel last year in that game where we coughed up the 9-0 lead.

[RobDibblesGhost]

Rendon/Tracy/Harper... Rendon needs to get on so badly.

So we can strand him, just like last night

[TylerDC]

My favorite part of all this is Braves fans wanting Harper to take a fastball to the head on twitter. People are awesome.

Such jerks and we won't even hit them back

[skippy1999]
