Whatever happened after he left here, it's hard to overstate how important Rendon was to that lineup. I was a strong member of the Extend Rendon contingent. I thought he was the most valuable of the 3 decisions of 2018-19 - Harper, Strasburg, and Rendon.
Still would take Rendon over Strasburg

That was my 50th.  I may have had some beers that night.

Last night’s score somewhat resembles another October 23rd:

Lots of joy from that season. Feel more separated from that win than I probably should. Global health crisis took away 2020. 2021 season started weird. By the time global health restrictions were lifted at Nats game, it was about the time we all realized the party was over. We'll always have that season. But it feels more like 2009 than 2019.

In hindsight, I have no idea how Martinez bullpen management held up through postseason while it seems every big bullpen decision by an opposing manager blew up in their face.

Also in hindsight, had there been no health crisis, I can't get over how depressing the 19-20 offseason was as a setup to the repeat season.

Absolute magic.  Still wish they'd won a home game, but y'know, whatever :lol:

I totally get you.  It really does feel like a lifetime away at this point.

Still such a beautiful memory, though.  You could almost script a postseason for this franchise and not make it any better than that.

Pretty wild how the Caps kind of went through the same thing the year before (exorcising old demons/getting long overdue revenge), and the Nats managed to top it in terms of drama and story.
