We'll know by Oct, but given what he's had to play with, he's been okay, and no Matt Williams.   

Players like non standard decisions.

Time to admit, if Bryce had been slumping, Dusty never would have thought to hit him lead off, nor bat thr pitcher 8th

Would you be kind enough to provide the complete list of things he's doing all wrong, and what he should be doing?

Without Cole (he's gone now) The Nats are in the Top 5 in the league in Pitching. They are top 5 in Defense (last I check). They were top 5 in the league in many important offensive categories, but not with RISP.



How are you measuring defense?

a week(ish) ago they hadn’t committed as many errors as most of the other teams

Just checked 5th in majors in fielding percentage and errors

Doesn't range matter more?

Âllo bonjour, sorry I have not posted much recently.  Unfortunately I’ve been having some marital trouble with my wife Patti and have been living out of my Renault for the last several months. No worries though! All is well, Patti has had her kickboxing instructor Marcel staying over to keep an eye on her thankfully.

Anyway, I have nothing against Mexicans, the Canadians of the South, but I do take issue with Dave Martinez batting Bryce Harper leadoff, sorry.  Last night for example, Bryce Harper hit another rally-killing leadoff Home run.  I wonder how many times this will happen before Dave Martinez realizes the err of his ways.  I know Bryce Harper can be very intimidating with his cool hair but someone needs to sit him down and tell him to do his job as a leadoff hitter - get on base, stop showboating with these Home runs.

My apologies if I’ve offended anyone. Allons-y!

I was thinking of getting a Renault.  How would you rate for comfort?
Martinez was born in New York which means I guess you could not hold your complaints about him against Mexican-- -Canadians---french or Spanish speaking.

Thank you. Unfortunately it’s tough for me to get free WiFi these days after being banned from Tim Hortons due to a misunderstanding around their policy against clipping your nails in the coffee shop (which is not explicitly posted in any Tim Hortons to this day)

Renaults are great cars but be forewarned there is limited closet space at best.

As for where Mexicans come from - you may be right but we can’t be certain, as your election of Donald Trump demonstrated: so-called experts are sometimes mistaken.

Try Cora's. They're a more family oriented place and I'm sure they'd be more amenable to you taking care of your basic bodily functions.

Double play was on Martinez, more into gimmicks than discipline, unacceptable.

The one thing I don’t like about long win streaks caused by great manager management. Sexboat doesn’t post much.

Well, it was Cinco De Mayo after all.  :hysterical:

I seriously wonder about the guy. Is he trying to run a ball team or a circus?
