Anyone who doesn't like to watch Jacob Young is a pretend baseball fan.
I would be happy to watch Young playing off the bench, but Crews ought to be starting in CF with a power bat in RF. That's why Santander made so much sense for this team (or Laviolette in 2026).
If we are going to punt another season, perhaps Woods and Crews should still be in the minors to avoid burning service time. This franchise is becoming a joke. Disgusted.
This franchise has been a joke since the '21 salary dumps. Foolish fans bought into the "rebuild" "reboot" BS Rizzo spouted to cover for the Lerner refusal to spend. Find me another top 10 market where people think a 76 win season on the heels of five losing seasons before it is "progress".

Most people in the DMV don't have the connections to get tickets to the autos-da-fé
It's just rehashing an old argument, but I disagree that fans were foolish to think the Lerners would eventually spend again commensurate with DC's market size in the summer of '21. I think you have to have some unjustified optimism to still think that way now, but not in July of 2021.
Trading Kyle Schwarber for a bucket of balls, and asking the Dodgers to make one of Max's deferral payments, reducing what was sent back, had nothing to do with rebuilding, but salary dumping. Many core fans were very foolish and naive, and the kool-aid drinking was painful to watch.
Schwarby remains the one I miss the most of all the ones they dumped...not only could he be electric, he had/has a great way about him. And he would have been the 2018 HRD Champ if the Royce's hadn't cheated.
The 2021 team was built to win again until it was found that Strasburg could not pitch. Schwarber and Bell fit perfectly, although the Nats did not have a 3B. And then...
I'm bummed that the Nationals were nowhere in any of the Pete Alonso rumors. Back in the day they would have at least played a spoiler role to help out Boras by bidding up the price.
2/$54 million plus a $10M signing bonus after rejecting 7/$158M. The Nats were never going to offer that kind of money.
If I didn't love the game of baseball so much, I'd put the Nationals in the same category as the Wizards right now in terms of not caring. Ownership clearly has no interest in competing and this offseason was proof. I love baseball itself too much to fully give up on the Nationals, but I just don't see a future for this team anymore so long as the Lerner's own the club. Just sell the team if you don't want it. This is bullcrap.
Any chance we flip Poole for something?
